Luke Sayers has resigned as Carlton president despite an Australian Football League (AFL) investigation finding his X account was hacked and he was not responsible for posting a lewd image. The incident, which occurred on January 8, triggered public scrutiny and led to Sayers’ decision to step down, citing the impact on his family, colleagues, and the club.
“I deeply regret that many other people, including my family, friends, and colleagues, have been caught up in this matter,” Sayers said in a statement. "This decision draws a line in the sand."
