Drug allegation is scurrilous says Cullen

6:16 am on 4 August 2009

A furious Brisbane chief executive Bruno Cullen has branded allegations of a drugs cover-up by the NRL club as "scurrilous" and says he's investigating legal action.

The latest allegations to hit Brisbane surfaced a day after their humiliating 56-0 loss to Canberra, leading to some irate rugby league fans hammering the club on talkback radio and on internet blogs.

Cullen says he's talked to a lawyer and wouldn't rule out some players following suit after a newspaper said the club was covering up a drugs problem involving one of its high profile players.

He says that's totally untrue and Brisbane drug tests its player four to five times more than they are required to.

Cullen says it's been a bad week but he wouldn't say it's the club's darkest hour as less than two years ago Parramatta scored 68 points against them then Melbourne scored 50 in a finals game.
