Former rugby league international Jason Donnelly says cocaine is everywhere after grand finals.Cronulla fullback Ben Barbas career is once again at a crossroads, with the former Dally M Medallist released by the Sharks this week after testing positive to cocaine four days after the Sharks NRL grand final triumph over Melbourne.Donnelly, a member of St Georges back-to-back grand final squads in 1992-93, says, speaking from experience, cocaine tends to be rife around celebrations of the games biggest day.Cocaine is everywhere after grand finals, he told AAP.Im not casting judgement ... its just reality.Why do you think the NRL tests for recreational drugs?Donnellys claims might ruffle feathers but he insists little has changed in the professional era since his playing days of more than 20 years ago.He says some footballers are happy to run the risk of being tested while on a high - natural or otherwise - after completing a gruelling season in the ultimate fashion.Society is society and back when I was playing you knew it would get out of your system in 48 hours, he said.Thats what all the breaking your back for all year is: to have just maybe one night where youd party all night and let your hair down.A former New Zealand junior decathlon champion who once trained under the legendary Daley Thompson in Britain, Donnelly is adamant he never engaged in recreational drugs - but he saw it first hand.I was too focused, obsessed, growing up on being an athlete. I wanted to go to the Olympics, he said.The first time I was involved in a grand final, I was a bit overawed. I was only 21 and had come over from New Zealand.So then after the grand final, to see all the cocaine use was a bit of a surprise.Donnelly, a nuggety powerhouse and one of coach Brian Smiths trailblazing metre-eating wingers, also cast doubt on the consistency of drug testing.Theres no way that drug testing is random, he said.I was targeted because of my size to height but never failed any of the six or so tests I ever had. But I know teammates who were never tested.Ben Barbas 12-match suspension is what he deserves but I think it (party drug use) is rife.Cronulla stars made no secret on social media of the fact their premiership party lasted for days, posting numerous celebratory images but Sharks chairman Lyle Gorman said hed been assured by the NRL that no other players tested positive to illicit drugs.

Harper aggravated his sore left knee three times in Sundays 6-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, twice with head-first slides in the first inning. He slid into second on an infield hit-and-error, then hit the dirt again with a steal of third. For good measure, he then fouled a pitch off the knee in the third inning. He was limping throughout the game and was removed for a pinch runner after drawing a walk in the seventh. "If hed quit head-first sliding, hed be a lot better off," Johnson said. "Hell probably be down a few days. I dont know if theres fluid on the knee or what, but he was certainly gimpy." Harper, however, quickly answered "no" when asked if he expected to miss any playing time. "It probably wont get better until the off-season," he said. "Ive just got to deal with the pain. ... I could rest it for four days and feel better and I could go out there and slide and bang it up again -- and back to square one.dddddddddddd" Harper also differed with the manager on whether it would do any good to stop sliding head-first, saying the knee feels pressure either way. "If I slid feet-first right now, my knee might pop and not be good," Harper said. Harper has already missed three games because of the knee thats been bothersome since he ran into the wall in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 13, a collision that also left him with a gash in the chin that required 11 stitches. Harper is hitting .287 with 12 home runs and 23 RBIs. Johnson also announced that left-hander Ross Detwiler will miss a second start and go on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained oblique muscle. Johnson said the muscle is still tight, so Detwiler will skip Tuesdays scheduled start. His placement on the DL will be retroactive in the hopes that he can return to the rotation next Sunday. Left-hander Xavier Cedeno will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. Johnson said he hasnt decided who will start Tuesday. ' ' '
