    I saw that earlier this morning, it is pretty inconclusive.

    And when he came out at 5am he was pretty steady on his feet. Most people drinking for that long would be at least a little unsteady on their feet, if they could stand at all.

      Ben Cousins - Toolie on the Gold Coast
      Gutter journalism at its best. Well done ACA. I thought they had footage of him sniffing something off a table. If they did, why didn't they show it? ACA is a sad shadow of it's former self, when it actually was a current affairs program.

      If I was a recovering addict I wouldn't go to the Gold Coast, but that is a choice Ben Cousins has made, so what? It is a sad state of affairs when a private individual can't go on holidays (remember he is not a league footballer now) without being stalked for three days by a tv crew.

        ACA viewers get what they deserve.

          He took the AFL for a big ride didn't he?
          I'm pretty sure rehab doesn't involve going out and partying at schoolies.
          C'mon GS14. You should have accepted by now that as far as DEWCEFSBC is concerned ... where there's smoke, there is indeed fire.
          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

            He was clearly snorting his heart out.
            Nothing wrong with that - it's the off season and he's not playing at the top level next year anyway.
            ACA and TT are both so far from what 60 minutes started all those years ago that it's not even worth comparing them to unbiased journalists.

            Having said that, Karl was hosting last night, and he is one of my heroes.

              In his case it's a roaring bushfire!

                You know how much I HATE to bring up an old thread... but... guess who's in trouble again.

                Any of you apologists still making excuses for him?

                  I guess I think now he is just a bloke who used to be a footballer that has a long term drug problem that he can't seem
                  to get himself out of. It may end up killing him. His situation is likely to be very distressing for his parents and siblings,
                  and it's probably not much fun waking up every morning and being him.
                  We only know about it because he used to play footy. There were probably ten other people yesterday who were also
                  arrested for breaking an AVO and drug possession that didn't get written about in the paper.
                  Not a lot of joy in any of these situations.
