Crows CEO Andrew Fagan On How Serious Crows Are Taking Crouch/Stengle Drug Allegations

After Brad Crouch and Tyson Stengle were found in possession of illicit substances during a search by Police very early this Monday morning, Roo and Ditts talked to Crows CEO Andrew Fagan.

Fagan told us how seriously the Crows are treating the situation, as well as both players' futures with the club, and if there is a wider issue within the AFL.

Andrew Fagan responds to Crouch and Stengle drug allegations:

Fagan stated that he "was immensely disappointed and frustrated . We will continue to get to bottom of it and why these 2 guys got into this situation.." and continued to share what he knew about the situation "They were in a taxi which was pulled over by police. We are not aware why they got pulled over, but we believe there was some information given for why they got pulled over. They haven't been charged but will get counselling"

Brad Crouch has recently been in negotiations to move to another club, Ditts asked how this situation would affect those negotiations moving forward: "It will add another layer.. We have been sitting waiting for Brad to give more info for club.. We have said we will sit back and wait and see what he has been offered by other clubs.. This adds situation will add another layer to that.. There is another month before the free agency start so we have some time"

Ditts then asked whether this is part of a wider issue within the AFL: "One of the reasons which is why I was so frustrated is there is enormous amount of information given to players.. To help players what happens on and off field. They are given everything to succeed and be the best they can be.. You get frustrated when you do all that and they make these decisions.. But people do make mistakes"
