Ben Cousins ..Innocent Charges dropped !?

Question

A Friday lunch time news service announced that police will drop ALL charges against Ben Cousins by 9.00am Monday. Where does that now leave the dithering Eagles administration. THEY HAVE SHAFTED HIM WITHOUT HAVING ALL THE FACTS!

Do they reappoint him or do they have to apply to re draft him, and we call this game AUSSIE RULES......what a joke!

Answer 1

Well I haven't seen the report but if that's fact, then I'll eat some humble pie.  I think there might be some serious egg in a lot on other faces too.  What is the story then - first it's coke, then its some un-named 'illicit drug', then it's valium and viagra (valium is used in managing withdrawals but he should be over that), now what is it, three aspirin without a receipt??  Does the receipt turn up in the washing next week?

I think Molly has it right.  I think the thing is, Ben has to be cleaner than anyone now.  That might not be fair but that's the way it is.

It's a real pity though, what do we talk about next? :-)

Wundabot ... come back ... all is forgiven ... maybe ...

Answer 2

agreeed

Answer 3

He got the sack for breaching his contract and refusing a blood test and associating with people he shouldn't be.

No matter which way the Eagles went they wouldn't have got it right because people have already made up their minds to kick them when they are down a great Aussie trait.

Answer 4

He was my favourite player for many years and I see it sad to see such a great player fall from grace like this. This just shows how scabby the media can be and they just push it into one perspective to make Cuz look like the bad guy. He had those pills 4 a reason, hes qa freaking recovring drug addict. Give the bloke a break. West Coast have got it al wrong. He does not have to agree to a drug test on the spot withoust a court order, therefore he shouldn't have been arrested in the first place. I hope he gets picked up by another club (I liv in Perth by the way), preferrably a Melb club, because they would have much better facilties there.

Answer 5

Yeah they acted pretty quick didn't they. If I was cousins and I was getting myself clean, what a kick in the teeth. Also I  wouldn't want to play with that club anymore. Or at the very least ask for an extra million or two. Very UN-Australian to say the least. :-)

Answer 6

Andy paid the WA cops to drop the charges

Answer 7

If he is innocent then why is he going to rehab? Probably WC know a lot more facts than you or the police ever will.

Answer 8

*gulp*  That's an embarresment isn't it.  Media pretty much convinced everyone that Ben was guilty and led us all on a witch hunt - not the first time.

How awkward for WCE's - maybe it was just Diazapan and Viagra !!

Answer 9

yep, so true

Answer 10

he still violated his contract with the eagles by refusing a drug test
