The AFL says it is aware of only two specific cases where players or clubs may have breached the league's WADA code.
Minister for Home Affairs Jason Clare admits that players have come forward in relation to doping, following the ACC's damaging report.

ADELAIDE and Port Adelaide have called on the AFL to name the player being investigated for performance-enhancing drug use.
Both clubs say there is a dark cloud hovering over the other 800 footballers on AFL lists because no names have been released.
"As soon as the AFL has unambiguous proof of who the player is it needs to name him," Crows chairman Rob Chapman said, admitting the uncertainty had affected every player in the league.
"At the moment a dark shadow has been cast over all players, which is very unfair.
"They should not have to have that concern hanging over their heads."
The AFL announced yesterday that multiple players from Essendon - which has been in the spotlight for alleged illegal substance abuse - and one player from another AFL club are being investigated for possible performance-enhancing drug use.
League deputy chief executive Gillon McLachlan said they are the only two cases where WADA prohibited performance-enhancing drugs may have been used in the AFL, according to an Australian Crime Commission report.
Essendon went to the AFL with concerns over supplement use before the ACC handed down its report on Thursday.
McLachlan said in this case "it's possible that players were administered the WADA prohibited substances without their knowledge or consent".
But it is the "one player at one club" allegation which has the Crows and Power concerned as speculation mounts as to who it could be.
Chapman and Power football operations manager Peter Rohde say they are convinced the player doesn't come from their clubs but until he is named nothing could be ruled out.
"What makes me so confident is that not one single person form the AFL, the ACC, ASADA or WADA have spoken to me about anything to do with the Adelaide Football Club or any of its players or staff over this issue," Chapman said.
Rohde said the Power would also like the matter cleared up to stop its players from being put under the microscope.
"The club and players don't want this thing hanging over their heads all season and to be in a position where they are continually asked about it," he said.
Both clubs last week spoke to their players about the drugs-in-sport issue and re-emphasised the need to play within the boundaries.
The chief executive, football operations manager and coach from Adelaide and Port will join representatives from all other AFL clubs in meeting with the league in Melbourne this week to discuss the simmering drugs issue.
