Peel Thunder players hit with suspensions over inappropriate conduct at pre-season camp

Two Peel Thunder players have been hit with suspensions over inappropriate conduct at a pre-season camp.

One player has been stood down from the club for the entire year.

The West Australian reports he made an inappropriate sexual comment towards a woman linked to the club.

His teammate was hit with a one-game suspension over a crude incident involving another Peel player.

“The Peel Thunder Football Club has responded strongly to inappropriate conduct during a recent club camp and taken immediate action to hand down penalties to the individuals responsible,” the club said in a statement.

“This is out of character for both young men and while a mistake does not define the person, both players have accepted responsibility for their actions.

“We are a club built on strong values and we do not condone this behaviour as it contradicts the standards expected of everyone within our club. We will continue to move forward, with a commitment to ongoing education for our players, protection of all club personnel and an emphasis on the importance of upholding our values both on and off the field.”

Peel Thunder begin their WAFL season on March 30.
