A Carlton player has reportedly been hospitalised after suffering complications from allegedly taking recreational drugs.
Life support paramedics attended a house in South Yarra on Saturday, where a man in his 20s was taken to hospital in stable condition with upper body injuries, The Herald Sun reported.
It is understood another player had attended the hospital on Saturday night to provide support.
On Sunday, another Carlton player also attended hospital, however it is believed this was unrelated to the issue surrounding his teammate.
The third player had dropped his toothbrush in the shower and hit his head on a soap container when he was picking it up, the Herald Sun reported.
His injury reportedly required multiple stitches.
An earlier report from 7News said at least three players had been hospitalised.
A revised illicit drugs policy was announced by AFL and the AFL Players’ Association in March.
At the time, it was claimed the policy will be the ‘most comprehensive health-led illicit drugs policy in Australian sport’. The policy was due to begin during the 2026-2027 off-season.
Daily Mail has approached Carlton Football Club for comment.
