Collingwood had this to say about tonight's development:
Since Monday's press conference, the Collingwood Football Club has established that Alan Didak was in fact a passenger in Heath Shaw’s car on Sunday night.
The sanction imposed on Heath by the club on Monday was a result of information stated by both Heath and Alan after being repeatedly questioned about the incident.
Given the club has now found their information to be false, it strikes at the principles of honesty and integrity that the Collingwood Football Club is built on.
For this reason, the sanction imposed today will be immediately reviewed by the club, and media will be notified of a press conference to be held on Tuesday.
Both players were uninjured in the accident, however Heath was later charged by police for drink driving, with a blood alcohol reading of .14.
