TWEETS posted by Jake Carlisle on his worldwide end-of-season jaunt cost Essendon a $2500 fine under the AFL’s anti-doping code.
Carlisle’s calamitous Snapchat drugs video will this week cost the disgraced St Kilda recruit a chunk of his new four-year contract worth $600,000-plus a season.
But it emerged today the Bombers are also out of pocket after Carlisle failed to inform the club of his post-season travel plans, which he openly documented on Twitter and Instagram in September and October.
Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority staffers saw the social media posts from London, Belfast and Paris, triggering the financial sanction.
Players are required to notify their club of their whereabouts at all times, information that is relayed to ASADA.
Essendon did not know Carlisle was heading overseas and therefore did not notify ASADA.
AFL players can be drug tested by ASADA 365 days of the year.
Carlisle, 24, briefly returned to Melbourne in October before jetting to the United States where he filmed the infamous video in which he is seen snorting lines of white powder.

— Jake Carlisle (@jcarlisle22) September 19, 2015The footage was aired on national television just hours after he was traded to the Saints on October 21.
It was confirmed today Carlisle did not attend his scheduled end-of-season exit interview or medical assessment with the Bombers.
He effectively walked out on the club after its Round 23 win against Collingwood.
Carlisle was heard declaring: “This club is f---ed” as he walked through the interchange gates at Spotless Stadium in Round 19.
The outburst was heard by club officials and fans and was one of three on-field episodes late this season where he openly bagged the club.
Carlisle then stood up in front of his teammates and apologised.
Incoming coach John Worsfold said he wanted to speak to Carlisle to persuade him to stay, but the key defender was intent on leaving Tullamarine.
He requested a trade to St Kilda and a deal was struck hours before the video was aired.
Hawthorn made a late play for Carlisle during trade period with coach Alastair Clarkson flying into Florida to personally lobby for his services.
Collingwood ($7500) and Fremantle ($5000) were fined for similar breaches on Friday.
The Magpies had three players fail to provide up to date information. The Dockers had two.
The Bombers were one of four clubs fined $2500 early last month, along with Port Adelaide, Richmond and St Kilda.
A meeting between Carlisle, his manager and St Kilda chiefs will be held this week to discuss his contract.
Paris ouiiiiiiii 🇫🇷🇫🇷
