Collingwood has stood Jordan De Goey down from its AFL program indefinitely.

The club will continue to pay De Goey under the terms of his contract until such time as an outcome to proceedings against him in the United States is reached or a more complete account of events is established.

In the interim, De Goey will not be permitted to train or play with Collingwood or make use of club resources, staff or facilities.

Collingwood is deeply disappointed by reports and events of the last 48 hours involving De Goey in the US. Given the circumstances, the club believes it is appropriate to remove him from the AFL program.

Collingwood has been in contact with De Goey and his management today and has explained to both its decision.
