Melbourne-based AFL club rocked by alleged off-season drug incident
At least 3 players needed emergency care after an alleged recreational drug incident, and the club said two were admitted under separate circumstances.
- On Sunday, the Carlton Football Club confirmed players Lachie Cowan and Will Hayward were admitted to hospital under "separate circumstances" following a Saturday night gathering.
- Reports emerged earlier Sunday that several players required emergency medical care after allegedly using recreational drugs, prompting the club to address the situation publicly.
- Ambulance Victoria paramedics treated a man in his 20s in South Yarra for upper body injuries, while Hayward received stitches for a head cut after a fall.
- Both players have been discharged after receiving necessary care, and the Carlton Football Club remains in regular contact with them, prioritizing their wellbeing.
- This incident occurs as the AFL implements a new Illicit Drugs Policy, which replaces the previous "three strikes" model to focus on health-based support.
