The Hawthorn president, Andy Gowers, has admitted that closing the investigation into alleged racism within the AFL club does not represent a “total resolution” of the matter, and said he hoped the league would not go on to sanction the club.
Gowers spoke to media on Wednesday morning, after the AFL revealed that an independent panel would make no adverse findings against the three former Hawthorn staff who were linked to the allegations: Alastair Clarkson, Chris Fagan and Jason Burt. All three have strongly denied any wrongdoing.
