MELBOURNE, March 5 (Reuters) -
Queensland Reds back Karmichael Hunt was
fined
A$2,500 by an Australian court on Thursday
after pleading guilty to four charges of cocaine possession but
will be allowed to continue his Super Rugby career
after serving a suspension.
Australian Rugby Union added an additional
$30,000 fine and
suspended him for
six weeks from the Queensland Reds.
In what his lawyer described as a "misguided post-season celebration",
Hunt bought cocaine on
four separate occasions from
a former professional rugby league player from Sept. 1 to Oct. 3
The 28-year-old had bought a total of
12.5 grams of cocaine,
in 3.5 gram 'eight-balls' worth
A$1,100 on the first three occasions and another two grams on the fourth.
