However am I the only one getting a little bit miffed that all the photos of him accompanying the articles of him failing the drugs test, show him in a Bradford shirt? He is no longer associated with this club and every negative story about him is doing exactly that (associating him with Bradford Bulls).
Isn't this shining a negative light at our club for no good reason?
However, there were a lot of 'positive' stories in the press following Tez being wrongly accused of being banned for failing a drugs test, in that the 'culprits' had to apologise, (and were being sued for libel - don't know what happened to that case).
The article linked to said;
Quote:Bradford Bulls operates a zero tolerance policy towards the use of banned substances and, with players including Mr Newton as effective role models, works hard in the community and with the Police to promote healthy, law-abiding lifestyles among young people generally and school children in particular. By publishing a full colour photograph of the player in his Bulls playing shirt alongside the wrong and misleading caption the Bulls' heard-earned reputation for anti-drugs work in the community was potentially damaged.
Now there's no evidence he did anything wrong at Bradford, and he's not guilty at the moment, but given the fact is that now he
has been banned, albeit provisionally, for failing a drugs test, then some might think that there may ultimately be a certain poetic justice?
