How silly is this?
THE WESTERN Bulldogs have been fined $10,000 for failing to notify the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority of their players' whereabouts.
The Bulldogs failed to notify ASADA that 12 of their players would be part of a training camp in the USA between November 5-19.
Under the requirements of the anti-doping code, all clubs in the AFL are required to keep ASADA notified at all times of the location of listed players, for testing purposes.
AFL players may be tested 365 days of the year for banned performance-enhancing drugs.
AFL general counsel Andrew Dillon said the Western Bulldogs had notified the AFL in advance of their decision to conduct an overseas training camp, but not ASADA.
