charges have been dropped maybe eagles went off early

They're not dropping the refusing a driving assessment charge are they?
latest rumour is they might be.

apparently he wasn't even driving.

lol.

Well it is Perth, great place for a re-make of the Keystone Cops :eek: ;D
 
Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

so when they pulled him over they couldnt identify who was driving....strange to say the least....

If thats true and he wasnt driving why should he give a blood sample.

Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

This is a truly interesting story this whole thing. Just amazing.

If the drug charges have been dropped and evo's rumour is true, then possibly, right now the WCE, the cops and the AFL are all sitting back going "Oh-oh." Meanwhile Cousins solicitor is going "Ching-ching."

Who knows. The story continues......

Dunno evo. I heard the lawyer interviewed on 774 an hour or two ago and he said the cops had informed him they were dropping the drug charge but they'd still be facing the other charge.
 
Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]


The wholething sounds like it could be just a storm in a tea cup.
If so WELCOME BENNY !

Heard that as well up here on 4LO ;) But if he wasn't driving, or it can't be proved he was.........??

Bit of a conflict of interest there don't you think.

No conflict...it was different times, the two have not coincided.
 
Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

This story is fascinating. More twists and turns than Bathurst and more potential outcomes and possibilities than you can imagine.
 
Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

Could a deal have been done to drop the possession charge or most serious charge so that he can get to the US for rehab - Visa would have been difficult otherwise?????
 
Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

Heh heh heh.

What a beauty this story is turning out to be. No wonder Cousins looks so smug all the time.

Teflon Benny - I like it. C'mon Tigers, just get him.

Yes ice is one of the most addictive drugs but it can be used on even a weekly basis without physical addiction. It may help performance if taken alone but people who take methamphetamines always combine with massive amounts of alcohol - without fail. The detrimental effects of alcohol & no food or sleep outweigh the positive of meth.

Professors who run drug clinics where people pay lots of money for treatment have a hip pocket interest.
I've worked in a drug rehabilitation field as well as casually used various drugs without physical or mental addiction for years. Don't believe everything you hear on Today Tonight, you probably couldn't even tell if your kids used it on the odd occasion.

Not sure what your point is here? Personally I'll always take a professional's word over a users due to the obvious conflict.
 
Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

Apparently going to be suing the WC and AFL...geez how messy is this getting....
 
Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

This is a confusing story that is unravelling. Apparently they have dropped the charges but as in this story they found the prohibitive drug oxycontin searching Bens Car

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22613344-661,00.html

So if thats a prohibitive drug - why were the charges dropped. Honestly i dont know whats going on over there but something stinks to high heaven.....
 
Re: Ben Cousins threads and Poll [Merged]

I havent read all this thread but any notion of getting Cousins in a draft is pure nonsense. He won't succeed (due to his spell at a clinic..how can you have a pre-season in the USA) and will probably create dis-harmony among the youngsters.

Steer clear.
