Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3327376, member: 1769"] Bellamy has broken his silence on the drugs scandal ... this is what he told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons: “I am not an expert in what the guidelines should be and what rules should be brought in,” Bellamy told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons. “A lot of people say it is rife in society now. I try to simplify a lot of things. For me, when I was their age we used to go out after games and have six, eight, 10 schooners. “But the big difference is having half a dozen schooners isn’t illegal. What disappoints me so much is that these guys earn a good living, they’re doing what they love in life and what they did was illegal and they were very, very well aware of that. “They still ventured there. That is done now and we have to give them the education and guidance to make sure it doesn’t happen again.” [I][B]Bellamy said the white-powder affair has left the Storm coach and the entire Melbourne club deeply hurt.[/B][/I] “It was difficult, especially coming off our performance in the prelim (their 10-6 loss to Penrith),” he said. “I found out about half an hour before the Dally M Awards what had happened, I wasn’t even 100 per cent sure what did happen until after the Awards. “There has been a lot said and it has been really disappointing for us as a club, it’s been disappointing for the game. “It’s really important now we get those guys the help and guidance they need to not be making those mistakes again. “They did a lot of education in those areas from the club but also the NRL. The NRL are great with education in those areas, but it’s particularly disappointing for our club. “At the moment, we need to make sure we do all we can to make sure it doesn’t happen again. “Hopefully that will be the case.” [/QUOTE]
