The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority will not take any further action, following the AFL's decision to suspend GWS youngster Lachie Whitfield for six months.

ASADA boss Ben McDevitt released the following statement a short time ago.

"I have considered the brief of evidence compiled by the AFL following its investigation of allegations against Graeme Allen, Craig Lambert and Lachlan Whitfield," McDevitt said.

"I have also received formal notification of disciplinary action and suspensions imposed by the AFL under its Rules.

"I note the investigation revealed no use or intended use of performance enhancing drugs.

"Given the circumstances, I do not believe pursuit of additional action under the AFL Anti-Doping Rules is warranted.”
