Australian hockey player Tom Craig was arrested in Paris for allegedly attempting to buy cocaine during the ongoing 2024 Olympics. The arrest occurred on the night of August 6, when French police, monitoring a narcotics operation, intercepted Craig while he was engaged in a drug transaction in the trendy ninth arrondissement. The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) confirmed the detention but noted that no charges have been laid, and they are providing support for Craig. This incident has sparked outrage among fans and fellow athletes, raising concerns about its potential impact on Craig's career and the reputation of the Olympics. The Paris prosecutor's office reported that Craig was caught with approximately one gram of cocaine, and further investigations are underway. Australia's men's hockey team, known as the Kookaburras, recently faced elimination from the tournament, losing to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.
