Just heard it on the news. Still can't believe it, he was only young.

I heard a rumour he was too, but if he was to gutless to identify then I don't care what has happened to him.

Funny thing i was just reading about ben cousins leaving mainys house just hours before he collapesd..
No need for an autopsy there is your cause of death right there!!! ben cousins isnt clean of drugs and if anyone thinks he is they are kidding themselves if the rumours are true that they did have a weekend bended and they reakon he died of a heart attack i can garuntee you its a drug induced heart attack but noone will ever find this out.
it will get swept under the rug to save his reputation to save cousins career and to save the west coast eagles rep which has had an absolute hammering!!!
Personally i wouldnt care if it didnt get out because its their own private business what they do and noone has the right to know! imagin if the country named and shamed every single person in australia taking drugs??

it would be like watching the stock market go up and up and up!

Did I hear correctly that Cousins was drug tested and the result was clean. I'm sure I heard that on the news. Whatever the case, sad news for Chris' family. RIP.

Thats what I heard also. Whether its true or not, we will not find out. But he apparently offered himself for testing.
Out of interest, if Cousins were to test positive, would it be reported? Technically he has never been tested positive so it would be his first strike. Or has the AFL put a special leash on him, any positive test and he is out. Curious.

thats a good question!!! the only thing is he offers to take a test so if they say yes they want him tested and book an appointment all cousins has to do is rock up with a tube of a mates wee that is clean and bang he's clear! haha i dont think they'd swab because it'd be to unaccurate.
Can players be tested in the off season?

I think it has to be supervised urines, while I know that people can and have cheated on supervised urines, I think if Cousins was to have them done, no doubt would there be extra precautions..
