Can Anyone Spell "Bullshit" ... [news story]
 

I have had the displeasure of spending some time with this moron - great football (rugby league) player he may be, but DEFINITELY lucky he only had one pill on him when this went down

League star Andrew Johns arrested for ecstasy


AUSTRALIAN rugby league great Andrew Johns has confirmed he was issued with a caution for possession of an ecstasy tablet in London last Sunday.

Johns was arrested but not charged by British transport police, who apparently were conducting a routine search at underground railway stations following the annual Notting Hill Carnival, a statement from Johns' management The Fordham Company said.

"Following an interview with police he was told the misdemeanour did not warrant being charged and instead was given an official caution," the statement said.

"Johns said today he recalled an unknown person pushing a tablet into his jeans at a crowded entertainment venue last Sunday - his last day in the United Kingdom following a six weeks overseas holiday."

It is believed Johns had been to The Church, an all-day club at Kentish Town that is popular with some expatriates.

In the statement, Johns said: "I was having such a good time, seeing it was the last day before I flew home.

"I stupidly forget about the tablet and instead of getting rid of it I left myself in a situation I soon deeply regretted.

"I have been a very foolish person and realise I have brought great disappointment to my family, friends and many people, including lots of youngsters who have looked up to me over the years. It has left a black mark on my reputation which I will work very hard at erasing".

Johns was one of 206 people arrested for drugs possession in London over the British holiday weekend.

A British Transport Police spokeswoman said late last night: "A man in his 30s was arrested and cautioned for possession of an ecstasy tablet following a routine police operation at King's Cross underground station at 4.20pm on Sunday, 26th of August."

Johns, who was forced out of the game in April by a recurring neck injury, has been holidaying in Europe and the UK.

He and injured Brisbane Broncos skipper Darren Lockyer were guests at the Challenge Cup final between St Helens and Catalans at Wembley Stadium the day before his arrest.

He had been in London for a few weeks and had accepted an invitation by former Newcastle Knights player Billy Peden to pass on his tactical and kicking knowledge at the Harlequins Rugby League Club.

Johns has also been working with the Wallabies ahead of the World Cup.

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

his story about someone pushing the pill into his pants makes perfect sense, it happens all the time to people who get busted with drugs

Holy shit, one e pill? CALL IN SWAT! STAT!!!

He's a legend of the game, hardly a moron. I'm not a huge rugby fan, but have always thought that he has done a hell of alot for the game especially in Newcastle.

Having said that, he is a fool for having the tablet on him. I wonder if this will cause him any problems with getting coaching/mentor roles for the Knights?

he is one of the best footballers in the world!!! and is the best in Australia.
it shits me so much that famous sports stars do this shit.....

they get paid enough, they need to be a role model not a fuck head!!!
