Naden tests positive to cocaine.

Straight from the Roosters handbook

This may work against us signing Burton now.
Naden will stay on Penrith's books until the ASADA case is closed, e.g. Xerri.
If Penrith promote May to centre, Burton becomes the utility.

Naden has already admitted the drug use, did it before the results of the sample came back and has already completed a recognised rehabilitation program. No need to wait for the B sample results. The "usual" suspension for NRL player using recreational drugs is 2 years (eg; Kenworthy and WSailor), but having owned up and done the program there is provision for it to only be 1 year, with 1 year suspended. Plus he can claim that the racial abuse he was subjected to pushed him into the drug use, he may even get off with less..

Very different to Xerri as it was performance enhancing drugs, multiple serious performance enhancing drugs, which is a 4 year suspension and he didn't own up before hand and as far as I know has not done any rehabilitation or training programs. He's farked.

the other problem is being in the bubble, how did he get it? im only assuming here, but i reckon penrith knew and thats why may played in front of him.

 

[dogsballs]

If that means they hang on to Burton as utility then I guess the only upside then is at least he will get more first grade experience.

 

[Cook]

Is there a reasoning for doing so?

Not sure it’s just a company policy. They can say whatever they want for reasoning. It’s instant dismissal also for anyone caught breaching the guidelines. That’s alcohol and drug testing.

"Panthers season set to implode" is this the story?

Heard it’s a 3 month suspension at most

Obviously different cases to Xerri, however the way Xerri has dragged out the b-sample testing, going to a hearing / tribunal combined with ASADA's knuckle dragging has ensured that Xerri's portion of the salary cap has been included all year.
If Naden was going to get a couple of years, which is likely, with one year remaining on his contract he'd be silly to not drag it out and get paid.

Madone. I thought it said Nasheed tested postive for cocaine, but then I realised Nasheed is a ICE man. Where is my little Lebanese friend by the way ?

Why are players tested for these types of drugs anyway? It's not performance enhancing, and its not a safety issue (they aren't operating heavy machinery).

How many of us are drug tested in our jobs (outside, say, mining and transport jobs)?

I work in an office and I am subjected to Alcohol and Drug testing, the justification is reputational risk to the organisation. If I'm not happy I can find a job elsewhere, and if I refuse to be tested it is treated the same as a positive result.

More an issue of criminal activity ‘infiltrating’ professional sport. If players are able to get their hands on recreational/ illicit drugs then their personal lives and who they interact with come under the microscope. It’s all about keeping a clean image in pro sports. Learnt about it during one of my classes for my postgrad. More to it but that’s kind of the jist of it.

 

[Berries]

Keep testing them for performing enhancing but leave them alone for party drugs for two weeks fuck

 

[Berries]

Also he went and asked for help straight after this test. Knew he was gone

 

[doggieaaron]

Ive heard a rumour he allegedly trashed a house in Penrith as well may come out soon

 

[blueyedsamurai]

Cronulla Sharks have made inquiries about signing him after hearing the news.

 

[sideswip]

I like the way its being portrayed by Penrith in there statement, "recreational drug", Its also an Illegal drug

 

[Baby Blues]

What’s crazy is that you can legally be doped up on opioids and that’s ‘fine’ but recreational drug use kills your career.

Yeah this is a bit sus. How does only one player get busted when obviously more where snorting their asses off?
