Crowley fronted the AFL anti-doping tribunal on Monday after testing positive to banned substance following the Dockers’ round 17 clash against Greater Western Sydney last season.
The West Australian reports that methadone is the substance threatening the ruin the career of the 31-year-old tagger.
Methadone is a substance commonly used to reduce withdrawal symptoms for people addicted to heroin or other narcotics.
If found guilty of taking the substance, Crowley faces a standard two-year ban as specified by ASADA.
Crowley has been provisionally suspended since September last year, but will have to wait several more weeks to find out his fate after the tribunal chose to reserve its decision.
The Dockers have shown no signs of missing Crowley, shooting out of the blocks in 2015 to win their opening seven matches.
Fremantle faces the ninth-placed North Melbourne at Domain Stadium on Saturday.
