Four clubs penalised for breaching ASADA drug code

Four clubs have been sanctioned by the AFL for breaching the ASADA code.

The clubs were fined for failing to disclose the location of their players during the off-season for drug testing.

Carlton were handed the hardest fine of $10,000, Melbourne were fined $5,000 and the Western Bulldogs and Richmond were both sanctioned $5,000 for the code breach.

The club's breached the AFL's drug testing policy in conjunction with ASADA.

Players are provided with a phone app where they must keep their locations available to clubs, with failure to do so resulting in sanctions.

The Tigers were previously involved in a similar incident in December 2017 where they were fined $5,000.
