Clubs should be told after first drug strike - Miller

Drug code review

THE AFL has talked to club chief executives about a possible change to the drug code.

If the proposal is adopted, clubs would be alerted after a second positive drug test by a player. The changes were discussed at a meeting last month between the AFL and clubs.

The move comes as club officials this week renewed their plea to allow them to sooner help players who breach drug rules.

Richmond football director Greg Miller said clubs should be told when a player had a first strike.

"And we would like the players to know that we know," Miller said. "We don't want the players knowing they have got two free hits. Just a discreet number of people at the club should know."

But Miller said the club wasn't keen conduct its own drug tests.

Sounds fair enough, Greg.
I suppose it depends how discreet the discreet number of people at the club are. Then how discreet the people are who it is let slip to outside that discreet number of people.  :-\

ps Anyone got any idea what a "discreet number" is? It's ok, I think I know the answer.......you can't tell me.  ;D
