Outgoing ASADA boss Ben McDevitt addressed Canberra's Senate Estimates Committee late Wednesday night stating another inquiry into the Essendon supplements saga would be a waste of time.

In one of his final speeches as CEO, McDevitt told the Committee that the Essendon 34 were given independent hearings from both the AFL tribunal and ASADA with the Government body entitled and lawfully having the final say.
