STEPHEN Dank's appeal against a lifetime ban from the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal will be open for media to report on.

His case will go before the AFL Appeals Board chaired by Peter O'Callaghan QC.

The case is set to begin at 10am AEDT on Monday and last three days. The former Essendon sports scientist is trying to have 10 charges overturned.

Last year in April the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal found Dank guilty of 10 breaches and not guilty on 24 other counts related to his time in the football industry.

Dank became the central figure in the Essendon supplements scandal but has not fully told his story to authorities.

Media reports on Friday suggested he would attend the hearing in person.

Apart from a short directions hearing, next week will mark the first time a League anti-doping body has held an open hearing.

In July, shots were fired at Dank's Ascot Vale home where he suffered a minor wound.

Last week police called for public assistance in trying to find out more information about that incident.

Meanwhile, the AFL clarified on Friday afternoon that oral submissions could be made to the appeals board.

The Age newspaper reported on Friday that Dank was angry that oral submissions were not permitted, as he had planned to call former Essendon CEO Ian Robson and football manager Paul Hamilton as witnesses.

In a statement, the AFL said, "The hearing of the appeal is a hearing de novo and as is clear from all rulings of the Board leading up to fixing the date for the hearing of the Appeal, all parties shall be entitled to call and rely upon such oral or written evidence as is relevant and make such oral or written Submissions as they consider appropriate. "
