Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation

[El Diablo]

Steve Lyons thinks another

 

[Johns Magic]

That'll probably be it...he got asked if it was an NRL or AFL player and he replied "league". So don't expect a first-grader.

Weedlers story a total fizzer

AUSTRALIA'S sports scandal has claimed its first victim, with NSWRL boss Geoff Carr tonight confirming that a player has been stood-down following an allegation of illicit drug use. News Limited has learned the player's club was supplied with information by a third party and has not recorded a positive test.
It's also understood the player is not a big name, having spent the majority of his senior career in NSW Cup.
"There’s been an allegation and the club has been cautious and stood the player down," Carr said.
"There has been no positive test."
Carr declined to name the player or the club concerned.

NRL News ‏@nospam09 #NRL Weidler: Curtis Johnston the player named to have taken drugs. Texts obtained by Nine show him boasting about his use of drugs.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Curtis Johnson?
Who the f*ck is that???

My God!
This 'story' is turning into the most worthless, pointless, over-hyped news story in history

 

[Pistol_Pete]

Obtained by 9. With a warrant I presume ??

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Flo on 9 saying he's been tested a number of times too.

Don't even think he's played first grade, at least not for Souths.

 

[Parra]

f**king joke.

More proof that the idiots in Canberra have no idea what they are takling about.

Why would anyone monitor what Curtis Johnston is up to?

 

[Spot On]

Oh dear.

Curtis Johnson.




















Who?

 

[herbert henry1908]

So players are being stood down on acccusations only?

Nice precedent that.

The hysteria knows no bounds.

 

[BuffaloRules]

The " evidence" against him is text messages he himself sent.

 

[elbusto]

South Sydney

 

[Spot On]

Guilty till proven innocent hey.


Does that mean an NRL team, who is scheduled to play NQLD, can dob J.Thurston in for "suspected" illicit drug use and have him stood down before they play??

 

[wittyfan]

Curtis just oozes Russian hotness!!!

 

[Frenzy.]

If you piss on your phone while sending a text does that make for a positive test?

 

[Clarke]

If JT was sending text messages of the nature Curtis was, then yes.

Even if he is innocent he should be stood down for stupidity. He even mentioned the word "peptides" in the text message.

 

[tumbidragon]

It's not like the NRL to hang some1 before they have been found guilty...

 

[Canard]

Nothing to do with the NRL its not even certain this related to the ACC report.
