Sydney Swans player Riley Bice remains stood down by the club, despite police clearing him, according to multiple reports. Swans coach Dean Cox says Bice will not yet return to team activities.
The decision follows police action that cleared Bice of wrongdoing, which would typically allow a player to resume normal involvement. However, outlets report that the club keeps him sidelined while it determines its next steps. Both sources attribute the continuation of the stand-down to the Swans’ internal process, not to any further police findings.
While police clearance resolves the matter through law enforcement, the reports indicate the club is still managing reputational and disciplinary considerations under its own policies. The accounts do not cite a specific timeframe for when Bice could return, nor do they describe any additional allegations or new charges.
