On Wednesday, AFL General Counsel Andrew Dillon issued Infraction Notices to Lachlan Keeffe and Josh Thomas of the Collingwood Football Club, after being formally notified by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority of the recent decision of the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel that those Players had possibly breached the AFL Anti Doping Code.
The AFL will now work with the players’ representatives and ASADA in scheduling the next steps in the Anti-Doping process.
On Friday 27 March 2015, ASADA informed the AFL that samples taken from Lachlan Keeffe and Josh Thomas of the Collingwood Football Club on 10 February 2015 had tested positive for the presence of a WADA-prohibited substance.
The substance, clenbuterol, is not a specified substance on the AFL Anti-Doping prohibited list and as such, has required the players to be provisionally suspended.
Statement: Infraction Notices issued
Infraction Notices have been issued to Lachlan Keeffe and Josh Thomas by AFL General Counsel Andrew Dillon.
