Disgraced sports scientist Stephen Dank has been charged by Northern Territory Police with offences relating to his time working at an anti-ageing business in Darwin.

Mr Dank, 56, is facing fraud offences and charges of recklessly endangering serious harm and causing serious harm, NT Police said in a statement.

The charges relate to his former employment at the Darwin Ageless Health Clinic NT in 2017.

Mr Dank was the architect of the Essendon Football Club’s 2012 supplements regime, which led to 34 players being suspended from competition in 2016 after they were found to have been injected with a banned substance.
