For Gen Z and younger millennials, alcohol isn't anywhere near as popular as it used to be. And 'drugs' are very normalized. There's no real taboo there. Add to that the reality that drinking = hangovers and weight gain, it'd be crazy to think coke use isn't even more prevalent in professional sports than the broader community.Let he without sin cast the first stone.
Cocaine use is rife throughout the AFL and AFLW.
Personally, I'd rather our players live 'clean' but that's not going to happen.
Obviously what happened with Chris Mainwaring shows that coke is far from safe if you're not careful/smart about it. But I guess that's no different to booze is it.
