Questions raised over AFLW illicit drugs policy

“Hair-testing will take place, but no official strikes,” Mitch Cleary said on Sportsday.

“They can do whatever they want, but it’s only for monitoring purposes.”

However, Brownlow medallist Gerard Healy isn’t overly concerned.

“I think in time, when the game becomes more professional, they’ll come up with the policy,” he said.
