Message: [QUOTE="Kaz, post: 2656908, member: 1843"] Karmichael Hunt fined $30,000, stripped of vice-captaincy and banned six weeks by Queensland Reds and ARU for cocaine scandal Karmichael Hunt has been given a sporting lifeline and won't be sacked after pleading guilty to four counts of cocaine possession. Instead, the Australian Rugby Union and the Queensland Rugby Union will add a $30,000 fine to the $2500 fine from Southport Magistrates Court and suspend him for six weeks. He will be eligible for Super Rugby in round eight. The 28-year-old must also enter a drug treatment and rehab program and will be the subject of a targeted drug testing program. Hunt has already been stood down for two weeks and that has been factored into the suspension. He will continue to train in a restricted program at Ballymore, away from the team, before returning to Reds sessions from Monday, March 23 ahead of the away match against the Rebels in Melbourne.
