THE NRL career of Canterbury player Jacob Loko is all but over after he was arrested in possession of ecstasy alongside a man police will allege is a drug dealer.
A police spokeswoman said officers arrested Loko, 23, at The Star casino at 6am Saturday morning and allegedly found him carrying a small amount of MDMA.
He was spoken to by police but was released without being charged however the police investigation is continuing.
Another man, 22, was also arrested and charged with supplying ecstasy.
The 22-year-old was taken to Day Street Police Station and given police bail to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on October 21.
It is understood that Loko may still be charged and that police are still reviewing CCTV footage.
Bulldogs CEO Raelene Castle said “we are aware of an incident and we’re seeking further information”.
The NRL integrity unit have also been made aware of the incident.
The Bulldogs made the call last month not to resign Loko for next season.
Given his chequered past, it is to be seen whether any other club will take the risk on signing him.
In February he pleaded guilty to high range drink driving at Manly Local Court after returning a blood alcohol reading almost four times over the legal limit.
He was hit with a four match ban and fined $10,000 after getting into a drunken brawl with Manly winger George Taufua outside a Sydney bar in May.
