A second Newcastle Knights player has been charged with drug dealing, throwing the Australian National Rugby League club into upheaval on Monday.

The Knights said they stood down forward Chris Houston indefinitely after he was charged with four counts of supplying prohibited drugs.

Houston’s charges follow the termination of teammate Danny Wicks’ $200,000 annual contract with three years to run after he was charged with supplying drugs on Dec. 16, 2009.

Houston’s lawyers released a statement confirming the charges and saying he was willing to stand down in order to let the team focus on the competition.
