Western Bulldogs sack doctor who police say prescribed drugs to Hells Angels

A FOOTY doctor linked to the Western Bulldogs has been prescribing drugs to Hells Angels, police say.
Dr Richard Vucinic allegedly issued hundreds of medical scripts to Hells Angels associates and members of the outlaw gang’s feeder club, the Red Devils.
His former VFL club, Williamstown, told the Herald Sun Dr Vucinic hadn’t been employed there since September last year.
Williamstown Football Club chief executive Brendan Curry said Dr Vucinic had been recruited by Footscray Bulldogs last year and had worked with the Western Bulldogs.
Bulldogs chief executive Simon Garlick said last on Friday the club had now terminated Dr Vucinic’s services.
Police say the 37-year-old GP issued up to 20 prescriptions a day to bikies.
In covert phone recordings picked up during an investigation into Hells Angels’ boss Mohammed Khodr, Red *!Devils associate James Turner allegedly boasted he had a doctor “on board” who could provide scripts for any *!medications.
The Melbourne Magistrates’ Court heard Dr Vucinic prescribed Xanax, Valium and other drugs.
Police said Dr Vucinic “was linked to the Western Bulldogs or its affiliate the Williamstown Football Club”.
Williamstown is not an affiliate club to the Western Bulldogs this year, with Footscray instead representing the AFL club in the VFL.
Dr Vucinic told Magistrate Simon Garnett: “I’m not guilty. I didn’t know he was a bikie”.
He said his arrest had the potential to destroy his career.
Dr Vucinic is under investigation by the Medical Board of Victoria. He has been granted bail with strict conditions.
