A Sport Integrity Australia investigation has found no breaches of Wada’s code but says suspicion was aroused due to the confidentiality clause
AFL House in Melbourne. An investigation has found no evidence that clubs conducted secret drug tests to subvert the anti-doping process.AFL House in Melbourne. An investigation has found no evidence that clubs conducted secret drug tests to subvert the anti-doping process.
“The confidential nature of the medical model prevents the AFL from sharing information publicly, however the resulting information vacuum creates a degree of suspicion,” the assessment stated. “Without significant cultural intervention to address the illicit drug culture in all sports, Sport Integrity Australia is concerned about the dire impacts to player’s health and wellbeing, and the potential to bring a code or team into disrepute through integrity threats.”
The Wada code tests players on game day, and can see athletes banned from competition for multiple years.
