French police have arrested Australian Olympic field hockey player Tom Craig on suspicion of buying cocaine from a drug dealer in central Paris, police and prosecutors said Wednesday.
Midfielder Craig, 28, last played for Australia on Sunday in his team's quarter-final defeat to the Netherlands at the Paris Olympics.
A police source said he was arrested Wednesday around 00:30 am (2230 GMT) after "a cocaine transaction" near an apartment building.
He was in possession of around one gram of cocaine when he was apprehended and was still in police custody early Wednesday, said the source, asking not to be named.
