Australia’s controversial DUI-plagued rugby player Todd Carney, was caught peeing into his mouth at a local pub on Saturday.
The photo spread like wildfire across twitter and Facebook and resulted with Carney’s contract with his team the Cronulla Sharks being terminated. The National Rugby League is also considering banning Carney for life.
The NRL released the following statement:
In an interview on Nine News an emotional Carney said he has felt “betrayed and lied to” by Cronulla CEO Steve Noyce after he was told he was to have his contract terminated following the incident, according to The Daily Telegraph:
“It’s hard to say if it’s personal or not (between him and Noyce) but he was the CEO at my previous club the Roosters that terminated my contract there, and if there was someone else in control at the club this time I don’t think I would be sacked.”
Stuff.co.nz was able to track down the first-known tweet of Todd Carney’s lewd act, which came at 10.19pm (AEST) on Saturday night.
The Twitter user – who has 446 followers and is also known as “Mark Miler” – is the first person to have spread the image on Twitter, Fairfax Media believes.
