- Winger allegedly returned positive roadside test on Friday night
- Addo-Carr ‘believes he is completely innocent’, says coach Phil Gould
The build-up to the NRL’s finals series has been overshadowed by the fallout from a roadside drug test for high-profile Canterbury player Josh Addo-Carr, which has prompted the winger to stand himself down from Sunday’s elimination final against Manly.
After some confusion in the media over the results of the test, Addo-Carr’s lawyer confirmed on Tuesday an initial sample returned a positive result, and a second sample has been sent away for testing by police. Addo-Carr has maintained he has not taken any drugs.
