Canterbury Bulldogs Make Bold Decision: Josh Addo-Carr officially Sacked Following Positive Cocaine Test

September 16, 2024 – The Canterbury Bulldogs have officially parted ways with star winger Josh Addo-Carr after the player tested positive for cocaine. The club’s decision to sack Addo-Carr comes after a series of internal investigations and growing concerns about the player’s conduct off the field.

Josh Addo-Carr, known for his lightning pace and dynamic play, has been a key figure for both the Bulldogs and the Australian national team. However, the positive drug test has cast a shadow over his career, leading to immediate and severe consequences from the Bulldogs organization.

In a statement released by the club, they addressed the situation:

“Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs hold their players to the highest standards both on and off the field. After thorough consideration, we have made the difficult decision to terminate Josh Addo-Carr’s contract following his positive test for a banned substance. This decision reflects our commitment to maintaining a culture of integrity and responsibility within our club.”

The news has sent shockwaves through the NRL community, with many fans expressing disappointment in the fallout of one of the game’s most electrifying talents. Addo-Carr had been a fan favorite for his on-field performances, but this incident marks a significant setback in his career.

Addo-Carr’s sacking also raises questions about his future in rugby league, as the positive test may impact his eligibility for future contracts and representative honors. At this stage, it remains unclear if the NRL will impose additional sanctions.

The Bulldogs now face the challenge of moving forward without one of their star players as they look to rebuild and focus on the remainder of their season.
