373691 2005-07-20 00:21:00 Given the outburst following the name suppression given to the All Black, I'm surprised that there hasn't been any comment made about the celebrities who are to be charged with supplying or conspiring to supply methamphetamine, cocaine and ecstasy.

Here's (xtramsn.co.nz) the link to the story on Xtra.

Lo.

373692 2005-07-20 00:34:00 HWMBO reckons it's Matthew Ridge.
Guess time will tell.

We know it's not Graham Capill...

373694 2005-07-20 01:32:00 As I understand it, the "well known names" are suppressed because they've not appeared in court yet.
So they're not getting special treatment - just normal procedure.
I'm more surprised about the leak that they are well-known sportsmen, particularly as it seems they may not have been actually charged yet?
If that's so, someone talked who shouldn't have...

373695 2005-07-20 01:37:00 Yeah, I noticed that.
It went from "celebrities" to "sportsmen" within hours on TV1.
Oops...

Probably some league players or suchlike, that us non-sports-fans have never heard of.

373696 2005-07-20 06:51:00 Apparently it's a couple of ex footy players (both codes, not Ridge, you know them) who were on a reality show of some description (the show name eludes me). When I first heard it was a pair of celebrity businessmen, my first thoughts were how many have we got? 3 or 4?

Why be a fly on the wall when you could be in the audience?
