BEN COUSINS [merged]

[tiga]

Question: Would the AFL have suspended Cousins for 12 months if West Coast took no action against him like some other clubs and their players which WP pointed out earlier? What ever happened to the 3 chance policy?? Is that only related to positive drug tests? So therefore, by that rationale, Ben would have been better off if he had tested positive for Cocaine in a random drug test. The AFL is totally screwed.

that is exactly right tiga.

he would've been better off testing positive.

how ridiclulous does that sound.

test positive and u can play...dont test positive and u cant.

they r fools

He's a self confessed drug addict.
It's gone well beyond 'testing positive'.

[Francois Jackson]

im just merely pointing out how pathetic the AFL are on this topic and on any topic to be honest

Thank god for ACA. Means I won't have to do it, now that's a weight off my mind. I was really worried I might miss a few seconds of his really fascinating life. ACA has go to be the BEST show I have ever seen. Hard hitting reporting on the really important issues.

(Sorry woken up all sarcastic.)

Ben Cousins at schoolies = the ultimate toolie.  Some people just don't learn.  Maybe he was meant to catch up with Olympic rower Nathan Baggaley and help distribute all those ecstasy tablets.

[Mr Magic]

He's finished as a footballer. Move on.

Cousins still wants to return to AFL footy in 2009  .

AT the end of a harrowing year, Ben Cousins has flown back to Perth with a special Christmas message: "I hope you get run over by a f...ing car."

Looking strong and fit, Cousins has been training daily in Sydney to leave the door open for a return to the AFL in 2009.

Time to leave the guy alone now and let him try to get his stuff together. Would be hard enough to get your life back on track without the added media pressure. I don't know how he is going to do it but if he does he will prove himself as an extremely strong individual.

I hope if the family man photographer's kids get themselves into a bit of trouble that they get a bit more of a break than this clown has shown Cousins. I'm sure he did nothing to deserve a spray, an absolute saint I'm sure.  <-- I hate this smiley but in this case i think it's appropriate.

Cousins to go public on drug use
Jacquelin Magnay | February 5, 2008

DISGRACED West Coast Eagles star Ben Cousins is preparing to break his silence on his drug-taking, and he'll do it alongside a friend, boxer Anthony Mundine.

Mundine, known for loud talk but abstinence from alcohol and drugs, is hosting the World Boxing Association annual bout "KO Against Drugs" in three weeks' time. An announcement publicising details of the fight will be made tomorrow.

Cousins, 29, has agreed to sit on a panel at the boxing announcement with Mundine, runner Nova Peris and rugby league player Sonny Bill Williams and discuss the issue of drugs.

It will be the first time Cousins has answered questions about his drug use, which came to public notice in March 2007 when he was suspended by West Coast for missing training sessions.

It is expected Cousins will reveal how he has been progressing in his rehabilitation, the extent of his drug taking and the detrimental effects of drugs on his life and health.

Apparently Cousins is going to announce he's entering rehab again but this time sponsored by the boxing industry instead of two blondes from California.

And with Mike Tyson as his mentor!  Should help balance him out nicely.
