Canterbury Bulldogs terminate contract of Josh Addo-Carr after failed drugs test

Josh Addo-Carr has been sacked by the Canterbury Bulldogs after failing a roadside drugs test in September. The decision was made after he appeared before the club's board to explain his situation. The 29-year-old winger, a 15-time NSW State of Origin representative, was pulled over by police just before the finals. Despite his claims of not using illicit drugs, the board terminated his contract due to the failed test and lack of transparency. Canterbury's chair, Adam Driussi, acknowledged Addo-Carr's contributions to the club but emphasized the need for a culture based on clear standards and values. The NRL Integrity Unit had already imposed a four-match suspension.
