Desperate to save his Canterbury career, Addo-Carr said he would walk away from the entourage of hangers-on surrounding him.
The short walk from Belmore Sports Ground to the eateries on Burwood Road can take Josh Addo-Carr an eternity.
premiership-winning winger unsuccessfully pleaded his case not to have his $500,000-per-annum Canterbury contract torn up. Tabchouri told the board there was confusion around the testing process, given Addo-Carr was permitted to drive away after police at the scene were called to attend an urgent home invasion in nearby Lidcombe before he could provide a second drug swipe. The lawyer also said there was no legal recourse to fight a charge relating to an oral-fluid result. Addo-Carr accepted a $682 fine and a three-month suspension from driving following the incident.
However, Canterbury, who in explaining their decision spoke about “the importance of building a culture based on clear standards and values”, felt there was no other course of action.
