The Senate wants the federal government to cough up a raft of documents and reports relating to the AFL and NRL doping saga.

The crossbench won upper house support to urge government to table several reviews conducted by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, dating back to 2009.

The motion - put forward by all eight crossbenchers - also calls for documentation specifically related to Gold Coast Suns footballer Nathan Bock and high performance manager Dean Robinson.
