BRISBANE senior coach Michael Voss says the Lions have nothing to fear from the wide-ranging probe into drugs and organised crime in Australian sport.

But he has urged investigators and the AFL to name names as soon as possible to clear the ``cloud'' hanging over the code.

Speaking at a jumper presentation at the Gallipoli Army Barracks today, Voss backed his players and support staff to be operating inside the law and welcomed the "watershed moment'' for the sports industry that has been rocked by the explosive ACC findings.

He said the issues of drugs and organised crime had always been ''in the back of the mind'' but was confident that all the practices and processes at the Gabba were above board.

"I think everyone is looking forward to that moment (when names are named)...because until that actually happens I guess everyone is implicated,'' Voss said.

"We are just at a point where that cloud is hanging over the whole code.

"The response from the AFL has been quite swift. There's a lot of actions that have come out of the back of it (Thursday's announcement).

"I'm looking forward to that moment when we can go about our business.

"I trust the people that we've got in place and I trust our program...I think they do an exceptional job. I think our players are well and truly communicated with as well.''

Voss said the club had met with the players after Thursday's ACC press conference in Canberra.

"(We) reinforced the exact same message we've said to them a number of times. If you are unsure about anything, everything has to be passed through the doctors,'' he said.

"That's part of our protocol. That's been around for a long time. It will continue to be so.

"That's just paramount. It must happen. If you are putting anything into your mouth, you are responsible for it.''

Voss said he was "not concerned at all" about the very "limited involvement'' the club had with controversial sports scientist Steve Dank in 2009.

He also dismissed a question about whether or not the club was worried about the involvement assistant coach Shane Woewodin had with convicted drug trafficker Shane Charter in 2000 when Woewodin won the Brownlow Medal.

"No. It's a silly question,'' Voss said.
