Broncos 'co-operating with police on sex claims' - CEO
UPDATE: THE Broncos have broken their silence on allegations three players were involved in a weekend sexual assault, admitting police were interviewing their players.
Broncos chief Bruno Cullen issued a statement late this afternoon saying the club had formed an internal investigation team as soon as they learned of an allegation that their players sexually assaulted a woman in a Valley nightspot on the weekend.
The Broncos investigation team would co-operate fully with police and "and collectively ensure all the relevant facts are recorded".
"I can confirm the players are also co-operating fully with the police and have presented themselves for interview this afternoon."
He said he had spoken to NRL CEO David Gallop today "and have assured him that we will keep him abreast of things at all times".
Mr Cullen said that at the moment "there are conflicting stories, some misrepresentation of the facts in the media, and generally wide and varied views in the public arena".
"I can understand that but will not engage in speculation only in the facts", the statement said.
Earlier today, it emerged that the Broncos scandal had thrown NRL premiership betting into turmoil .
Bookmakers across the country have suspended grand final betting and all betting involving the Broncos until police complete their investigations
after a woman made a complaint on Saturday night.
