Canterbury winger Josh Addo-Carr has returned a second positive result to a drugs test last week. NSW Police have issued Addo-Carr’s lawyers with an infringement notice for driving with an illicit drug present in oral fluid, a week after he was pulled over on the evening of 6 September.

Addo-Carr passed the random breath test undertaken roadside in the Sydney suburb of Wentworth Point but failed a subsequent drug wipe. An oral fluid sample was sent for further testing, the results of which came back positive on Friday.
