Security guards kept fans and media out of the Bombers' new Tullamarine facility as the players trained on Wednesday morning, less than a day after the club became the subject of an anti-doping investigation.

The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) is joining with the AFL integrity unit to look into supplements that were given to Essendon players last year as part of their fitness regime.

If the investigation shows that players were given banned substances, the ramifications are massive.

"The jury is out on this at the moment," former ASADA chairman Richard Ings told Fox Sports News.

"But if this substance does come back and it turned out to be a prohibited substance, (then) it's a house of cards.

"This could be very serious for the players involved and extremely serious for the club."

The Bombers went to the AFL with their concerns about the supplements and the league referred the matter to ASADA.

Essendon say they only became aware of the potential problem this week, but rumours had been circulating for months.

Hawthorn great and FOX FOOTY expert Brereton has sympathy for the Essendon players caught up in the scandal.

Brereton, who is working with Greater Western Sydney in a part-time role, said that players would have put full faith in club staff.

"If you turn up to training and your fitness advisor, who is entrusted by the coach and the club, tells you to do something then you do it," Brereton said on Wednesday.

"We are all beasts of our own environment and the environment is a football club. You do what the rest of the team does.

"If the rest of the team tells you to do something then you toe the line and you do it.

"You trust that those people are making the right choices.

"I feel for these players and I feel for the club. They are going to go through a bit of heat."
