Gold Coast Titans fullback AJ Brimson has been given the all clear after an Instagram post on Melbourne Cup day raised some eyebrows.
Brimson, who is known for his speed and agility on the field, placed a winning bet on the long-shot Melbourne Cup winner, Knights Choice, who had odds of $101.
In trying to show off his winnings, Brimson, perhaps caught up in the excitement of the moment, forgot to crop out some other bets on the image.
One of these bets happened to show what looked like a rugby ball icon, sparking speculation and questions about whether Brimson had broken any rules regarding betting on rugby league matches.
However, after a thorough investigation by the NRL integrity unit, the Titans have confirmed that Brimson is in the clear.
This news will surely come as a relief to Brimson, who is a key player for the Titans and has a bright future ahead of him in the sport.
As they say in rugby league, it's all about bouncing back from adversity and focusing on the game ahead.
Brimson can now put this incident behind him and continue to dazzle fans with his skill and talent on the field.
