Kennett hits out at player non-disclosure
Posted
Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett has criticised some of the changes to the AFL's illicit drugs policy.
The League's revised policy does not require clubs to be notified about a player's drug use until that player returns three positive tests.
Mr Kennett says clubs should be told after the first positive test.
He has told Fairfax Radio clubs are able to provide more assistance when they are aware of the players' problems.
"I am not saying I should be told as president, but I would certainly like my CEO to be told," he said.
"So that if we have to help that player if we can protect other players from being influenced from the one that's tested positive, it's surely got to be a step in the right direction."
