JUST IN: Collingwood Football Midfielder Nick Daicos Suspended Indefinitely After Positive Drug Test

In a shocking development that has sent ripples through the AFL community, Collingwood Football Club midfielder Nick Daicos has been suspended indefinitely following a positive drug test, according to early reports from AFL Integrity Unit sources.

The 22-year-old rising star, widely considered one of the brightest young talents in Australian rules football, reportedly returned a positive result for a banned substance during routine post-match testing. The substance in question has not yet been officially confirmed by the AFL, but insiders suggest it could be a performance-enhancing or recreational drug, which would carry significant consequences under the league’s anti-doping policy.

AFL spokesperson Emma Caldwell issued a brief statement this afternoon:

“We can confirm that a player has returned a positive test for a prohibited substance. An investigation is currently underway, and the player has been provisionally suspended pending the outcome.”

Collingwood Football Club has also released a short statement, saying:

“We are aware of the reports regarding Nick Daicos and are working closely with the AFL and relevant authorities. The club takes all matters relating to player conduct seriously and will not be commenting further until the investigation is complete.”

Daicos, the son of club legend Peter Daicos, has been instrumental in Collingwood’s recent success and was a strong contender for this year’s Brownlow Medal. His suspension is a devastating blow not only to the club’s finals campaign but also to fans across the country who had embraced the young midfielder as the new face of the game.

Social media has exploded with speculation and reactions, with fans expressing shock, disbelief, and support for the young player. Many have urged the public to wait for all the facts before drawing conclusions.

If confirmed, the suspension could lead to a multi-year ban from the sport, depending on the classification of the substance and whether mitigating circumstances are found.
