One ecstasy tablet supposedly.

Pretty serious stuff, but do police really waste their resources and time raiding homes for the sake of one ecstasy tablet?

They must have been tipped off about drug activity or trafficking of a larger magnitude.

[Gorgoroth 12,920]

Saying he is innocent and will submit to blood, urine, hair tests etc

Has been (supposedly) charged.

[Gorgoroth 12,920]

Yeah it's in relation to another bust last friday and I heard something about maybe a brother?

he should of swallowed it before they found it.

Take some heat out of the tanking debate, I was hoping something like this would come up.

He's had family living at his house for a while.

Bit over the top if it is just the 1 pill imo

We'll know if he's guilty if he starts dancing around with glow sticks when the umpire blows its whistle.

(I've always been a big fan of NLM actually, hope it's just a beat up)

Poor Bugger, most of us have happily indulged in the odd goog or two, without being raided & splashed all over the Herald sun Toilet Paper.

I hope he is cleared. Pity it wasn't Lloydy though. Would love to see that jerk go down, & that means literally not taking a dive in the goal square.

Yep. My first thought was the same. Some other club can have the media blowtorch aimed at them for a couple days.

Not sure what to make of this yet. But being charged with possession of a single E is overly dramatic if you ask me. Ridiculous. Obvously the police thought they'd find more than that.

When I was 20 the house I was living in got raided. Not a pleasant experience. Amusing when all they find is five pieces of 'marijuana paraphernalia'. But still not fun.

And how does a raid on a house result in someone being charged with driving without a license? Unless he is living in his car.

Hopefully Nathan doesn't find himself in too much trouble from all this.

i dont care if it was 1/8 of a tablet...

drugs are drugs....they are illegal

either dob somone in and clear his name , or crash and burn NLM

Player's.

Geez, I thought the whole team had been busted!

[two sheds jackson 3]

Agree with WYL; it's an absolute non-event. Even if he's "guilty", I really don't care and nobody else should either. If he was in any other profession, no one would.

DaveyJones'sLocker, your "drugs are bad, they are illegal" angle is nothing short of circular logic; you're not saying "drugs are bad because they do this this and this to you", you're saying, "drugs are bad because they are illegal, and they are illegal because they're bad, and they're bad because they're illegal". Its an argument that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and it's surprising how many people get sucked in by it.

Yeah, the police should lean on him with the threat of serious jail time for having one pill that may or may not even be his.

two sheds jackson i dont think that additute towards drugs is the best approach

its the sort of approach that leads to them being readily available and accepted by some individuals..

Its also the sort of attitude that makes alcohol and cigarettes readily available and accepted by some individuals...

- Where do you draw the line on deciding whats good for other people?

Admittedly a bit deep for a football forum...
