Wayne Carey has surfaced amid controversy after a video showing him leaving a Melbourne wine bar toilet went viral last week.
The AFL legend took a very brief trip to Sydney, jetting in from Melbourne on Thursday and flying home again on Saturday.
The 54-year-old looked surprisingly relaxed and unbothered as he made his way through Sydney Airport, cracking a smile as he chatted on a mobile phone.
Carey was dressed warmly for the chilly winter weather in a short black jacket over a dress shirt and white tee.
He added a pair of casual blue jeans and brown books, while carrying a messenger bag over his shoulder.

The footballer wheeled along a small carry on case, which appeared to be the only luggage he took for the quick trip.
Carey was back at the airport by Saturday, checking in to his flight hone to Melbourne.
He had on largely the same outfit he'd worn days prior, changing to a black T-shirt from a white one, indicating he that he had packed light.
The sighting comes after the woman at the centre of a viral video with Carey has hit out at those who filmed her and revealed that she's suffered 'immense distress '.
Kate Aston, 38, a Melbourne marketing and communications executive, has described the dissemination of the clip as 'a deliberate act of bullying'.
Aston posted a lengthy statement to Instagram Stories on Thursday, revealing that she had initially chosen to remain silent to protect her professional reputation and her mental health, but has come forward to hold those who released the video to account - and set the record straight.
'Overnight, from footage of me simply exiting a toilet at a bar, I've had my life turned upside down,' she wrote.
'What has happened to me could happen to anyone, and no one should have to go through what I have been put through – the damage, the speculation, the impact on my livelihood, all from the malicious actions of a small few.'
Aston says that she fears the impact the video will have on her future, her career - and even her personal relationships.
'At a time when I am navigating my next career move and visibility matters, the personal and professional toll has been immense,' she said.
'Who would want to employ me, date me, be associated with me? What's left now that this has all happened to me?'
The executive indicated she would be taking legal action over the matter.
'Whilst it's only been a matter of days since this incident unfolded, there has been immeasurable damage to my reputation, and my ability to lead a normal life has been adversely affected,' she said.
'These women and others who've provided hateful commentary have put into jeopardy my reputation, and so I've been left with no choice but to try to protect it.
'Two women not known to me have turned my life upside down and I have to set the record straight.'
On Wednesday, footy great Wayne had confessed that he is the man shown in a viral video that allegedly featured a man and woman emerging from a bathroom in a trendy Melbourne bar.
The North Melbourne premiership winner said he has contacted Victoria Police in an effort to have the people who filmed and distributed the video held accountable for their actions.
The footage, which was taken at the Toorak Cellars bar in Armadale in the city's inner south-east, shows Carey and the unnamed woman walking into view around 20 seconds apart.
A female voice is heard saying 'we've got you on camera' as the woman walks past, before asking 'What's he doing in there?' and remarking, 'She looks embarrassed.'
Carey and the woman depicted in the clip have lashed out over the video, with the ex-AFL star branding it 's**t shaming' and cyberbullying, and both parties insisting there was no 'tryst' in the toilets.
'Annoyed is the wrong word, I've gone through about 10 different emotions in the last three days,' he said on Sam Newman's You Cannot Be Serious podcast.
'I've gone through disbelief, sadness, I've gone through anger.
'This woman has been thrown into this just because I could kick a footy.
'And you've got two vile, disturbing, probably p**sed women who want to do this to another woman.'
