After the Souths confirm the Latrell photo leak, the NRL will look into it.
The NRL Integrity Unit has been notified of a leaked photo allegedly featuring Latrell Mitchell, a prominent player for the Rabbitohs, holding something white.
South Sydney acknowledged in a statement that there was a circulating image. The precise time and circumstances of the photo’s capture are unknown.
The white material is not implied to be an illegal narcotic.
The Integrity Unit is purportedly conducting an inquiry into the image, and the NRL is aware of it.
More information on Fox League’s NRL 360 was provided by Phil Rothfield, the Daily Telegraph’s first reporter on the story.
“Latrell did a coaching session in Dubbo last weekend, which is commendable. Additionally, based on what I know, this photo was taken following that clinic, according to Rothfield.
It’s thought that a hotel room is where the picture was shot.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs released a statement saying, “We have been made aware of a photo that has been making the rounds on social media of Latrell Mitchell after his personal appearance in Dubbo this past weekend.”
“The club has shared the photo with the NRL Integrity Unit. At this point, the Rabbitohs will not be commenting further.
After suffering a Lisfranc foot injury that prevented him from playing in the State of Origin final, Mitchell has not played since early July.
