Brendan Taylor admits to taking money, not reporting approach over match fixing

[Burgey]

He once slept in an unlocked car after a bender while at Notts

Would it have been better if he'd locked the car or something?

He got into a random car he found unlocked and slept there.

 

[Burgey]

Hahahaha that's ****ing gold

Well as my old man always said, if you leave your car unlocked you waive the right to complain when a coked-out African cricketer uses it for a nap

Mine says the same thing

Pretty sure it's on your family crest

I don't know what to say looking at Zimbabwe's overall financial situation. Poor bloke. I wish he comes out of this.

 

[Tom Flint]

I always find it hard to believe how a drug addicted international sportsman has never tested positive for the substance before in one of the random tests they are meant to do

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

The tests aren't actually real.

leaves your system pretty quick

 

[Tom Flint]

Would an addict not be taking it every day or at least every 3 days.
Coke stays in your system for about 3 days, longer if a regular user

do they?

 

[Tom Flint]

This is what I'm asking. Either they don't regularly test like they are meant to or Brendan isn't really addicted but just likes to do a bit of charlie every now and then

Brendon Taylor says he failed drug test after his final international game in September 2021

"By then, I'd given up on cricket and where I was going in life"

it might be a bit more than every now and then but a bit less than a full blown every day addiction. not sure how you'd manage a career as an international athlete doing coke every day, it would get pretty crippling

 

[cnerd123]

I think drug testing of International cricketers is very rare and most of Taylor's career would have been at a level lower than that

 

[Athlai]

6 months with no pay from ZC? No wonder.

6 months with no pay from ZC? No wonder.

I think a person in a poor economy should be allowed to make money however he wants(as long as he is not stealing or hurting anyone). **** all the rules.

 

[Gnske]

COCAINE?

They do, it just gets handled internally. Below pro level they don't test at all because like a third of all club players would be nailed for recreational drugs or performance enhancers they're using to get in shape for festival season.

Sometimes you bash your wife up and that failed test, plus its cover up, becomes public knowledge like it did for NRL player Sam Burgess.
