Australian footballer Ljubo Milicevic has said that drug use in Australian Football League (AFL) is the worst thing. The 30-year-old central defender also said that the anti-drug code is covering up the substance abuse.

“The first thing an AFL footballer said to me when I got back to Melbourne and I was in a nightclub was, ‘do you want a line of coke?’ I said I was happy with a shot of Agua,” Fox Sports quoted Ljubo Milicevic, as saying.

“I can tell you there are players on drugs. Why? Because I am linked with the underworld and I know people and they tell me things. You can bury your heads in the sand, but rest assured, idols in the AFL and NRL are out taking drugs.”

“And you cover it up and do good PR campaigns about your strike policy over drugs and try to bag football. When in our game if someone is caught taking drugs they get banned for a year, no questions asked … So don’t sell us some PR campaign – you’re a bunch of bigots. You think you’re bigger than society itself,” he added.
