DANE Swan's manager Liam Pickering has dismissed suggestions that the Collingwood star has a lifestyle problem.

Pickering came to Swan's defence after there was a call this week for the 2011 Brownlow Medal winner to be sacked for alleged poor conduct during the off-season.

"There is no problem,'' Pickering told SEN today. "He (Swan) is across exactly what needs to be done. We've discussed it, we know where he is at, and we move on.''

Pickering said he had not asked Swan about the allegations that his off-field behaviour was seen as a serious issue at Collingwood, but he had spoken with the club.

"There wasn't a lot of facts to it,'' Pickering said of the call to sack Swan.

Asked whether he had specifically asked his player whether drugs were a serious issue for AFL footballers, he said: "Why would I? If you ask them, what do you think their response would be?

"You try to educate your players, but you trust their better judgment in a situation that they will understand the implications.''

Collingwood chief executive Gary Pert told the Herald Sun this week that illegal drug use among AFL players was one of the biggest problems in the game.
