Tom Craig Arrested for Drug Possession in Paris

Australian Olympic hockey player Tom Craig, 28, has publicly apologized after being arrested in Paris for allegedly attempting to buy cocaine from an underage dealer in the Pigalle nightlife district. Released with a warning and no criminal record, Craig took full responsibility for his actions, stating they do not reflect the values of his family, teammates, or the Australian Olympic Committee. Following his arrest, Hockey Australia announced that he would lose all Olympic privileges, including moving out of the athlete's village and missing the closing ceremony. Craig's teammates were reportedly not involved in the incident, which occurred after a gathering following the team's quarter-final elimination from the Olympics. Despite his apology and acknowledgment of a 'terrible mistake,' his actions have caused embarrassment to the Australian Olympic team, which had performed exemplarily at the Games. The incident has raised concerns over the implications for Craig's future in the sport and his support from the Olympic committee.
