Magpie star Dane Swan this morning told SEN radio that he had been tested three times in the past week, including twice in 24 hours when in Arizona on a training trip.

Swan tweeted his annoyance at being drug-tested at six o'clock this morning.

"Clearly they think I am on steroids!" he joked with SEN radio.

"I don’t mind getting drug-tested, I don’t have a problem with it but … I’m not sure the difference between six o’clock and say nine o’clock. Oh well, if they keep sending them out at six o’clock I might have to move house."

Swan admitted being "grumpy" about the testing.

"Just before six and someone’s knocking on the door, I didn’t know what was happening … if someone knocks on my door at six o’clock next time I won’t answer, I’ll wait until it's time to get up."

Swan said that if a player could not provide a sample immediately, he was forced to drink until he could.

That's a pretty serious allogation Dyl.  It affects the Collingwood Football Club and everyone playing DT/SC.

Well he is named in the NAB opener squad for the Pies.

Standard Collingwood rumour I would say, we are kind of used to it.

Yeah, Swanny and I went bowling and he got a turkey. But I still won.

Sounds like a BS rumour but heard it elsewhere too.

I saw a twitter post denying the rumor (from sportsnewsfirst).  Something about 3AW shooting themselves in the foot about the rumor

So we can confirm that this was just another dull, somewhat predictable anti-Collingwood rumour? y a w n!

just me refreshing os :P

For or against Zip? If we have to sack Swanny, we'd have more room to keep Pendles ;)
