canbury bankstown Bulldog's general manager Phil Gould is speaking on the club's investigation into Josh Ado car's alleged roadside drug test time media don't even find out about how B of professionals I'll get on and prepare for this week I think Josh has done the naval Thing by the team he's put the team first in the club first um so that he's not a distraction this week which it would obviously be we we're aware of that it would obviously be a distraction and he wants him to get on and play well fo this weekend if he hadn't stood down would you have stood him down uh well that's the question I don't have to now has Josh has Josh spoken to the no and how is Josh Josh is uh upset he's very very upset he's actually uh yeah he is very upset it's kind of very very frustrating for him because he believes in his own heart that he's done nothing wrong he firmly denies firmly denies taking drugs firmly denies taking drugs and in fact last week for that to be in any system on Friday night he'd have had that some time during last week taking cocaine which stays in your system for 48 72 hours well three of those days he was here training or he was doing community work he was doing something else so we're at a bit of loss too but until that sample comes out none of us are going to know so say say you guys win let's have you win we're just standing here next week I'll answer that next week how did you feel about the way he his interpretation of what happened the way that was passed on to you the first time we've had that conversation a 100 times 100 times I think in his thought when he left the scene on Friday night that this would never rear its head again that he wouldn't have to worry about it and it was kind of like I haven't done anything wrong I haven't taken the drugs the policeman said if you haven't done anything wrong this will be fine and you'll be sweet he just didn't think that this would ever raise its head again and that's how he interpreted it with false positives I think Josh Reynolds might have been through a similar situ that's why they have secondary tests because the first test you know that's up for the police to decide but the bottom line is the police are doing their job they're protecting the community and they're doing what they have to do Josh has been pulled over he submitted for the test he did the test he was he did everything they wanted he didn't get a citation he wasn't booked he wasn't taken to a police station he was allowed to get in his car and drive home for me under the old system that sounds like all right what he's telling me is right but it was never ever said to him that these tests were negative the the the um not the referee the uh bu bunker the the policeman did say to him that you have a positive here for a positive indication of cocaine which is but I'm convict on that one they have to go and get the other one so until we get that sample back we really don't know but that'll be the but Josh is saying to me I haven't taken the drugs if Josh had told you that they had been a initial positive sample and essentially told you the full version of events how would circumstances be different today would he still be playing this weekend uh that's an interesting question um under the CBA rules we have no reason to stand him down nor has the league in the Integrity unit who I've spoken to at length have any reason to stand him down until that last sample comes back positive so with that in keeping um there would been no reason for us to stand him down and go through the normal process I think with the Braden Trindle one there was alcohol as well as drugs involved and he self-reported and himself uh he pleaded guilty and they got on with it that way he went and did some rehab
