Melbourne Storm alleged incident

The NRL has been made aware of a video on social media that allegedly shows Melbourne Storm players in a room where there is a white substance on a table.

Nine journalist Danny Weidler tweeted, "(it's) too early to say investigation launched", but the integrity unit has been notified.

"Having seen the video it's not a great look," Weidler said.

"Another concern is they have been betrayed by people in the room with them."

News Corp reports the video shows two Storm players in a room which has at least six people in it, including the person filming.

The Storm were bundled out of the premiership race on Saturday in a 10-6 loss to Penrith.

if cocaine stimulates the heart could you call it performance enhancing?

Christ, people finding them guilty based on some grainy, low-res, video...

Positive drug test or f**k off.

Enough is enough; time for harsher punishments.

Force anyone caught doing anything wrong this off-season to watch a full replay of the Dally M ceremony….

Or every NRL360 episode back to back since it started

Positive drug test or f**k off.

That’s the point I’m making.
If they did it on the weekend, they will be caught out.

Bromwich, Proctor, allegedly Smith & Munster. A pattern is starting to emerge.

Maybe it was some left over dishwashing powder
Might have been giving one of their trophies a wash

Christ...who gives a f**k....all drugs should be legalised (and then regulated) anyway.

The only banned drugs for sportsmen should be performance enhancing ones.

It is considered performance enhancing if you take it before playing. Used to be pretty common in the NFL.

Yep, because only good things can happen with half the population off thier face on drugs ( face slapping emoji )

In the past the NRL has given players a slap on the wrist for the same offence. They'll get a fine and a 1 game suspension.

 

[Dogs Of War]

Let's not pretend players in every code don't do this.

Where has this video come from? I know this is not the crux of the issue, but who's the goose who presumably is entrusted to this group of players given they're in the room, videos them ALLEGEDLY doing drugs (because yeah, it could be talcum powder right) and then distributes it?

Thats the thing. If you are going to do something like this. You must know that phones are to be banned from filming. You just never know where it's going to end up.

That’s a human rights violation. Nobody deserves that.
