NRL player Josh Addo-Carr is alleged to have returned a positive cocaine test after a roadside drug check in Sydney, prompting police investigation and league scrutiny. Multiple outlets report that the Parramatta Eels are aware of the incident and have notified relevant NRL bodies following the allegation.
Several reports describe the timing as occurring around Friday night and being in the Sydney west area, with one outlet saying he drove with cocaine allegedly in his system. Other outlets also note the case is linked to an earlier drugs-related controversy, describing it as occurring nearly two years after a previous drug scandal.
Addo-Carr’s management is also reported to be urging the Parramatta Eels not to sack him, citing community work and his willingness to make amends. While outlets agree on the core allegation, they differ in emphasis—some foreground the alleged roadside test and police role, while others focus on the club’s response and the player’s camp calling for continued consideration.
