IASbet.com.au – Brisbane Broncos
Category: AFL Online
www.iasbet.com.au – The Brisbane Broncos have become the second NRL club this year to impose a drinking ban on their players.
Earlier this year coach of the Sydney City Roosters, Brad Fitler, declared that his players would not be drinking for a period of the season leading up to the finals.
Fitler, who has been known in the past to enjoy the odd drop after a good win, knows all too well the detrimental effects alcohol consumption can have not only on the individuals, but the team as a whole.
Brisbane is clearly a not-so-glowing example of this.
All betting on games involving Brisbane was suspended following allegations that three Brisbane players were involved in the sexual assault of a young woman at a Brisbane inner city nightclub.
Pending further investigation the three Broncos will answer to allegations that the indecently assaulted a woman in the toilets of a club following a night of heavy drinking that also allegedly involved drug use.
On the same night, Broncos Captain Darryn Lockyer is said to have crash tackled the bars owner while heavily intoxicated.
Broncos official stated that it is not a total ban, rather a means to control an emerging drinking culture within the clubs ranks.
Players will not be allowed to drink between Sunday and Friday and will be expected to turn up to heavy Sunday morning training sessions.
Failure to comply with this new code of conduct will result the offending player losing their spot in the first grade squad.
