[Go Richo 12]

My sleeping tablets come in 375 ml bottles!

[TigerLand]

there is alot more to this , the truth may never come out
 

lmao@our conspiracy theorists again
if the drug tests prove he's clean, WGAF!

its not a conspiracy but sometimes the truth gets hidden , does anyone really know what the blood test results really were
the truth is the truth, whether it comes out or not is a different story, this is a very delicate situation

and this has nothing to do with jackstar

lets just say that sleeping tablets are not alway used to help one sleep

100% incorrect. 150% nothing will come of this.

[cub]

the inuendo on this thread is scurrilous and the proponents of them should be banned and posts deleted

Agree - Slander from mindless morons is not welcome or required.

Ch 10 news said "Richmond insiders" are saying Cuz is a 50/50 chance to play this week and some are expecting him to train at Thursday's main training session for the week.

Ben has a drug problem, he says he'll have it for the rest of his life
But for crying out loud, he's done every drug test - three times a week sometimes = and deserves the benefit of any doubt
And you're dealing with someone who really wants to come out the other end and lead a normal life, and we should be encouraging him, not giving him any cause to want to go back on them. Would you do it to your own kids? Maybe you would if you could big note yourselves  
I think sometimes ppl want to see him fail, so they come up with crap, can't shut their mouths and do a lot of damage to an individual
We bag the media, but when some of your own do this, you're no better IMO

Considering the tour de france has started, this reminds me of the lance armstrong witch hunts!

i support this club more than many of u , and ben cuz

im not saying anyting more and havent really said anything u r assuming many things

but dont u go questioning how much i support this club and and ben
u have no idea
 

We have enough innuendo from the media, opposition supporters. We don't need our so-called own doing the same. Until you have facts, STFU!

u stfu

i never rubbish the club or ben

but ben has only himself to blame, its time he took ownership of his issues rather than hiding it

he is the one who spent the night in hospital in a serious condition , not me not u, i support him 100% but this is not good

i just accept ben for what he is , an addict , not recovering, once an addict always an addict, just like with alcohol


so wtf would a doc give an addict sleeping pills is the real question

This has endless arguments of how horrible uneducated this post is.

[TigerTimeII]

nothing has been said so what do u want banned

actually there is something that's been posted a few posts back that I am having my legal eagle look at as I type

Depending on their response something may need to be edited

if u think i have said something out of line just delete it , im not trying to get anyone in deep poo, nor myself!

the truth about what has occured may never come out , i just hope ben keeps getting all th esupport he needs and isnt sacked over this

and about sleeping pills? why prescribe them to an addict?

some of u have said to help him sleep ffs , that is a lame excuse

sleeping pills are and addictive drug, so prescribing them to an addict is ridiculous

its like giving a paedophile a different child to be a play mate ffs

[one-eyed]

Ben first story on all the newses tonight.

The media is upset Ben didn't talk to them today. Ch 7 said "he's gone into hiding" and questioning his health because he avoided them  . Ch 10 said he's staying at a club official's house (while showing Benny Gale). I'm sure the journos would love everyone to know where they live because the media told the public where their house was  .

[tony_montana]

good to see there was nothing sinister involved and was in fact just an adverse reaction to the sleeping pill. Now i would like that hag caroline wilson to apologise for once again last night mentioning the drinking being involved, that bitch just won't let it go.

X before your next post please understand that Cousins was not prescribed any sleeping tablet by the club.

Caro on 3aw just now.....

* This is what happens when you pick up a high maintanence, reformed drug addict.

* This hasn't helped his chance of going on next year.

* I don't think you end up in hospital taking one sleeping tablet

* She stands by initially not wanting Richmond to pick Cousins up.

* Caro said his girlfriend told the club Ben had 3 glasses of wine.

If you dont wish to get  Cuz or yourself in deep poo then why use the paedaphile analogy? Its a bit sensationalists isn't it?

according to her rubbish sources..

why is this bitch still allowed to get away with saying she doesnt buy it when toxicology tests show there WAS NO ALCOHOL in his system. These parasites spew rubbish every week and never ever apologise for stories proven to be false. They should be made accountable ffs I am so over it.

Cousins demands AFL drug test
SCOTT SPITS AND ROBYN GRACE

Richmond football star Ben Cousins has been discharged from hospital after a visit from the club's doctor.

Ben Cousins's AFL playing future remains uncertain after the Richmond on-baller was discharged from hospital today after a severe reaction to a prescribed sleeping tablet.

And the Tigers say the 32-year-old is demanding a drug test from the AFL to show that illicit drugs were not involved in his hospital emergency yesterday.

Richmond released a statement this afternoon confirming that tests showed his condition was the result of an adverse reaction to prescription medication.

"Ben's condition improved significantly overnight and medical staff at the Epworth (hospital) saw fit to release him from hospital this afternoon," Richmond general manager of football Craig Cameron said today.

"The most important thing over the past 24 hours has been Ben's health and the club is pleased he is expected to make a full recovery. No decision has been made on his immediate playing future."

Toxicology tests for Cousins have reportedly given the AFL star the all-clear for consuming any alcohol in the aftermath of Richmond's stirring victory over the Sydney Swans at the MCG on Sunday.

Radio 3AW reported this afternoon results of Cousins' toxicology tests revealed the Tigers star had no alcohol in his blood system when he was rushed to hospital.

"Players are continually counselled on the correct use of prescribed medication and the club will continue to be vigilant to ensure players are well informed," Cameron said.

"Beyond this, Ben has requested he also be drug tested by the AFL to prove beyond doubt that illicit drugs were not involved."

3AW’s Sports Today host Gerard Healy said this afternoon Cousins had been "off the grog for a month".

An Epworth Hospital spokeswoman confirmed at midday the Richmond player had left the hospital and was not expected to speak to media, as had been rumoured.

Earlier, the hospital spokeswoman said the Richmond player was free to leave and he had told staff he wanted to go home.

Cousins was no longer being sedated, his condition was stable and he had spent a comfortable night in hospital, the spokeswoman said.

Cousins was taken to hospital yesterday morning and admitted to intensive care after he could not be roused.

His girlfriend contacted his AFL club Richmond when she could not wake the 32-year-old and, after he was examined by Richmond’s doctor, he was taken to the Epworth Hospital by ambulance.

Cousins is a recovering drug addict but Richmond has ruled out the latest incident as being related to his past.
