Police issue drug-related arrest warrant for Australian rugby player
Mainichi reports that Japanese police have issued a drug-related arrest warrant for an Australian who plays for a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries rugby club:
Police obtained the arrest warrant for 31-year-old player Simon Kasprowicz, who belongs to the Sagamihara Dynaboars. However, details of the case have yet to be made clear, and officials have put off announcing any punishments for him.
A rugby official has used the incident as an opportunity to single out foreign players as a source of drug trouble:
“The continuation of drug incidents is extremely regrettable,” a Kanto region rugby official said. “I want teams to also properly investigate the actions of their foreign players.”
