MELBOURNE: Australian rugby league player Josh Addo-Carr will contest a social distancing sanction handed down by the National Rugby League for going camping at fellow international Latrell Mitchell's farm, his lawyer said on Wednesday.
"And we say that there are arguments available with regard to those two points that will indicate that he may not be guilty of breaching the COVID-19 legislation." Addo-Carr publicly apologised last month for the camping trip and said it had been organised to help a relative cope with a personal problem and reconnect with traditional Aboriginal culture.
The relatively light sanction given initially to Cleary, who is white, led to accusations of double-standards, prompting NRL Chief Executive Andrew Abdo to tell local media the difference in the fines had"nothing to do with culture or race"."Parity-wise, even if were guilty, Nathan Cleary was fined AUS$10,000," he said.
