"all documents regarding the 2013-2014 Cronulla Sharks doping scandal"

A valid FOI request was received on 17 February 2015 and the statutory period for processing that request will commence from that date.

Should we need to consult as a part of responding to your request we will be disclosing your name to any party we consult with.

We hope to be able to advise you of our decision on your request in the near future. Should you have any queries regarding the progress of your request, please contact me on (02) 6222 4247 or at [ASADA request email].

Dear Ms Stevenson,

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth)
(FOI Act) dated 17 February 2015 and the Practical Refusal Notice sent to
you from ASADA on 24 February 2015. 

In that Notice you were notified that a ‘practical refusal reason’ existed
in relation to the processing of your FOI request.  As such, ASADA invited
you to consult with us in order to revise your request so as to make it
more manageable for ASADA to process.  We outlined that under section 24AB
of the FOI Act, you had 14 days to respond to the Notice.  Those 14 days
have now passed and we have not received any correspondence from you.  As
such, under subsection 24AB(7) of the FOI Act your request is now taken to
have been withdrawn.

If you wish to discuss this further, please contact me at
[1][ASADA request email].

Kind regards

Kate
