Rather than just using it as a pure cutting agent, there's also the possibility that something like Clenbuterol could actually be used to enhance the effects of cocaine.
(I have no idea, just taking a stab at it).

I also heard Hardie talking about it on 6pr - just being very evasive... and a scenario like the above would fit - as if the players do report that to the AFL (and ASADA), then, under the AFL system, that particular information would have to be kept confidential.
For these two as individuals, and the club, that is probably the best scenario short of the B sample being negative. Probably a lot easier to come clean to coke use and cop the consequences of that. (however, as their lawyers would probably be advising them at the moment - not sure much how much that would save them against ASADA, as they have still ingested a PED).
However being devil's advocate - there are probably a number of other possible scenarios in which the media would not be allowed to speculate on. (such as if there is a current criminal investigation, or some other, so far unproven, allegations against these guys).
Yep, listening to 6pr and the scenario he is being evasive about seems to be clen as a cutting agent.
it makes sense, unwittingly taking it seems to be a real possibility, ....... talk about unlucky, but you play with fire you get burnt.
