ESSENDON has interrogated every player on its list about using performance enhancing drugs as it continues to examine every aspect of the drugs scandal.
Coach James Hird, who fronted a Bombers board meeting on Thursday night, and football department boss Danny Corcoran this week summoned each player to individual meetings.
A meeting was also held yesterday in Canberra where Bombers chairman David Evans and chief executive Ian Robson met senior ASADA officials to ascertain the process of the investigation.

At Essendon, several crisis meetings involving all the playing staff have been held, one of which was headed by Evans.
The players were told at one meeting the club did not know if they had been given banned drugs.
At the Hird meetings, the players were asked: Is there anything you need to tell us? Is there anything the club needs to know?
Each player answered no.

Although the answer was expected, Hird is understood to have found great comfort from the meetings, further strengthening his belief that his players did not knowingly take performance enhancing drugs.
Sacked sports scientist Stephen Danks has denied he gave the players prohibitive drugs when using injections and intravenous drips when loading players with supplements.
Some of those injections were done off-site, across the road from Windy Hill.
Thursday night's board meeting heard everything from Danks' signing to his departure, his unorthodox practices, the signing of consent forms and why and the expectation ahead of the ASADA investigation.
Directors were told strength and conditioning coach Dean Robinson, who joined the club in 2012, insisted that Danks join him as his sports science sidekick.
Fremantle CEO Steve Rosich says their players have been injected with vitamin supplements, but all above board.
Robinson has been suspended pending the ASADA investigation, but he's not expected to to return to the club.
Evans said yesterday it had been an "extremely difficult'' week for the players and their families.
"There's going to be a lot speculaiton, about our players, about our club and possible sanctions but remember not one of our players has not tested positive for any banned substance or performancing drugs,'' he said.
