September 4, 2017 12:37 PMRICHMOND has been fined $5000 for failing to provide drug testers with up-to-date address information for a senior-listed player.
The Tigers were sanctioned under the rules relating to player whereabouts information, the AFL announced on Monday.
Under the League's drug testing code with the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, clubs must provide up to date whereabouts information for drug testing purposes.
The Tigers were fined $10,000 with $5000 suspended for 12 months.
The club was fined $5000 in May after cancelling a scheduled training session and not advising the AFL or ASADA.
Seven clubs were fined last year for breaking the League's anti-doping rules by failing to provide up to date whereabouts information to ASADA.
Hawthorn, West Coast, Geelong, Collingwood, Essendon, the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda all failed to do so on one or more occasions, with the AFL finding they had been the result of administrative failings.
Greater Western Sydney star Lachie Whitfield was last year suspended for six months by the AFL for attempting to avoid drug testers by staying at the home of ex-GWS welfare manager Craig Lambert.
