Sydney Swans player Caiden Cleary has been suspended for two AFL matches for conduct unbecoming.
Cleary has also been fined $5000 (suspended) for an adverse finding under the AFL’s Illicit Drugs Policy.
The charge relates to an incident in Sydney’s eastern suburbs last year, where Cleary attempted to possess an illicit substance and subsequently failed to notify the club.
His conduct was investigated by NSW Police, resulting in Cleary receiving a criminal infringement notice for possession of an illicit substance and a $400 fine.
Cleary is extremely remorseful and has cooperated fully with the AFL investigation.
The club is extremely disappointed and does not condone nor tolerate illicit drug behaviour. The Sydney Swans will continue to educate our players on the pitfalls of such behaviour.
