Josh Addo-Carr’s drugs drama has been dealt with from a police perspective. Now it is up to the NRL and the Bulldogs to decide their next steps.
Canterbury winger Josh Addo-Carr maintains he didn’t knowingly take a prohibited drug, but has accepted a police infringement notice to spare his club and family adverse publicity, according to his lawyer.
“This matter has had a dramatic impact on Josh and his family. It has also been a distraction from a significant game for his beloved Bulldogs. Despite the fact that Josh maintains he has never knowingly ingested any illegal drugs, he has decided to pay the infringement and bring this matter to an end legally.
“Josh has left training to be with his manager, Mario Tartak. The club is offering Josh appropriate support during this difficult period. The Bulldogs are committed to following the appropriate protocols with regards to the player’s contract and CBA and will work with the NRL Integrity unit, the player and his management team accordingly throughout further investigations.“While we treat this issue with utmost seriousness, Josh’s welfare is our highest priority at this time.
“The driver – a 29-year-old man – was subjected to a roadside breath test which returned a negative result. The driver underwent a preliminary drug wipe, which allegedly returned a positive indication.
