According to sources familiar with the situation, the positive test was identified during routine league testing procedures. While specific details surrounding the substance in question have not yet been officially confirmed, the league is understood to have followed its standard protocols in notifying both the player and the club.
In a brief statement, Collingwood acknowledged the reports and indicated it is working closely with the AFL and relevant authorities. “The club is aware of the matter involving Darcy Cameron and is cooperating fully with the AFL’s anti-doping process. We will not be making further comment at this time,” the statement read.
Cameron, a key component of Collingwood’s ruck division in recent seasons, has played an important role in the club’s on-field structure. His reported suspension could have significant implications for the Magpies’ lineup and depth heading into the upcoming rounds.
The AFL’s anti-doping policy, aligned with the World Anti-Doping Code, provides players with the opportunity to have B-sample testing conducted and to present their case before any final sanction is imposed. It remains unclear whether Cameron intends to challenge the finding.
The league has yet to release a detailed public ruling, and further updates are expected as the process unfolds.
