It will be interesting to see what stance both the QRU and ARU take in response to this. Do they terminate his contract? As he was an AFL player at the time can he be charged with bringing the game (rugby) into disrepute?

Wouldnt be surprised if they blame the AFL system and claim that since coming to union he's stopped all that, cleaner sport and all.

Greedy SOB, $1 million a year was not enough.

Was a fan of his and thought he did remarkably well in the AFL system considering, but if found guilty I hope he cps the full force of the law.

There is up to 100 current and former players involved from League, Rugby and AFL. The police have supposedly been working on this for months and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Interesting and very nervous times ahead for the footy codes in this country.

So you're saying this investigation will grow and spread into other codes?

What is the timeline on this? Are the allegations recent or do they go back a couple of years ago?

Well we all know the biggest market for cocaine is lawyers and stockbrokers anyway.

Greg Bird & Dave Taylor named today.

Fame, worship, money, popularity and life on a platter obviously not enough for some...

Or maybe too much? idle hands make the Devils work, and access to all that money can't help.

Perhaps in some cases for sure. But this appears to be a syndicate operation and systematic trafficking. Can't wait to see who else they will name, they've got more names apparently and they're getting bigger names by the day.

Re: Karmichael Hunt charged with supplying cocaine

Cross-code football star Karmichael Hunt has been fined $2,500 but had no conviction recorded after pleading guilty to possessing cocaine.The magistrate, Catherine Pirie, said she had taken into account Hunt’s remorse, his early plea and character references, including one from his former coach Wayne Bennett.

Hunt’s lawyer said he had suffered “enormous economic loss” in the wake of his arrest on drug charges after being caught in phone taps as part of a Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) investigation.
