Australian men’s Olympic hockey player Tom Craig is in custody after being arrested in Paris.
The Australian Olympic Committee confirmed a player was arrested on Tuesday night, local media reporting for allegedly trying to buy cocaine.
However, the AOC said in a statement no charges had been laid.
The AOC didn’t reveal the identity of the player, however, it was confirmed by AAP to be Kookaburras star Craig.
The 28-year-old Sydneysider is at his second Olympics after also being a part of the silver medal-winning campaign at the Tokyo Games, making his senior debut 10 years ago.
“The AOC has confirmed an Australian hockey team member is in custody after being arrested in Paris on August 6,” the AOC said in a statement early Thursday (local time).
“No charges have been laid.
“The AOC is continuing to make enquiries and arrange support for the team member.”
Both national teams attended a function at their hotel on Tuesday.
The Hockeyroos and Kookaburras were both eliminated at the quarter-final stage this week.
