NRL 2020: Brent Naden tests positive to cocaine, grand final, Panthers vs Storm | Fox Sports

So many questions...

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

So he is the only one? Seems legit

 

[myrrh ken]

That's one way to make room in the Smugther's cap

 

[LineBall]

Wonder if this has anything to do with him being dropped to the bench for the game?

This is going to be interesting.

 

[Quicksilver]

Nanny state

 

[dogslife]

Rookie. Uppers are for celebrating.

What did he have to celebrate?

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Cocaine stays in the system for a day or two...

So for this to come out of a test on the night of the GF... just wow..

What is the timeline on this, test straight after game?

Despite it not being recognised as a performance enhancer it is on the WADA banned list. Might be a good thing the refs couldn’t get the panthers home or 2020 could have ended with a stripped premiership!

At least Barba won a premiership the night he got on it

Player has known links with Cronulla - sharing his christian name with former "NRL Star" , Sharks player Brent Grose...

 

[simmo05]

It's fine if they tested immediately after the game, but a low act if they tested in the days after the game

 

[seanoff]

If it’s an ingame test . He’s in for quite the holiday.

18 to 24 months.

 

[soc123_au]

Not his go......

Sadly It’s hardly even newsworthy anymore if a sharks player tests positive.

Yeah I don't think so.

1997 was allowed to stand.

Another set back for Riff but Ivan will take it on the chin....and there is room for plenty more set backs

 

[Jim Rockford]

Never change Penriff, keep the bogan spirit alive and well.

Maybe in a parallel universe...
