I think you'll find that the Focus of that report was match fixing and illicit drugs in the NRL. The Muppet may have known more than he was given credit for?

While that investigation may have "revealed" a lot of stuff, the detail of which has remained out of the public arena, How many convictions did the original Black Day result in?
IIRC there was one young bloke charged with supply of steroids, and a bunch of Sharks players bullied into admitting being drug cheats through the offer of a lashing with a wet bus ticket.
There are some who will say that the political grandstanding orchestrated by the muppets actually compromised the chances of that investigation nailing some guilty folk.

Interestingly, I believe (and would need to have it double checked, but informed by the best), IF Hunt is found guilty of supply he is gone for life.
Not just gone as a player either, banned for life from any participation (eg coaching) in all WADA sports.
Obviously there is a lot of water to go under the bridge yet before then, we don't really have all the info and he might well be not guilty or have not been involved in anything, but interesting given some of the rumoured support from the ARU/QRU as it didn't happen on their watch (allegedly).

Assuming the drug infractions come under the AFL's purview, which it looks like it they will, the maximum penalty is a ASADA (and possibly WADA) enforceable life ban. No guarantee he'll cop that though. If he does he can always go become an NFL punter, unless of course he can't get a visa.

I dont see why it should be a ban for life, if he supplied players then I would agree but if he was supplying the general public and was not using himself then I dont see why a life ban would be imposed.
That being said, I would like to see the ARU declare him as not being a suitable person to play based on character and have an unofficial life ban.

Here is a direct quote from Dan Baker who would know more about this than the entire board combined and obviously knows KH well:
"Unfortunate, especially under the new WADA code, any athlete convicted in the supply/trafficking of drugs listed under the WADA code, which includes cocaine, is banned for life and that includes all coaching and all WADA sports (which is basically everything except cage-fighting). Let us hope for the best for K."

Gold Coast is Kings Cross on steroids. The sheer scale of the gang, drug & vice related crime is hidden by the touristy facade. Scratch below the surface and what you find isn't very pretty.

Although at least some of the people that he is alleged to have supplied are players of one code or another. Most of them would be registered sportsmen and thus subject to the WADA code.

Greg Bird and David Taylor have also been served notice to appear in relation to the cocaine scandal, possible another two players from the Gold Coast Titans also involved.

Ian Leavers, the president of the Queensland Police Union, says violence is escalating in the tourist hotspot.
"The Gold Coast has cemented itself as the crime capital of Australia," he said.
and
Paul Wilson is calling an upsurge in violent crime.
"We've had, since January, nearly 60 armed robberies and over the last three months we've had five shootings, so that is far away from just simply being a statistical blip," Professor Paul Wilson said.
He said the spike in shootings and armed robberies could be a result of tough economic times or an influx of illegal guns.
But he said drug dealers and drug gangs were more likely to be the root of the problem.

^^^^^^^ Kinda makes you wonder at what point Dave Smith will recant on not giving the Titans the arse, they're starting to make Cronulla & the other Dank-tainted clubs look like saints.

This article from 2011 is a police union official who at the time was campaigning for greater manning on the Gold Coast to reduce hours and the workload, crime rates have actually declined since then not that this is statistical evidence of the Gold Coast supposedly been the "Kings Cross on Steroids" anyway..
Just to put it in perspective, the Gold Coast averages 1.3 shootings per month, Western Sydney alone average 17 shooting per month. Yes Western Sydney has a greater population, but that's not proportionate to the number of shootings.

This will benefit the Reds in 2 years time.
A firing backline with the likes of mature versions of Kurindrani, Taulagi, CFS and Kerevi will be something to behold.
There will be a couple of rough years, but with the most exciting back prospects of any Aus team, the payoff will be worth it.
