The End for Ben Cousins

Today is the end of Ben Cousins' career. He has been sacked by his football club, West Coast Eagles, after his incident with the police yesterday. He was caught by the police with "possessing a prohibited drug and failing to comply with a requirement to undergo a driver assessment". He has since been released on bail and due to face Perth court soon.

I think this is such a shame. He was a wonderful and fantastic footy player but his drug addiction brought him to his fall. He was given more than a second chance but he couldn't care less. Even the rehab that he attended a few months back couldn't save him. He was a Brownlow medalist and a captain of West Coast and soon to be nobody courtesy of drugs.

I think it just got a whole lot better for him.

Now he is in LA and paying for it all himself he has decided to skip rehab apparently. Its the fighting spirit that you like to see, not willing to go down easily.

There is a rumour of him out partying with Britney Spears - i read about it here http://thenewsette.com/?p=9
