PORT Adelaide has its first integrity officer as the AFL club grapples with the concerns from the Australian Crime Commission report on drugs, match-fixing and organised crime links to Australian sport.
Power football operations manager Peter Rohde will immediately review all of the Port Adelaide Football Club's policies and protocols on drugs and corruption - and put up strategies to immediately strengthen the club's protection.
Port chief executive Keith Thomas announced the appointment this evening while declaring a tough stand against the use of illicit and performance-enhancing drugs.
"Peter's responsibilities will extend both our AFL and SANFL (Magpies) football structures to ensure that standards we are applying as a club in the areas of salary cap management, illicit and performance-enhancing drug policies, protocols for using supplements and detecting corruption are relevant and adhered to,'' Thomas said.
Thomas also has declared in a letter to the Power members that:
PORT is not caught in the ACC report that declares performance-enhancing drugs are being used in the AFL. This dramatic revelation has so far caught Essendon amid allegations of systematic use of illegal substances last season.
"There is no suggestion that Port Adelaide is implicated in any way, other than recruiting two players from Essendon (Angus Monfries and Henry Slattery) this year,'' Thomas said.
"(They) may be interviewed as part of the (ACC-Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority) investigation. Both players are co-operating fully.''
PORT has banned the use of injections and intravenous drips.
"Unless medically directed, we have a strict no injection-no IV policy,'' Thomas said.
PORT is clean with its use of supplements.
"We abide by the codes provided by the Australian Institute of Sport for all supplement use,'' Thomas said.
"We only use products provided by approved and recognised brands.
"Players must inform our medical staff of any unapproved supplement or substance before taking it. They are educated to understand that if they fail to do this, it is their responsibility.''
