A reported “high profile premiership player” has allegedly been filmed snorting white powder in a video circulating online.
According to News Corp:
“The video shows the shirtless player seated in front of five lines of a white substance on a coffee table, as a number of other men chant his nickname in the background.
“The ex-player waves a hand at the camera phone before leaning over the powder and inserting a rolled up paper in his nose.
“He then points to the thickest, largest line and snorts the substance into one nostril, to the obvious delight of the other young men in what appears to be a hotel room or apartment.”
The AFL says it is aware of the video and is currently investigating.
