Adelaide Crows player Tyson Stengle has been stood down, effective immediately, over what the club is describing as an “off-field matter”.
In a statement this morning, the club said it was “aware of an off-field matter” involving Stengle who has been “stood down from all club duties effective immediately as the club ascertains all relevant details on the situation”.
It is the third off-field incident this year involving Stengle who, in October, pleaded guilty to drink driving, just weeks after he was caught in possession of an illicit substance.
The statement said the club was working with the AFL, the AFL Players Association and Stengle’s management in relation to the matter.
Stengle had returned a blood-alcohol reading of 0.125 when he was pulled over by police at Morphettville in Adelaide’s south-west in April.
The Adelaide Football Club fined Stengle $2,500 and suspended him for four matches following the incident.
More to come.
