Rayno Benjamin of South Africa’s Golden Lions Rugby Union has been charged possession of illegal drugs. The player appeared in court last Tuesday wearing shorts and a golf tee. Benjamin plays Left Wing for his South African Rugby Team.

The story starts in Benjamin’s place at Fontainebleau, Randburg last January 31. There he was found with Golden Lions Fly Half Earl Rose and two other friends. They were arrested for possession of illegal substances. Benjamin and Rose together with the others were scheduled to appear in court last May. But, the court date was cancelled because Forensics did not have enough evidence against the rugby players and their friends. The four of them were later on informed that the charges for Rose and the others have been dropped.

Benjamin on the other hand is still facing charges because the Forensic team was able to identify Ketamine as one of the drugs in the player’s possession. He was scheduled to appear in court again on September 8. He did so, but was not asked to plead. Benjamin’s attorney requested for the case to be postponed a few more weeks. His lawyer also revealed that his client will argue that the drugs were ‘planted’ on him.
