Recent revelations in the Australian Football League (AFL) have exposed a clandestine scheme where about 100 current players have been granted secret immunity from the league's three-strike drugs policy. This has sparked criticism from figures like Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Paterson and NRL CEO Andrew Abdo. Federal MP Andrew Wilkie has announced plans to hand over documents detailing a secret AFL drug testing regime to Sport Integrity Australia. Former Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett has also spoken out, highlighting the need for a different illicit drugs code to prevent similar incidents.
