From the Daily Telegraph in Australia:

RUGBY league legend Allan Langer has been charged with drink-driving.

The 43-year-old ex-Brisbane Broncos, Queensland and Australia halfback will appear in court next month charged with drink driving.

He has also been suspended from his role as assistant coach of the Broncos.

It is alleged Langer was detected over three times the legal limit at a random breath testing site on South Pine Road at Everton Park in Brisbane's north around 1.40am Monday.

He was charged with driving under the influence and was issued with a notice to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on April 19.

A statement released by the Broncos today said Langer had been suspended by the club until he makes his court appearance.

"While this is Langer’s first such offence, the Broncos take any matter of this nature very seriously, " the statement read.

"Subsequently, Langer has been suspended from all coaching duties until after he makes his court appearance on April 19.

"By taking this stand, the club believes it is allowing due process to take place. Upon completion of that process, the club will re-assess the situation."

Is this the description of his driving technique? Was he on his push bike?

He always played well sozzled to be fair, cant say the same about his driving though?

[iHe's the leader of our Rugby team he's greatest scrum half that worldddddd has ever seen[/i

He'll get off with it, he's god, what's the point in being god if you can't pull a few strings. Either that or he can play the victim card.
"it was the Warrington drinking culture what done it m'laud"

Yep he can cite Briers as an example of how someone can reform their ways, once caught.

HEADLINE NEWS: Allan Langer is human.

good to se he's been suspended by the Broncos.

Langer's usually on the pitch for about 60 minutes for the Broncos these days. if they have title aspirations he needs to be on a bit longer and for that he'll have to cut out the booze....


if anyone thinks Mike forshaw's on the pitch a fair bit for Wigan he's not a patch on Langer. in the first game of the season he was on for a good two sets of six even being pushed out of the way by the Ref....and he still stayed on, towel in one hand water bottle in the other.....top guy.


though very silly for having a shandy and driving home....

Is Langer the water carrier for the Australian team too? I'm sure in the 4 Nations final that he was on the pitch for most of the game...

Sad what happens to legends of sport at the moment, Gazza also charged with drink driving too and Joe Calzaghe having a dabble with the columbian marching powder.

Love the name of the campaign his compatriots are running, and it couldn't describe Lewis Hamilton better.. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8592317.stm

Don't judge him folks. He has not been found guilty of anything yet!

Raise ya drink.

Haha he has failed a breath and probably a blood test.

Court case won't be to decide if he is guilty or not... It's to decide his punishment.
