- The Bulldogs star reportedly tested positive in a roadside test
- He retired from the team’s final match against Manly.
The lawyer for football star Josh Addo-Carr has revealed that a secondary drug test carried out by police during a roadside stop on Friday night came back positive.
Carr’s lawyer, Elias Tabchouri, said he was informed of the outcome by New South Wales Police on Friday.
Police stopped the Bulldogs star at around 10.45pm last Friday while he was driving in Wentworth Point, a suburb in Sydney’s inner west.
Addo-Carr is alleged to have tested positive for cocaine, but the 29-year-old has not been charged.
The alleged positive result came as a result of an initial ‘scratch’ test.
Officers then took another sample to send to the lab for further examination, but were unable to follow standard procedure and perform a second “scrape” test because they were called to an alleged home invasion.

The 29-year-old has told club officials he is convinced he did not use cocaine before last week’s test and cannot explain the first positive result.
“Police informed our office this afternoon that the secondary test carried out by Josh Addo-Carr returned a positive result. We are dealing with the situation together with Josh and will determine the way forward in due course,” Tabchouri told News Corp.
