SIA recommended oversight of the Illicit Drugs Policy and enhancing the AFL's Integrity Unit.

Outgoing SIA CEO David Sharpe stressed the importance of cultural intervention to tackle illicit drug use in all sports.

The AFL welcomed the report and expressed a commitment to refining their policy to deter drug use.

The AFL emphasized their dedication to maintaining integrity and promoting behavioral change in relation to drug use.
