THE AFL has finalised one of its key integrity structures, with a digital database of medical treatments ready to be rolled out ahead of the new season.  

As part of the AFL's Anti-Doping Code all clubs will be required to log their treatments, which will then be monitored by the League.

The new database will come into use on March 15, along with an updated controlled treatments list – a list of treatments that require written approval from a club's doctor to proceed.

AFL general counsel Andrew Dillon wrote to all clubs and the AFL Players Association on Thursday with the updated prohibited treatments list, and the final controlled treatment list.

The new measures continue to strengthen the AFL’s Anti-Doping Code, which was passed by the Commission in October 2013 in response to Essendon's supplements saga.

All clubs have participated in a trial of the new database, with Dillon underlining their responsibility to maintain accurate records.

Other changes to the AFL's Anti-Doping Code passed in 2013 included stricter guidelines for injections and only allowing club medical officers to possess needles.

The AFL’s Anti-Doping Code goes beyond the WADA requirements.
