ESSENDON fitness guru Dean Robinson has done nothing wrong, his lawyer David Galbally QC says.
 
Robinson has been stood down indefinitely by the Bombers pending an investigation by the AFL's integrity unit and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority into the club's supplement program last season.
 
The investigation follows the release of an Australian Crime Commission report last Thursday, which the AFL subsequently confirmed had identified possible performance-enhancing drug use by multiple Essendon players last season.
 
As Essendon's high-performance manager, Robinson oversaw the supplement program that was administered by one of his staff members, sports scientist Stephen Dank.
 
But Galbally told 3AW's Sports Today Robinson had not committed any offences.
 
"He is innocent, he's done nothing wrong," Galbally said.
 
"But unfortunately the way things have unfolded he's under the microscope and has had all the press and the media focused on him, as well as the good doctor in Sydney."
 
Galbally would not comment when asked if Essendon had acted appropriately in suspending Robinson, but said recent events had taken an "enormous" toll on his client.
 
While Dank has gone public with his side of story, Robinson is yet to tell his version of events.
 
"He's got obligations to his employer and he's following those obligations," Galbally said, explaining his client's silence.
 
"And he appreciates that at this point in time he's just got to wait and see what unfolds – if anything."
 
Galbally told AFL.com.au earlier on Wednesday that he had recently been engaged to represent Robinson.
 
"It's just to provide general advice and just oversee and look after him," Galbally told 3AW.
 
"He's been under enormous pressure and strain and he needed to have some general advice and that's what I was engaged to do."
 
Galbally meet with officials at AFL House on Wednesday, but wouldn't tell AFL.com.au what was discussed, or even if it was related to Robinson's situation.
 
Galbally is no stranger to high-profile AFL cases, having represented ex-Crow Kurt Tippett through his case before the AFL Commission last year.
 
He was also employed by the AFL Players' Association to investigate disgraced player agent Ricky Nixon.
