A CURRENT AFL player has received dietary and fitness advice from one of the key figures in the Essendon drugs probe.
The player's camp yesterday confirmed the footballer, who is not a Bomber, met Shane Charter - the self-styled fitness guru who calls himself "Dr Ageless" - several times last year.
The player, whom the Herald Sun has chosen not to name, worked with a Charter "underling" on a diet and weights program.
The Herald Sun has been told he is not the player referred to as the "rogue doper".
The player's camp said he had worked on improving his condition and didn't believe he had taken any banned performance-enhancing substances.
Charter was a personal trainer and pharmaceutical company salesman with links to former Essendon sports scientist Steve Dank.
He has been accused of supplying Dank with the supplements at the centre of the Bombers probe.
Former AFL stars James Hird, Luke Darcy, Shane Woewodin, Scott West and Simon Garlick used Charter as a consultant during their playing days.
But the player is the only current AFL footballer known to have sought the help of the Charter camp.
Essendon continues to be investigated for the possible use of performance-enhancing drugs.
But the identity of a player from an unnamed second club named in an Australian Crime Commission investigation into sports doping remains a mystery.
Charter has been a central figure in the drugs allegations furore sparked by the release this month of the ACC report.
He was arrested and found to be in possession of 100,000 pseudoephedrine-based tablets in 2004.
He pleaded guilty and received a reduced prison sentence.
Charter worked with Hird in 2003 giving the Brownlow medallist what, Essendon said, was dietary advice.
