Hawthorn's defence to allegations of racism from three former AFL players includes a claim one player was dropped from a final because of recent drug use.
Brisbane coach Chris Fagan, one of the three men accused in the Hawthorn racism allegations, says he would welcome the claims to be tested in a public court.
Former AFL player Phil Egan has been arrested following an investigation into allegations of fraud relating to the management of an Aboriginal organisation.
Chris Fagan has publicly addressed accusations of racism while at Hawthorn for the first time, with the Brisbane AFL coach insisting his conscience is clear.
Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett says he was "flabbergasted - and worse" by the AFL club's racism report, but hopes for a resolution by the end of the year.
