AFL: Sydney Swans coach John Longmire says he was surprised to read of allegations of secret drug testing procedures across the AFL.
On Tuesday, Wilkie revealed he had a signed statement from former Melbourne doctor Zeeshan Arain that claimed the AFL staged “off the book” illicit drug tests to help players prevent being detected.
Dr Peter Larkins claimed every club doctor had an arrangement with the AFL that players could have positive drug tests covered up. “The illicit drugs policy in the AFL, we are absolutely all aware that it’s a medical model. We put enormous trust and faith into our medical practitioners and our doctors,” Harley said.
“This is almost on the same level as the Essendon saga, in fact it might even go beyond that, because this is suggesting AFL officials are involved in this,” Malthouse said on“It is just so damning. It is going to place every player, every club official and, in particular, club doctors under scrutiny. The ramifications are very broad.
on Wednesday morning, Fox Footy commentator Gerrard Whateley also criticised the AFL’s illicit drugs policy. “We went through the phase of learning about self-reporting – which seemed like a loophole before a player would get caught. “And a player isn’t left exposed to the four-year ban under the WADA code. The cup test sees to that.
It exists alongside and in addition to the Australian Football Anti-Doping Code which covers prohibited substances including some illicit substances in competition as prescribed by the WADA prohibited list.
