Josh Addo-Carr Alleged Positive Drug Test Under Review

Josh Addo-Carr, a star winger for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, allegedly returned a positive roadside drug test for cocaine, but was allowed to drive away due to police being called to an urgent incident. NSW Police confirmed the initial positive result but noted that a second test was not conducted, and further analysis of the fluid sample is pending. Despite the positive test, Bulldogs boss Phil Gould publicly refuted the allegations, claiming the test was negative. The incident occurred just days before the Bulldogs' elimination final against Manly, leading to potential disciplinary action against Addo-Carr. The NRL is aware of the situation and is in communication with the club. Addo-Carr has not been charged as the results await confirmation from lab tests.
