Latrell Mitchell has learnt his fate as both the NRL and the South Sydney Rabbitohs handed down their respective punishments for the controversial white powder photo which circulated on social media earlier this year.
Latrell Mitchell has been handed a one-match ban and faces fines of up to $120,000 after being pictured in the presence of white powder.The NRL has confirmed that Mitchell, who is currently sidelined with a foot injury, will only be allowed to serve his ban while fully healthy. Latrell Mitchell 's white-powder saga could cost him as much as $120,000 in fines after the NRL and South Sydney finalised their sanctions for the superstar fullback.
Mitchell will pay $20,000 in NRL-imposed fines and $20,000 up-front to the Rabbitohs, with an additional suspended $80,000 fine to be triggered if he reoffends. Mitchell admitted on Tuesday he had made "poor decisions" while sidelined with a season-ending foot injury, having fronted the Rabbitohs' board to explain himself earlier that day."This has been a very challenging time for everyone at South Sydney, including staff and management, coaches, players, members, supporters and Latrell himself," Solly said.
The timing of the one-match suspension mandated by the NRL's breach notice has been a sticking point in recent days.
