AFL General Counsel Andrew Dillon today said the Richmond Football Club had been sanctioned $5,000 for a failure to provide up-to-date player address information to ASADA.
Under the requirements of the Anti-Doping Code, all clubs in the AFL competition are required to keep ASADA notified at all times of the location of listed players, including home address details, for testing purposes. AFL players may be tested 365 days of the year for banned performance-enhancing drugs.
Mr Dillon said Richmond had been sanctioned the minimum $5000 amount for the administrative error, due to its strong compliance history, but had been reminded that the rules needed to be fully complied with at all times.
