Whistle-blowers have accused the Australian Football League (AFL) of conducting 'off-the-books' drug testing of players and covering up positive results, as revealed in the Australian parliament. The AFL responded to claims of a cocaine cover-up operation, leading to footy legends tearing apart the confession. The league confirmed that players who tested positive for illicit drugs were sitting out games with concocted injuries, which had been an open secret in the Aussie Rules world. Fallout continues as AFL bosses face mounting pressure following the exposure of the league's secret drug testing regime, with calls for resignations of senior figures.
