An anti-ageing doctor caught up in the Essendon drugs saga found to have acted at the “highest end” of unprofessional conduct had been fined just $7000.

Doctor Robin Willcourt, who ran the Epigenx Integrated Medicine practice at South Yarra's Como Centre, became embroiled in the doping of players at the Essendon Football Club after being drafted into the regime by disgraced sports scientist Stephen Dank.

The physician's behaviour drew the ire of the Medical Board of Australia, which launched action against him in late 2016 at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

In recent hearings the tribunal heard Dr Willcourt, who has also been questioned by the Australian Crime Commission over his role in the supplements saga and has been linked to the treatment of ex-Bandidos enforcer Toby Mitchell , failed to follow proper medical procedures when ordering and assessing blood samples from seven Essendon players.
