MELBOURNE (Reuters) - James Hird, the Australian Rules football coach at the centre of the nation's biggest doping crisis, has said he hopes to return to the game after battling depression and a drug overdose that nearly cost him his life.
The former Essendon Bombers coach was suspended for a year by the Australian Football League in 2013 for bringing the game into disrepute after the Melbourne club was found to have run an organised regime of highly dubious supplement injections.
