Tom Craig Apologizes After Arrest in Paris

Australian hockey player Tom Craig was arrested in Paris for allegedly attempting to buy cocaine following his team's elimination from the Olympic Games. After spending a night in custody, he was released with a warning but faced immediate consequences, including losing all remaining privileges at the Games and moving out of the Olympic village. Craig publicly apologized for his 'terrible mistake,' emphasizing that his actions do not reflect the values of his sport or country. Anna Meares, Australia's Olympic team leader, stated that while Craig is a good person who made a bad decision, there are serious repercussions for such actions. The incident overshadowed Australia's achievements at the Games, including winning a record number of gold medals. The French prosecutor's office confirmed that a 17-year-old alleged drug dealer was also arrested during the incident.
