Retired Collingwood star Dane Swan believes the AFL does not have an issue with illicit drugs, despite freely admitting he experimented with substances during his playing days.Swan, one of the AFLs more colourful characters, was recently forced into retirement due to a debilitating foot injury. The Brownlow Medallist played just one game in 2016.But the Magpies star hasnt departed the game quietly, revealing to the Sunday Herald Sun?he experimented with illicit drugs?but also the fact that he never received a strike under the AFLs controversial illicit drugs policy, which was tightened at the start of the 2016 season.Swan believes there is no cause for alarm from the community when it comes to their AFL heroes and the use of illicit drugs, saying the game would hold up favourably if compared to any other profession.I wasnt really looking for anything, I did them [illicit drugs] because I guess I wanted to, Swan told Melbourne radio station SEN.So I was trying new things ... I wasnt forced, I did them because I wanted [to]. Im my own person. In the end, whether youre an AFL footballer, whether youre a sports journo, whatever you are, youre going to do things of your own volition; if you want to youre going to.And its like I said, whether youre an AFL footballer, if you want to try something at some stage, youre going to.Now I would argue that if you took a snapshot of any other profession and you took it against AFL footballers ... we would be a helluva lot lower than any other profession in Australia.Swan said there was a lot of hypocrisy when it came to illicit drugs, and pointed the finger squarely at the media.Every journo whos got a voice, well Id like to drug test them and see if theyve ever done it, Swan said.I hear stories about everyone, too. So theres a lot of glass houses out there but, yeah, I think our snapshot would be extremely low compared to everyone else.While Swan admitted the AFLs policy - which now sees players names made public following a second positive test rather than a third - meant hed been the victim of rumour and innuendo while playing, the veteran of 258 AFL games said it was largely achieving its desired outcomes.I think they should, Swan replied when asked about whether AFL should persist with the policy.I never actually said when and where I did [drugs]. I havent listened to a lot of radio but everyone seems to think I was dodging drug tests and doing all this, and I got drug tested more than anyone.But I never ever said once that I was doing it during the season, I was doing it here, I was doing it there; so people were just [making] two and two equal five all of a sudden and half the people think there was a tweet that I said about, you know, the drug testers coming to my house, and people have been retweeting that and thinking it was funny. But thats performance-enhancing drugs and everyone that takes performance-enhancing drugs should be caught and suspended for two years or whatever it is.But the recreational thing, I think, and Im not an AFL doctor, Im not a doctor, so I have absolutely no idea; I think the two AFL docs who monitor the policy are doing a great job.
