THE AFL has no specific information linking Gold Coast players to the Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission's investigation that has seen former Sun Karmichael Hunt facing drug charges, League CEO Gillon McLachlan says.

McLachlan said the AFL's integrity department had contacted the relevant bodies involved in the investigation to gain as much information as is appropriate but it remained uncertain as to what the investigation may uncover.

"I don't have any information at the moment that is negative or alarming but I don't have any assurances of any broader implications, so we have a watching brief," McLachlan said on Tuesday.

Hunt received a notice last Thursday alleging he and three others arranged for the supply of cocaine for personal use and on-sale to friends between June and December, 2014.

The former rugby league player retired from the Suns late last season after five years at the club and joined rugby union club the Queensland Reds.

McLachlan said the situation was disappointing for Hunt but no-one had all the details as to what had taken place.

He said the AFL would not attempt to distance itself from the reality that Hunt was a significant figure in the formation of the Suns.

"He was an influential leader at the club and he made a significant contribution," McLachlan said.

"He has made, seemingly, a terrible mistake. What he has done will play out, and the implications of what he has done will play out, but I'm not going to be piling in with everyone else to diminish what he did."

The AFL has been in contact with the Suns since Hunt was charged.

"I have confidence in the culture and the playing group at that club," McLachlan said.

He said if any issues arose, the AFL would deal with them as they arose. 

McLachlan also reiterated his support for the competition's illicit drugs policy.
