Keogh sanction

[Frenzy.]

For those with statements about his age and he shouldn't be doing this I will address this issue.
Age has nothing to do with drug use.
Recreational drugs can be loads of fun, doesn't matter what your age is.
Addiction is the problem.
Most people I know that have become addicted to them are addictive about everything, they are born with it.
Having a bit of coke, or a scoob, here or there is not addictive, it's just a bit of casual fun.
A great deal of older people are addicted to legal drugs but no-one seems to mind because they are old and apparently its ok if it comforts them.
Any addiction can be harmful.

I have a friend, she is 67, she is still very active in going out, seeing bands and having a great social life.
She works in a very hard job and handles it admirably.
The other week we were going out to see a band and we had a few drinks at home beforehand. She walked over from her house, a suburb away. She gets there and says she didnt realise it was that far and how it took her nearly an hour. I was pretty impressed as I wouldn't have done it, she then says "it didnt help that I'd just dropped a quart"
I said "A quart of what?"
"Acid" was her reply
My jaw dropped and I started to laugh when she says, "mind if I light up a joint?"
"Go ahead, you've made my day!"

I do agree on the perspective that Keogh should have been more wiser, after all he gained entry to the club after our drug scandal. Not to mention that the Barba situation is still relatively fresh.

Yep. Now for the scare.

One of the growing consorts of RDU, particularly stimulants, are doctors. Surgeons! Starts as needing help with the ridiculously long hours they do and can end in addiction.

Drugs are everywhere and it's not just the "junkies" affected. It's simply the traditional junkie doesn't have the personality, resources or intelligence to hide it.

Be scared. When you go for ya bypass every chance your surgeon is high as a kite

Nup I'm earlier than him, when men were men, and so were some of the women.

So did you watch the Jillaroos and the Kiwi fings.

[bad boy bubby]

I'm going to clutch at the shortest straw here and say I've found a positive. ...
There has been hardly a mention that Keogh is the President and CEO of Hoyts
The Sharks must be a stronger brand....

 

[Pig Champion]

Jesus, the team was so looking forward to those head phones.

 

[Quigs]

Was it 14 or 16 headphones Pig The C. If so who would of missed out. I'd say Beale, but I have no idea who else would miss the pressies.

What a stitch up. The pub gets the cctv footage out the next day. The camera follows him . The cops pick him out straight away. Obviously an operation

 

[spirit of league]

When will people learn nothing good comes out of using drugs.

Not that I indulge (these days) and Keogh is a mug considering he's aware of the ramifications, but... Alcohol is a drug. Nicotine is a drug. Caffeine is a drug.

And sports betting arguably has more significant negative social outcomes.

Just sayin'

[Card Shark]

What is worse.....doing drugs as a chairman & getting caught or telling some dickhead journalist that your players took something with a weird label about being for equine use on it?

 

[Generalzod]

How do we know really the stash was his?

All very true Spirit.

Excessive drinking long term is just as bad as taking drugs.

Excessive gambling for any amount of time is bad.

However I think those two things generally done in moderation and sensibly are not bad.

The thing is many can argue that in most cases they are not approached that way.

Addictions generally are not good.

Many can argue that drug taking in moderation is not an issue. But drugs generally aren't that way designed. They are designed that you do get addicted and dependant and it is a very expensive addiction that leads to a habit that more often than not is not sustainable long term.

None of them are iliegal SOL.

IT had been a long day for Cronulla Sharks chairman Damian Keogh on his favourite restaurant strip.

Just hours before standing down from the NRL club on Friday night, Keogh had lunch with three acquaintances at a Kingsleys Australian Steakhouse on the Woolloomooloo Wharf frequented by Sydney’s rich and famous.

As CEO of cinema company Hoyts and a multi-millionaire, he often dined there with his business connections.

On Friday evening he chose to have more drinks at the nearby Tilbury Hotel and then the Bells Hotel.

Shortly before 8pm five police officers did a routine walk through the pub with drug dogs. Keogh, according to police sources, was spotted acting suspiciously.

Damien Keogh has been credited with saving the Sharks from near bankruptcy.
He was searched and officers allegedly found a small plastic resealable bag of a substance believed to be cocaine.

He was charged with possessing a prohibited drug and issued with a future court attendance notice to appear at Downing Centre Local Court in June.

Later that night, Keogh informed Cronulla Sharks directors he would stand down immediately. He said yesterday he could not comment “for legal reasons”.

Keogh is credited with saving the Sharks from near bankruptcy three years ago, fighting back to win last year’s NRL premiership. To ease the club’s cash flow problems he even tipped in $1.5 million of his own money.

Lyall Gorman addresses the media following news of Damian Keogh’s drugs charge.
He is highly respected across the game and was recently appointed by the Sydney clubs to head negotiations with out-of-town clubs to get a united position on future funding from the NRL.

Keogh is a father of four and had to break the news to his family on Saturday. He likes a good time and plays in a band Shake N Bake at venues in the Sutherland Shire.

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said he was disappointed because “he’s done such a good job for the club”. He denied there was a widespread cocaine problem in the game.

“All of society is involved in a battle with illicit drugs,” Greenberg said. “We’ve done a huge amount of work across drug education. I don’t subscribe to talk there is a huge problem in rugby league.”

Sharks CEO Lyall Gorman said: “It’s a very disappointing day for our club. It’s one we’re trying to work through as a club and right now we’re giving Damian the time to address the allegations.”
