Thomas coached St Kilda from 2001 to 2006 and said he was stunned when a player told him how “rife” the issue was.
“I would’ve had suspicion of one or two, but no more than a week or so after I finish (with the Saints), one of the players, he told me what had actually been going on, which basically devastated me,” Thomas said on the podcast.
“He said that it (recreational drug use) was rife – a lot of them.
“Some of the players that were mentioned could’ve dropped me.”
