Rabbitohs star Brandon Smith has reportedly been charged with one count of supply dangerous drugs and one count of using or disclosing inside knowledge for betting.

Smith spoke with Queensland police after arriving on the Gold Coast ahead of South Sydney’s Round 23 clash and was released without charge.

Yet according to CODE Sports, the police’s discussions with Smith were apart of a wider investigation which has resulted in two charges being handed down.

The NRL integrity unit was reportedly notified by the Rabbitohs Smith had been handed the charges.

It remains unclear what information Smith’s betting charges relate to while a police spokesperson released a statement.

“A 29-year-old man has been issued with a Summons by Queensland Police on August 20 for supplying dangerous drugs and using or disclosing inside knowledge for betting,” a spokesman said.

“The man is expected to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on 18 September.

“Investigations by detectives from the Organised Crime Gangs Group, Taskforce Maxima, South Eastern Region are continuing.”

Following Smith’s airport police interview, Acting Police Commissioner Shane Chelepy explained the reason behind the conversation.

“We chatted to him about a number of things and then he was able to go on and play football,” he said.

“Brandon was very co-operative with us and he was able to go on and play a good game of football from what I saw.”

Smith made a mid-season switch from the Roosters to the Rabbitohs earlier this season.
