Australian basketball great Andrew Bogut has claimed that plenty of AFL stars dabble in illegal drugs in Melbourne pubs and nightclubs - and that nobody should be shocked by allegations that the league has covered up positive results.

It follows the code being rocked on Tuesday after a whistleblowing doctor once employed by the Melbourne Demons revealed allegations of secret illicit drugs tests which saw footy stars able to avoid detection on game days.

Others were allegedly told to fake injuries to avoid testing from World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) representatives.

Federal MP Andrew Wilkie used his parliamentary privilege to drop the bombshell, with the AFL's controversial three-strike policy for illicit drugs now firmly in the spotlight.

Speaking on Channel Nine's Today program on Thursday morning, Bogut was typically blunt when quizzed about the supposed anti-social habits of AFL stars.
