Drug Free Australia (DFA) applauds the Australian Crime Commission in its proactive approach to exposing the reality of drugs in Australian sport. In their recent report they have shown that the same organized criminals traffic both performance enhancing drugs for sport, and also illicit street drugs. It has also revealed that drugs in sport leave athletes particularly vulnerable to exploitation for other crimes including match fixing, fraud and insider information for betting. Illicit drugs have an estimated social cost of over $8000 million every year in Australia according to the Commission.
