Rabbitohs player Brandon Smith has reportedly been charged with supplying drugs and having "knowledge" of betting offences.
The news comes just over two weeks after Smith was stopped and questioned by police at Coolangatta Airport after flying to the Gold Coast for his side's Round 23 clash with the Titans.
According to News Corp, Smith "has been charged with one count of supplying dangerous drugs and one count of using or disclosing inside knowledge for betting".
“A 29-year-old man has been issued with a Summons by Queensland Police on August 20 for supplying dangerous drugs and using or disclosing inside knowledge for betting,” a spokesperson for Queensland Police said.
“The man is expected to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on 18 September.
“Investigations by detectives from the Organised Crime Gangs Group, Taskforce Maxima, South Eastern Region are continuing.”
The Rabbitohs are yet to comment on the reports.
