The Roosters and RLPA are angry after players were tested following unfounded claims they had taken party drugs the night before the match against Cronulla.
The NRL target tested four of the Roosters players falsely accused on social media of taking illicit substances the night before their Magic Round clash with Cronulla.Why is the NRL reacting to grossly inaccurate scuttlebutt on Twitter?
On Friday night, prop Terrell May live-streamed an event on a platform called Twitch alongside teammates Brandon Smith, Spencer Leniu, Zach Dockar-Clay, and Naufahu Whyte. I gave up on social media long ago. When the video made its way into the mainstream media, I checked it out .... It didn’t even show players in a mind-altered state. You didn’t have to be a DCM nightclub regular in the late 1990s to conclude they were as sober as Wayne Bennett at church on Sunday.
Imagine the club’s surprise, then, when NRL drug testers lobbed at training at Moore Park on Tuesday to target test four of the players in the video. In 2021, Smith and then Melbourne Storm teammates Cameron Munster and Chris Lewis were each suspended for one match and fined a total of $49,000 after a video emerged of the three players in a hotel room with a white substance on the table.
