FORMER AFL coach Gary Ayres has called for more random drug target testing within state leagues including the VFL.

The Port Melbourne premiership coach, who has helped produce several AFL recruits in recent seasons, said it had been a rare occurrence for his players to be target tested for illicit drugs.

He said he stressed to his part-time players to be aware of any banned substances.

AFL Victoria said it liaised regularly with ASADA to comply with its requirements - but Ayres feared some state league players could get away with taking illicit and banned substances because they were part-time.
