Swans players Riley Bice, Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, James Jordon and Chad Warner will not be considered for selection again this year.
"The AFL is supportive of the club's sanctions," a Swans statement read.
"We respect there is an ongoing investigation by Victoria Police and the actions we have taken today are independent of this."
It comes after AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon on Tuesday released a statement calling for more respect around the sexual assault allegations.
A police investigation into alleged sexual assault allegations at East Melbourne's Pullman Hotel early Monday is continuing.Â
