Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2926553, member: 2221"] Sensational claims of drink-spiking and a falsified statutory declaration have emerged from beneath Jayden Nikorima’s drugs suspension. The former Sydney Roosters player is currently serving a 12-match ban after returning his second positive in-house test to a banned recreational drug. But as revealed by 7 News tonight, the story behind Nikorima’s suspension is more salacious than the breach itself. 7 News obtained a statutory declaration from a member of the Wyong Roos - the Roosters’ feeder club – which confesses to spiking Nikorima’s drink during last September’s Mad Monday celebrations. Roos halfback Brad Keighran signed the legal document, which stated that he put MDMA in Nikorima’s drink as a “practical joke”. According to the stat dec, the incident occurred at the Central Coast home of another player while the Roos drowned their sorrows following their Intrust Super Premiership grand final defeat to the Panthers. Nikorima returned a positive test later that week and was informed of the result in October. Being his second breach, he faced an automatic 12-match ban and possible termination from the Roosters. 7 News has also obtained a message from Nikorima, which was sent shortly after he was informed about the positive test. In the message Nikorima claims he never took MDMA and offers to “pay up” in exchange for another party to “say they spiked me”. “I don’t wanna get sacked over something I didn’t do,” the text reads. When approached for comment Keighran said the stat dec was drafted by another party and mostly false. He admitted to signing to help his mate. Keighran signed the stat dec on 7 November last year. Nikorima planned to use it in his case before the NRL Appeals Tribunal, which needed to be satisfied of “exceptional circumstances” to overturn his ban. But when Nikorima fronted in December, the tribunal wanted Keighran to be questioned in person as well. Nikorima’s team was unable to contact Keighran – and the appeal was dismissed. He was duly banned and sacked by the Roosters, forfeiting a contract worth $350,000. He is now training with Broncos feeder side Redcliffe in the hope of an NRL comeback once his ban ends midway through this season. Comment is being sought from Nikorima and his agent, Isaac Moses.
