Andrew Wilkie says he has credible evidence to support his latest claims about a player who was in the AFL’s medical model for his drug use.
Federal MP Andrew Wilkie has turned up the heat on the AFL’s illicit drugs policy by claiming he has “credible evidence” that an AFL player’s parents were blackmailed by criminals because their son was addicted to drugs while in the league’s medical model.
The family reportedly told Wilkie that just days after their son was drafted at age 18 he witnessed senior teammates smoke ice pipes. “Rather than helping players get off drugs, the medical model has enabled players to continue taking drugs in secret.”
