I don't think major sponsors will pull out of either AFL or NRL - they sponsor those sports because they are the biggest by far over here. Would you see a lot of major sponsors dropping the Premier League if a drug scandal started to develop? I doubt it, unless the problem led to half the players in the league being banned.
Surely they'll be in a position to at the very least renegotiate their deals though. They've paid a huge amount of money to be associated with a sport that is now associated with drugs and organised crime.
