"What we have experienced so far is that Clayton can comfortably achieve 90 per cent of his running capacity, but as we saw yesterday, he is unable to get to full speed to pass his minimum training markers," said Melbourne football boss Alan Richardson.

"This suggests that, due to the discomfort Clayton felt during his run throughs, further recovery time is required. At this stage, we expect this will be three to four weeks."

"Clayton has a complex hamstring injury, due to the fact that the injury is located where the muscle attaches to the tendon, and to further complicate that, there is injury to two separate hamstring muscles," Richardson said.

"There is no doubt that Clayton's recovery has been complicated by the week he was required to spend immobile in hospital.

"The club will continue to explore all treatment options for Clayton, but as with all players we won't be taking any risks with his return-to-play timelines."

I feel like it can't be a drug thing. But it's awfully bizarre how Melbourne have handled this.

Why?? Buddy & Dayne Beams used the same playbook, drawn out injuries to hide a drug suspension.. AFL would rather it this way to protect the brand, as do the player, sponsors and club so it all gets swept under the carpet.
 
As I’ve said again and again, the easiest way for the AFL to protect its brand is to not bother suspending when they are covering up.

If they were covering things up (which is entirely plausible), they wouldn’t bother with suspensions. Not secret suspensions. Why draw attention?

How else do they do it? Isn't the 2nd strike kept private but the player can't play until after a rehabilitation period and are cleared to play. So that period could be minimum 4 weeks or longer.
