Fremantle tagger Ryan Crowley's hearing into doping allegations has been pushed back to May 18.

Crowley was initially scheduled to front up to the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal this Friday.

But the date has been moved back after ASADA requested more time to respond to submissions made on behalf of Crowley.

Crowley is facing a ban of up to two years after failing a doping test last year.

It's believed the banned substance was contained in a painkiller that Crowley sourced from outside of the club.

The delay in the hearing means Crowley's earliest possible return will be the round-eight clash with North Melbourne on May 23.
