There have been various reports about Josh Addo-Carr relating to a drug-related incident with the Canterbury Bulldogs in late 2024. Some outlets discussed show-cause notices and potential contract termination, with subsequent developments around his playing status at the club. This topic generated significant media attention at the time, including commentary from club officials and coverage of potential consequences for his contract.[1][4][5]

In late October 2024, reports indicated that Canterbury issued a show-cause notice, and later that month there were claims of his contract being terminated by the Bulldogs, effectively ending his stint with the club. See also contemporaneous coverage from other outlets summarizing the evolving situation and club responses.[2][4][1]

For broader context, multiple videos and articles from September–October 2024 captured media briefings and reactions from the Bulldogs’ camp, including statements from club figures about the unresolved results of the second drug test and the impact on team selection and discipline processes. Some sources also discussed his performance trajectory and off-field issues around that period.[5][7][2]
Notes:
- The sources above are from 2024 coverage; there have been later updates in 2025–2026 in various outlets, including databases and fan sites, with mixed reporting on current team affiliation. If you’d like, I can search for the most recent, verifiable updates and provide a concise timeline with citations to each item.
- Since you’re in Paris, local time and media availability may affect which outlets publish timely UK/ANZ coverage; I can filter for the most reputable sources (e.g., major rugby league outlets) if you want a focused update.
