Five Sydney Swans players in Australia's top-tier Australian Football League (AFL) have been suspended for the remainder of the season following a police investigation into an alleged sexual assault at a Melbourne hotel. Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, James Jordon and Riley Bice were stood down after the club determined they had breached its standards by drinking past permitted hours and bringing women to their rooms at the Pullman Hotel, where the team had been staying after a weekend match. None of the players have been arrested or charged, but the case has drawn significant attention given that the Swans are currently second in the league standings and were preparing for the upcoming finals series.
