From The Age

Richmond midfielder Ben Cousins has been hospitalised after taking a sleeping tablet.

The club says the veteran was admitted to Epworth Hospital today morning after suffering “an adverse reaction to a sleeping tablet”.

The Tigers will release further details once Cousin’s condition becomes clearer.

Interesting… Might have to work harder on the field to help him sleep maybe?

I watched the game yesterday and there were not many who worked harder than Cousins.
I am by no means a Cousins lover,but,I think a few are prepared to jump the gun on this one.
Lets see what the outcome is before conclusions are jumped to.

Despite all the SHIT I’ve Given him over the years.it might surprise you for me to say,"I care!”

Just when things start to settle down,this happens.Hope it’s no more than a FALSE ALARM.But you can never tell with BEN.Shame really,as his Rapport with a RICHMOND Official after a FANTASTIC DAY for his club looked great.Things are(hopefully not were) looking up for RICHMOND and Himself.

Please be precise in terms of the relevance to this particular story.

I’ll have a rough guess.... hmm lets see, a self confessed drug addict, also has had trouble with alcahol, decides at 31 years of age to mix both. Maybe im close...???.

Hey fair go heard on the ABC this morning the Illegal Refugees are all taking sleeping pills now as they are worried they will get sent back and cant sleep.
Now that explains it all shock

Maybe Ben is worried about his future in Football with Richmond and is worried he might have to
go back to the EAGLES!  - Yeh only joking he is better than that?

Not particularly a Benny fan but this is a summary of what ABC radio had to say on Ben this morning. Apparently he took a caffeine tablet prior to the game, common practice for many players, then 3 glasses of wine after the game and a sleeping tablet. Dr Peter Larkins was interviewed and said that players taking a mild sleeping tablet is also a common practice. So perhaps the combination is what has effected BC and one can assume his system would be hypersensitive to this sort of cocktail. He has done everything right on his comeback as well as being drug tested 3 times a week. Hopefully for his sake this is an unfortunate mistake that will not have longterm effects.

Ok sounds good… So this was the first time he had done this explaining the reaction?.

In all the previous games he never took the Caffiene tablet or a Sleeping pill after the game.
Maybe his scriptwas changed? Doctors have a bad habit of doing that.

I was quite surprised when I heard a lot of AFL players take a sleeping tablet to sleep after a game.

This is a good read and explains a lot
