Overview
- NSW Police say officers stopped Addo‑Carr on Enmore Road in Newtown and a preliminary oral fluid wipe on Friday night allegedly indicated cocaine, so an evidentiary oral sample was taken and sent to a laboratory for analysis.
- The Parramatta Eels have notified the NRL Integrity Unit, are cooperating with police, and say they are providing welfare support to Addo‑Carr and his family.
- No charges have been laid while police await forensic results, and the NRL Integrity Unit will consider sporting-code processes that can lead to penalties separate from criminal outcomes.
- JAC Motors Australia has immediately ended its sponsorship of Addo‑Carr, showing how commercial partners can act quickly before forensic confirmation and increasing uncertainty about his playing future.
- This allegation follows a 2024 roadside positive that led to Addo‑Carr’s sacking by Canterbury and sporting and police penalties, which makes the current probe a serious threat to his career and personal wellbeing.
