Official: Knights sign Shaun Kenny-Dowall

The "excuse" that he was holding for a mate (Carter) who snuck out the back door still holds water. This doesn't disprove anything.

SKD provided a hair follicle test which showed he hadn't used drugs in x amount of months (at least). As far as I know, that's the best way to test someone's drug history and he passed with flying colours.

Yes, Carter got done for supplying coke to SKD. How exactly does that disparage the rumour? The rumour was SKD was holding for Carter who couldn't afford to get done. Instead of being done for possession, he was done for supply as the exchange was caught on CCTV footage. If anything, it solidifies the rumour as SKD tested clean and we find out the drugs were indeed from Carter.

BArgearse , for my money the only thing SKD is guilty of is Misguided Loyalty and perhaps Stupidity.

The "hair follicle test" was conclusive that SKD had not done drugs.

Carter is now a known grub who was also recently involved with the Fergo affair last week ( story goes Fergo asked Carter to leave when he became obnoxious, Carter left then rang the cops and reported a drug issue just to be a pest- some piece of work ).

The fact that SKD was "holding" only means that he held some loyalty for a past team mate and does not lower his character from my perspective.
 
The only doctors who can prescribe cocaine these days are ear nose and throat specialists for use in the nose .

Billy, my family doctor once wanted to prescribe it to me for "Whooping Cough" but it meant I would meet a whole new group of friends lining up for the " Methadone program", so I past and went for an alternative solution - my conscientious decision.
 
The mates who provide the worst influences are often the most fun to hang out with, it's tough living in the public eye.

But if it comes down to a choice between a successful career (especially post-footy) and a mate who I'm always getting in trouble with, it's an easy decision.

Staying off the booze would go a long way to him sorting out these problems (each of his high-profile misdemeanors has been under the influence).

You'd like to think Fergo has learned his lesson, but he doesn't seem to have. Can't imaging the Roosters will tolerate another black mark.

You probably mean codeine - never heard of cocaine for cough suppressant - codeine, the opiate drug that is in cold and flu tablets in small doses, is the main cough suppressant used, and if you needed a large dose of that you'd have to get it daily from someone who handles opiates like methadone.

Billy , you could be right , I am not sure of the detail as it was some time ago and the doctor found some remedy in an "Old medical Journal " that they used in the middle ages when they called it the "100 day cough" , reality is I am not a Doctor , but the moral of the story is in the last line - where when you have choice and options are placed before you , conscientious decisions need to be made.

Sometimes you make right ones , sometimes you make wrong ones either way you always have to live with whatever you've choosen.
