AFL: The journalists on The Midweek Tackle discuss the AFL's drug policy including the revelation some 100 players are inside the so-called medical model.
The AFL’s Illicit Drugs Policy is reportedly set to be revamped ahead of next season, with the current iteration said to be “officially done” in the wake of Tuesday night’s bombshell revelations., with Wilkie declaring he possessed a signed concession from former Melbourne doctor Zeeshan Arain in which he claimed the AFL conducted illicit drug tests to help players avoid being detected on match-days.
McGuire claimed the league is losing control of the drugs situation, and while he acknowledged the problematic existence of mental health issues across the AFL, raised the issue of players that are ‘taking the mickey’. “That’s the biggest jump that is coming. I believe that this will be done by June this year, and I think it’ll come in next year — they’ll kick it around, they’ll have to get everybody signed off on it, but there’s far less sense of humour about looking after the players.
“That’s the thing — the doctor’s aren’t hiding, their first priority is doctor-patient confidentiality,” McGuire continued.
