Sadly its not improving, became a dad recently didnt he?

I was hoping that might have helped him and give him another direction in life.

With all this happening i have one question how did he stay off it for 2 years at the tigers?

It's a huge task for him to stay off them but maybe the routine of football at the Tigers, the support structure around him and the focus by the AFL and the media etc contributed to a more healthier Cousins.

I guess this is a an ongoing work in progress for him and that he will slip up from time to time for a long while yet. It must be heartbreaking for his family.

From what I just read somewhere it seems it was an amount enough to be charged with importing and selling, not just his own use.

With him being all over the papers for near on 2 years about his addiction you imagine the last place he would have drugs would be at an airport.

The amount of a drug a seasoned addict would use would be the equivalent of what would normally be considered a trafficable quantity.

Anyway lets stick to the Cousins aspect of this story.

Well this time they have gone the trafficking charge it seems.

If he has been charged with trafficking it would be based on more than just the quantity located.

Because he didn’t

Sad. Ice etc is just a blight on humanity.

Just so sad the guy is so messed up. Let's not forget, he's also someone's brother, son and now, father.

So true Andrew - I think if you ask most addicts (be it drugs/alcohol) they would tell you they don't really wanted to be addicted! Incredibly sad now that he has a little one!

[SlimPickens]

Just a horrible situation for Ben and family. The guy clearly needs help and the appropriate support structure around him.

Hopefully he is back in rehab before he is due in court.

Stashed in his rectum on the way to a rehab centre. Seems he was undermining himself in a big way.

[Murphy'sLore]

So sad. Everyone wanted this story to have a happy ending - I guess that's still possible, it just seems a whole lot further away now.

Wasn't he on the way to rehab when he was caught this time? Which suggests he hasn't been taking it as seriously as he should be (to put it mildly).
