Former Hawthorn and West Coast player, Daniel Chick, was fined $7000 after he pleaded guilty of importing steroids.
The 33-year-old former West Coast star and current Subiaco player detained by Customs and Border Protection over steroids importation at Perth International Airport. He was then questioned importing performance and image enhancing drugs into Perth.
From SMH.com.au:
Apart from the steroid importing charge, which related to nine vials and a large number of tablets, Chick was charged with making a false statement by failing to declare the drugs.
Magistrate Libby Woods fined him $5000 for the importing charge, $2000 for the false declaration, and placed him on an 18-month good behaviour bond of $2000 for each charge.
She entered a spent conviction to allow Chick to travel to the US to visit his young son.
Chick was also ordered to pay costs of $1000.
The maximum penalty for the importation charge was five years imprisonment and/or a $110,000 fine.
The incident is the latest brush with the law for Chick.
In July last year police investigated an arson attack at his Leederville house, where his jet ski was set alight.
A week earlier Chick was a witness to a vicious attack at the Stanford Arms Hotel in Scarborough involving a suspected Rebels bikie gang member.
The plea was submitted by Chick’s lawyer on his behalf.
