SEVEN clubs have been fined for breaches of rules relating to player whereabouts information under the AFL Anti-Doping Code.
Hawthorn was sanctioned $7500 for three breaches, West Coast and Geelong $5000 each for two breaches and Collingwood, Essendon, the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda $2500 for one breach apiece.
AFL players must provide complete up-to-date whereabouts information at all times for testing purposes as they may be tested 365 days a year for WADA prohibited drugs.
Although the AFL found the failures were due to administrative errors rather than an intentional breach, the AFL's general counsel Andrew Dillon said all clubs needed to be diligent in meeting their paperwork requirements.
Meanwhile, ASADA and the AFL are yet to complete investigations into a case involving Greater Western Sydney player Lachie Whitfield and former officials Graeme Allan and Craig Lambert.
The trio is being investigated over allegations Whitfield went out of his way to avoid drug testers early last year.
