JAC has been injured alot or playing with significant injuries this year. At the right price I'd take a punt on him but only if it's a club friendly contract.

They are, but in my experience there are masking agents that are available that can cover up the use of illegal substances . Further if a player returns a positive test the public won't hear about it. First offenders, first positive test results in the player receiving a suspended fine, and they must undertake a mandatory treatment program. The player is also placed on a monitoring program which involves targeted testing.

It's only when they are caught a 2nd time that they receive a 12 match ban and the league notifies the general public. When is the last time you have heard of any player receiving a 12 match ban?
Usually the use of marking agents is considered a positive test and automatic 4 year suspension.

Depending on what masking agents are used. I can tell you 1st hand that visine eye droplets is one that cannot be detected in a urine sample

JAC is out of contract end of next year, so dogs might release him if he can find a deal elsewhere.

Dogs big money salary
Crichton
Burton
Mahoney
Kikau
JAC

The rest wouldn't be on big money. I don't think they'd have salary cap issues, similar to the dragons tbh.

Hunt
Sua
Holmes

Not so sure. Mahony, Kikau, Crighton, Burton, JAC all went to the Bulldogs when they were in their prime. There were a lot of clubs bidding for them. Not so for Holmes and Cook. Phil Gould was open about it. Saying they plan to have a large number of players on minimum wage or close to it.

If it's true, I think he will get arrested and then face sanction from the NRL. As a matter of fact, I think cocaine is considered a PED. It might result in a 4 year suspension.
He was apparently caught in the morning after the captains run on Monday morning. It suggests he isn't just a casual user but has a problem with it.

How long does coke stay in your system ? Because I think you get twenty minutes before the second test. All the same it is no use him saying he has never done cocaine.

Urine 1~2 days.
Blood 5~8 hours
Hair 7~10 days
Saliva 1~2 days

I guess the latter got JAC. Probably used after getting back from the North QLD on Sunday. Though that wouldn't really make sense because he wouldn't have been able to sleep. I guess it was Sunday or Monday morning. He might have taken some up to North QLD with him.
