DANE Swan has revealed he doesn't have a strike under the AFL's illicit drugs policy.

The Brownlow medallist also denied he had a drug problem and was perplexed why he was regularly the focus of rumour and innuendo regarding his social life.

"No I do not have a strike under that policy," Swan said. "There are so many rumours about me, that I have had three strikes and the AFL are hiding it, not to suspend me and stuff like that.

"It's ridiculous. I have never had a strike, never."

Swan denied on The Footy Show last night that he was one of four Pies who self-reported last year to avoid being tested.

"No I wasn't (one of them) and I have no idea who the four were," he said. "The only time I ever read about it was when it was in the paper, that was the only time I heard of it."

Asked directly if he had a drug problem, Swan said: "Absolutely not, it baffles me where it comes from so I can categorically tell you that I don't have a drug problem.

"I don't know where it comes from. No matter what I say people aren't going to believe me but I certainly don't have a drug problem."

The Pies star did admit he was no angel but was nowhere near as bad as it was regularly reported.

"I'm clearly not an angel," he said. "I'm not the perfect model footballer. I probably go out a little bit more socially than the common footballer.

"I'm not naive enough to think that everything that is said about me is a lie because where there is smoke there's fire, but I'm nowhere near as bad as what I'm portrayed in the media."

Swan said he'd improved his attitude and turned his career around since he was suspended last season for drinking.

Collingwood were outraged that Swan had done the interview without the club's approval and he was summoned to a meeting with Pies chief executive Gary Pert yesterday where he is believed to have been fined $5000.
