Police have interviewed former Carlton Football Club president John Elliott over his claims the club had paid off several women who alleged they were raped by players.
Detectives spoke to Mr Elliott at his Melbourne office on Thursday morning.
"We can confirm police have spoken to John Elliott and he has provided some information," Acting Inspector Rob Ridley told reporters.
"It would be inappropriate to comment further as the investigation is ongoing."
Mr Elliott told a charity event in Hobart last week that the club paid about $A5000 ($NZ6308) in hush money to four or five women who claimed they were raped by Carlton players in the 1980s and '90s.
Mr Elliott admitted at the event the club was concerned one of the women was telling the truth.
A woman known as "Kate" told News Limited newspapers Mr Elliott was referring to her and claimed she had been raped at a party after Carlton lost the 1999 AFL grand final.
On Wednesday, Mr Elliott said he knew nothing about the alleged incident.
Inspector Ridley asked anyone with information about the allegations to come forward.
