The AFL world has been rocked by stunning news involving Collingwood Football Club ruckman Darcy Cameron, who has reportedly been handed a suspension after returning a positive test under the league’s anti-doping policy.

According to emerging reports, the 28-year-old key big man has been provisionally suspended pending a full investigation. The AFL and Collingwood Football Club released brief statements confirming that a player had tested positive to a prohibited substance during routine testing, triggering immediate action under the competition’s strict integrity guidelines.

While the specific substance has not yet been officially detailed, sources suggest it relates to a substance listed under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code. Cameron is said to be cooperating fully with both the AFL and Sport Integrity Australia as the process unfolds.

Collingwood stated:

> “The club is aware of the situation involving Darcy Cameron. We take integrity matters extremely seriously and will continue to support Darcy while the appropriate procedures are followed.”

Cameron has been a key figure for the Magpies in recent seasons, playing a crucial role in the ruck and around the ground with his contested marking and follow-up work. His absence would be a significant blow to Collingwood’s structure, particularly during a critical stage of the season.

Teammates and fans have expressed shock across social media, with many urging patience until the full details are confirmed. Under AFL rules, players have the right to appeal and present evidence if there are mitigating circumstances.

At this stage, the length of the suspension remains unclear. Further updates are expected once the AFL concludes its investigation and formally announces the outcome.
