Australian Olympic hockey player Tom Craig was detained in Paris on Tuesday night for allegedly trying to buy cocaine. French police say they saw the 28yo member of the Kookaburras attempting to make the purchase in the hip 9th arrondissement of Paris which is known for its shopping and theatres. The quantity of drugs isn’t known, but reports say police arrested Craig and the seller, who was found to be carrying 75 ecstasy pills, 3g of 2 MMC and seven vials of cocaine. No charges were laid and Craig was released with a warning. Overnight the Kookaburras midfielder apologised for his “terrible mistake”. “I’ve embarrassed you all, and I’m truly sorry” he said. The Kookaburras were knocked out of the competition by The Netherlands earlier this week in the quarterfinals.
