* 4 different substances found in his system. One an anti-anxiety medication. Ben became quite aggressive at hospital when he woke out of the coma and was then sedated. Unusual for someone to be in intensive care on day and discharged the next. Doctors didn't recommend it.

So much for medical records being private. Serious questions need to be asked on how this infomation was leaked to the press. A lawsuit on the hospital would be a good start.

Based on Barrett's past "stories" he most likely made it up  . Even if it's true, 4 substances could be anything and most likely harmless or trivial and we know they had to be legal. The toxicology report said there was no alcohol or illicit substances. The anti-anxiety medication could be prescribed as part of handling his post-drug life for all we know.

I agree Infamy it's a disgrace if this is true that private medical records were made public.

he should sue on any ground he can.

I didn't realise Barrett was a doctor at the Epworth treating Ben in the ICU .

He managed to fit in treating Ben between making Richmond's list management decisions.

Not to mention also working in pharmacology and as hospital security.

Appalling breach of confidence

The anti-anxiety medication would be Xanax, it can be used to assist sleep also.

Dogs.
No illegal drugs, so now they report on personal,legal usage of personally prescribed meds.
The first one to see either of them should pound them to within a centimetre of their ars-licking,police informant,jealous existence.

I think these reporters just make up poo and expect everyone to believe them.
I hope someone gets some personal info on Barrett and hutchy and let's us all know the skeletons they have in the closet.  

[tony_montana]

this is disgraceful, there has to be grounds for sueing if they are reporting his medical files FFS enough of these cowboys, time for them to be cut down to size

However, he has obviously given up his job of being Polak's neuro expert as he was last year. Mustn't be much fame in that

Barrett's spiel on Cuz tonight...

* No-doz? was once a banned substance in 2004. WADA reviewing it again. Some clubs have 50% of their players using caffeine tablets.

WADA have reviewed the stance on caffeine (not just No-Doze  ) every year since they removed it from the banned list and will do so again.

Just love the way these knobs tell only part of the story so as to distort things to suit themselves. They truly are maggots crawling about looking for carrion to feed on.

ive gotta stop reading/listening to these tossers. Too much pent up anger cant be good for me!!!!

Hutchy and mini-me continuing their private vendetta against Cousins  . I didn't realise Barrett was a doctor at the Epworth treating Ben in the ICU .

[TigerLand]

The club for the sake of its members and image should move on this.

Can't let personalities in the media continue to run the club and its players through the dirt like this.

We're as professional as we have ever been and it's not acceptable to just put up with it.
