JARRAD Waite is confident Carlton is drug-free and said he would welcome daily testing to prove the club was clean.
Waite backed the AFL's three-strike drug policy but expected the AFL and AFL Players Association to closely scrutinise and possibly scrap the controversial self-reporting loophole at today's drugs summit.
The Herald Sun yesterday revealed four Collingwood players allegedly dodged strikes by volunteering drug-use to club doctors.
But Waite insisted Visy Park was a drug-free zone and said any player "stupid" enough to take drugs was jeopardising their football career.
"I don't see any of it," he said.
"I wouldn't mind if I got tested every day of the week, because I don't do it," Waite said before joining Carlton locals on Lygon St.
"If they want to do more tests, that's good because I've got full confidence, especially at Carlton, that we don't have a drug culture here.
"I would be very surprised if professional athletes were putting their careers at risk by doing drugs and doing stupid things like that.
"Personally, if I got tested every day, it would annoy me, but it wouldn't bother me because I don't do drugs."
There is a strong push to reduce the AFL's strikes policy from three to two but Waite said the AFL's current illicit drugs policy was a world-leader.
"I think our system is very good," he said..
"The players chose to have this system in place, and it's the best drugs system in the world.
"There is a lot of sports out there that don't get drug tested in the off-season.
"As a playing group we decided to be tested in the off-season to prove to the people that we are not a drug-cultured sport.
"If it changes we are fully supporting the AFL and the PA."
Waite, 29, said the self-reporting loophole would likely undergo close review.
"If there is any little loopholes, I'm sure having the summit tomorrow, if they think it is a big enough issue it will be changed," he said.
"It is up to the AFLPA and the AFL to see if they want to make any changes to the system and I'm sure tomorrow there will be an outcome about that."
