According to reports, some 100 AFL players have received secret amnesty from the three-strike policy of the league, and the MP who brought the accusations has blasted the federal government for trying to silence him.
He asserted that the AFL had “secretly manipulated” hundreds of thousands of Australians into watching games without their knowledge.
With a statement expressing its unremorse for the programme and a claim that players were not in violation of doping laws because they were not playing, the AFL said it was devoted to ‘player wellbeing and care’.
With his daughter, 92 viewers, Peter Daicos remembers the AFL attempting to outlaw a historic occasion.
“We’re talking about a handful of players,” AFL CEO Andrew Dillon stated, but the Herald Sun has been informed by football insiders that the number may be much higher.
According to sources, clubs are deliberately seeking out cocaine addicts and enrolling them in “the medical model,” which spares them from receiving strikes.
According to an insider, “even the cleanest clubs would have about five players on this so-called rehabilitation programme.”
Some would possess much more. We are talking about maybe 100 players spread among 18 clubs.
The programme was described as “a mechanism to cover up drug use” by a different source.
Wilkie called on Anthony Albanese, the prime minister, to step in and ‘do everything he can to restore and safeguard the reputation of our cherished game’.
But on Wednesday during Question Time, Albanese dismissed the calls.
“I don’t know if these accusations are true or not,” he remarked.
‘I have a big job.
‘On the job description isn’t the control of the Australian Football League.’
Mr Wilkie also accused the Labor government of preventing him from tabling evidence of misconduct among AFL staff and executives after his move was voted down.
He also questioned if the government had been involved in a ‘massive misstep or a cover up’.
The prime minister said Mr Wilkie should have gone to the person at the dispatch box in the chamber if he was serious about tabling the documents.
Mr Albanese said he was always open to discussion with other members.
‘Sport Integrity Australia is aware of the issue and they have begun their assessment,’ he said.
