Swans Star Returns Positive Drug Test in Roadside Check
Sydney forward Tom Papley was issued a court attendance notice after a roadside drug test returned a positive preliminary result, with a second sample pending.
- On Monday, Sydney Swans star Tom Papley was pulled over by NSW Police for a license check, returning a positive preliminary drug test and receiving a court attendance notice for driving with a suspended license.
- The club confirmed on Wednesday that Papley, 30, was stopped due to an outstanding parking fine, which led to the discovery of his suspended license status.
- A second sample was taken for analysis, with the Swans reporting that final results are expected to take at least four weeks while the police investigation remains ongoing.
- The AFL was informed of the matter immediately, marking the latest senior Swan to face legal trouble following the Pullman Five scandal that derailed the team's recent finals campaign.
- Papley faces court as the club manages ongoing turmoil, which previously saw former teammate Nick Blakey request a trade to North Melbourne to play as an opponent next year.
