LACHIE Hunter has been cleared of wrongdoing after a bet was placed from his account on the Western Bulldogs' NAB Challenge clash with Melbourne on March 14.

Hunter, who wasn't playing in the match, immediately raised the alarm with Bulldogs officials at half-time when he was informed that a Footscray VFL player had placed what is believed to have been a $10 multi-bet from his account.

The AFL integrity unit's investigation into the matter has subsequently cleared the 20-year-old of breaching League rules.

Hunter fully co-operated with the investigation and has escaped penalty or sanction from the AFL.

However, the Western Bulldogs will review the conduct of the Footscray-listed player who placed the bet, despite there being no current AFL Victoria rules prohibiting VFL-listed players from gambling on the AFL club their team is aligned with.

The AFL is currently reviewing rules relating to VFL and other second-tier competition players betting on AFL matches.

Despite Hunter being cleared, the midfielder is currently suspended by the Dogs after he arrived late to a recovery session following the club's opening NAB Challenge win over Richmond.

He was banned for three games and the left-footer will not be under consideration to play against West Coast in round one. 

Hunter, who is the son of former Footscray player Mark, has played 23 matches, including 14 last season.
