Any player that touches any illicit substance is an idiot. Want to get high ? Go sky diving!
You received some negative reactions to this post but if the test was returned on match day you're correct, it is classified as such. Sam Murray had his career finished due to the very same thing.

The code was updated on January 1, 2021, whereby “an athlete who has tested positive to a Substance of Abuse’ in-competition (which includes cocaine), the sanction is only three months if the athlete can prove the substance was used out of competition and was unrelated to sporting performance’’. - Robinson, 2023.
Player tested positive after a match so hard to tell there. But seriously, what idiot decides to use cocaine near a game day knowing that ASADA, WADA and their friends will be there to catch naughty players?

Full Article:
A player from a Melbourne-based finals team has tested positive to drugs late in the home and away season.
A urine sample taken from the player after a game in the weeks leading up to the AFL finals returned positive for a banned substance, believed to be cocaine.
It’s understood the player took the drug just days out from a home and away match.
He was tested after the game by Sports Integrity Australia officials as part of regulation in-competition testing for performance enhancing drugs.
The result of the test wasn’t known until after the finals series.
A source close to the issue said the player was from a Melbourne club involved in the finals, which means he would play for either the Demons, Collingwood, Carlton or St Kilda.
The player’s A sample has only been known for a couple of days.
It’s believed Sports Integrity Australia has informed the player he has returned a positive test.
The AFL complies with WADA’s anti-doping code, which is governed in Australia by SIA, and cocaine is listed on the WADA in-competition prohibited list of stimulants.
The AFL on Monday confirmed the positive test.
“The AFL is working with the player on this matter,” a spokesperson said.
The penalty for an “in competition” positive test is up to four years’ suspension, although there are provisions for a lesser penalty in some situations.
While a four-year suspension is possible, under the AFL’s anti-doping code, if the player can prove the violation was not intentional or there are other circumstances, the penalty could be reduced to as little as a month.
The code was updated on January 1, 2021, whereby “an athlete who has tested positive to a Substance of Abuse’ in-competition (which includes cocaine), the sanction is only three months if the athlete can prove the substance was used out of competition and was unrelated to sporting performance’’.
AFL rules dictate that the “in-competition” period starts at “11:59pm on the day before a competition in which the athlete is scheduled to participate through the end of such competition and the sample collection process’’.
Also, a suspension could be reduced to one month if the ‘’athlete completes a Substance of Abuse treatment program approved by AFL’’.
In 2019, Collingwood’s Sam Murray argued that he had inadvertently ingested a tiny amount of cocaine before he was given an 18-month suspension.
In 2020, former Gold Coast ruckman Brayden Crossley accepted a 12-month suspension for an unintentional anti-doping violation.
In 2015, then Collingwood players Lachie Keeffe and Josh Thomas accepted two-year bans for testing positive to the drug clenbuterol.
They were tested in February of that year, which was out of competition.
More recently, Willie Rioli, when he was at the Eagles, was suspended for two years after being found guilty of substituting his urine during two anti-doping drugs tests.

Interesting that they played him in the finals... going to be a bad look for the club given all the drama they have

I thought he played well against Carlton. Must have been the basketball background that caused him to nose dive into that trap.

Melbourne is in crisis.
Clarry had a medical episode, Smith with the drugs, Goodwin rumours, straight sets exit ... but Steven May knows they'll win the flag next year so all should be good in twelve months.
Isnt there rules around naming and shaming players with a strike?
What type of grub just throws a persons name straight out to be dragged through the mud

I actually think its exactly to stop wild random speculation about another player at Melbourne who was the subject of trade rumours recently
Its not nice but Melbourne are throwing 1 player out to minimise the constant rumour bashing of another
my 2c
A gameday positive is different to a strike. See the Sam Murray example.
It will be an ASADA driven ban rather than what happens with the AFL's (supposed) 3 strike system.

I would have thought so. You can buy piss tests from the chemist test gives you results in 20 mins... like those covid tests
So what constitutes a an AFL strike?
A positive illicit (non-performance enhancing) drugs test that occurs outside of competition. This was gameday, so a different ballgame - cocaine as a stimulant is considered a PED by ASADA on gameday.

2 to 4 years suspension is way too much for that offence imo but the players all know.

Strikes are AFL internal so an internal workplace issue
This was a ASADA test so govt and a legal process
