The NRL said today that Parramatta Eels player, Corey Norman will be suspended for eight rounds of the 2016 Telstra Premiership.
The suspension will run from Round 19 (when Norman was stood down) through to the end of Round 26.
In addition, he will be fined $20,000.
NRL Head of Integrity, Nick Weeks said the penalty relates to the following matters involving Norman:
- His conviction for drug possession at The Star casino
- A police warning for consorting with known criminals at the casino
- Filming incidents involving apparent drug use and sexual activity
- Distributing video of those incidents to other NRL players
Mr Weeks said the Integrity Unit had interviewed Norman this week and had decided, with the support of the Parramatta club, to impose the penalties described above.
