Todd Carney & Steve Irwin under investigation?

[RABK]

Ray was on 2gb saying Todd Carney is under investigation by the police over an incident that occured last night. Suspended by the club indefinetly and the club will release a statement shortly.

In relation to a car accident apparently. No sources except 2GB yet.

Of course, Raaaaay wouldn't be one to sensationalize it, would he?

For the record, official source:

RAIDERS PLAYERS SUSPENDED

Canberra Raiders players Todd Carney and Steve Irwin have been suspended by the club, after being involved in a traffic incident in the ACT.

The incident occurred on Friday May 18, and the matter is now under investigation by ACT policing.

Both players will be unavailable for selection until the matter has been resolved.

Canberra Raiders CEO Simon Hawkins said the club would investigate the matter.

"The Raiders are working with ACT Policing and now need to let the investigation take its course," Hawkins said.

"Until this time both players have been suspended indefinitely and their future with the club will be determined at a later date."

The NRL has been informed about the incident.

Perhaps the thread title should include Irwin's name too ;-)

I'd imagine 99.9% of league fans care. Nothing private about breaking the law especially when you're a high profile sportsmen.

And no, no one will touch you let alone f**k you dead.

All that is mentioned is "traffic incident". High speed, DUI, or drugs you'd think would be involved for it to be this serious.

my thoughts too.. but no real point speculating, could be nothing.

It's what they call the "bulldog defence". After years of being embarassed by the shenanigans of their players, he now finds the best approach being to ignore any off-field indiscretions as "just part of the players private lives".

Wonder IF carney gets sacked if the Knights would be interested.

6. Carney
7. Mullen

What do you think Raider?

This could be our season and todd's career
if he was silly enough to have been behind that wheel, he is going to jail... im am hoping and praying he is an innocent passanger in the car. And is cleared of all wrong doing... but this could be very bad

Well I guess this makes it a little clearer:
