COCAINE traces have been detected on troubled football legend Wayne Carey at a maximum security jail in Melbourne.
The AFL Hall of Fame member was set to speak with inmates at Barwon Prison yesterday when he was confronted by a scanning test.
Carey was with former Geelong star Ronnie Burns when he took the examination – a routine procedure for visitors.
The results alerted prison staff that Carey was positive to traces of cocaine.
The testing unit blows puffs of air around the subject, releasing any minute residue of narcotics attached to skin, clothing or hair.
Particles are analysed in seconds and compared with samples from dozens of drug substances.
A prison operations manager spoke to Carey, who has struggled with drug abuse in the past.
Carey was told he could proceed into the prison, which houses some of Australia’s worst criminals, if he submitted to a strip search.
The 40-year-old dual premiership great declined and left the jail, which is near Geelong.
The Herald Sun understands he and Burns, who co-ordinates a mentoring program, walked away amicably.
It is believed Carey was at the jail after Burns asked him to speak to a group of indigenous prisoners who take part in the program.
“An ion scanner at Barwon Prison returned an alert for drug residue on a visitor as part of regular screening procedures,”a Corrections Victoria spokesman said.
“The visitor left and no further action was taken.”
Carey declined to comment last night as he jogged with friends along Beaconsfield Parade in Port Melbourne.
Ion machines, which were introduced in 2006, had faults that corrections authorities said had been fixed.
Victoria’s largest government-run prisons – Metropolitan Remand Centre, Melbourne Assessment Prison and Barwon – use the technology.
Sources say hundreds of alerts are detected monthly by the machines.
In 2006, a toddler tested positive for drug residue.
The youngster was the child of a prominent Melbourne underworld figure.
It is not a crime to test positive on a jail ion scanner.
Corrections sources said the scanners did not necessarily indicate someone was carrying drugs. But they did show the person had come in contact with a drug, inadvertently or intentionally.
Carey has admitted since the end of his mighty on-field career that he had abused cocaine and alcohol.
He has been plagued by other problems, including a 2007 arrest in the US for breaking a wine glass in former fiancee Kate Neilson’s face and attacking police.
In 2008, police used capsicum spray to subdue Carey after he assaulted officers in Port Melbourne.
