AAP - Thursday 26 July 2007Founding Fathers captain 'Nads' has denied claims that the Fathers binged on alcohol after recent matches and during last nights team meeting at 'the office'.
'Nads' was responding to reports claiming the meeting had been marred by heavy drinking and that the culture of boozing had contributed to the teams poor early season form.
In a statement released by the Founding Fathers he said there was no evidence for the claims.
"I was there in my capacity as reigning on field captain and I saw no evidence of binge-drinking. I'm sick of the media talking this up just because the boys like to down a few bevies and get a bit rowdy. This isn't the bloody cub scouts after all this is the Founding Fathers for god's sake"
The statement also said the claims stemmed from a private report from acting admin captain
'Itchy' which had "inexplicably" been leaked to the media.
"The report has been distorted," 'Nads' continued. "It contains a single paragraph on the subject of alcohol and that is a passing mention - reflecting the acting admin captain's surprise at the amount of alcohol consumed by some players when relaxing after a match.
"I am aware members of the team relaxed over a few tequilas during the encampment weekend - but I'd imagine that has been the case with every traveling sporting team for the last 100 years. Now rack off ya mongrels and let me get back to me frostie".
