Josh Addo-Carr cleared by police after B sample returns negative
The NRL winger's second drug test came back negative, clearing him criminally but leaving his club to decide on employment.
Josh Addo-Carr tested positive for cocaine at a roadside check in September, but his second sample came back negative on Monday. Police say no further action will be taken.
The 31-year-old Parramatta winger met club officials to respond to a breach notice after the B sample result. The Eels will now consider whether to keep him for the 2027 season.
Addo-Carr scored 27 tries in his first two seasons at Parramatta. He was sacked by Canterbury almost two years ago for a positive cocaine test.
