The Geelong Football Club has fined forward Brad Ottens $5,000 and will receive education on the trauma caused by drink driving after being caught exceeding .05.
Half of the fine will be donated to Road Trauma Support Team, an organization that assists people affected by road trauma in Victoria, and the other half will be donated to the AFL players’ association charity fund.
The Cats forward met with chief executive Brian Cook and coach Mark Thompson on Monday and he also spoke with the club's leadership group in determining an appropriate punishment.
“I am truly sorry and I understand the impact that drink driving has on people’s lives. In the end it is up to me to prove through my actions that I have learnt from this and to help educate others to not make the mistake that I made," Ottens said
Ottens will lose his licence for 11 months and will be fined $450 after being found over the limit at 1am on Saturday.
