Latrell Mitchell Fined for Code Breach

Latrell Mitchell has been fined a total of $100,000 by the South Sydney Rabbitohs following a scandal involving a photo of him with a white substance, with $80,000 of the fine suspended. The NRL has imposed an additional $20,000 fine and a one-match suspension that will only be served when he is fit to play, which may extend into the next season due to his current injury. Mitchell has expressed remorse and commitment to making better decisions moving forward, emphasizing his desire to improve himself for his family and the team. The Rabbitohs' CEO, Blake Solly, stated that this is a challenging period for all involved, but he is hopeful it will be a turning point for Mitchell. The club will require him to participate in wellbeing programs as part of his rehabilitation process. The decisions made by both the NRL and the Rabbitohs reflect a broader concern about Mitchell's behavior and future in the sport.
