Aussie hockey player in Paris

Australian men's hockey player Tom Craig publicly apologized for his recent arrest in Paris for attempting to purchase cocaine. The 28-year-old athlete, who was part of the Kookaburras' silver medal-winning team at the Tokyo Olympics, expressed remorse and took full responsibility for his 'terrible mistake' during a media appearance after being released from custody without a fine or criminal record. The incident occurred after both Australian hockey teams were eliminated from the tournament, with Craig acknowledging that his actions do not reflect the values of his family or teammates. The Australian Olympic Committee has confirmed the arrest and will provide support, though it remains unclear if Craig will be removed from the Olympic team. The Paris prosecutor's office stated that police apprehended Craig after witnessing the drug transaction in the city.
