The investigation into Brisbane flyer James Roberts alleged drunken incidents must take into account his troubled history, NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg says.The Broncos are investigating claims Roberts has had two drunken run-ins with bar staff in Brisbane during this month.In one incident, Roberts reportedly received a 10-day banning order from police after allegedly spitting on a bar manager.The 23-year-old has already been sacked by South Sydney and Penrith in his short NRL career for off-field indiscretions and Greenberg says that will be taken into account during any judgment.We always, as we look at judgments on players, look at previous misdemeanours, Greenberg said.Theres no doubt that will create some of our discussion.Ive got to say what I keep hearing from the Broncos is great support for this player and thats what the game is continuing to do. We need to support our young players.Greenberg says the NRL is confident of reaching an outcome in the investigation by the end of the week.Whether that will result in a suspension is unclear and Greenberg denied the situation is the same as the one involving Sydney Roosters star Mitchell Pearce which ended in an eight-week ban for the ex-NSW Origin player.We dont benchmark one against the other. I understand why the fans do. We can only deal with the facts and we judge those facts in front of us, he said.Until such time as we have those facts in front of me and the integrity unit, its very tough to speculate.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Anthony Ervin finally has an Olympic gold medal to replace the one he sold 16 years ago.The 35-year-old American won the mens 50-meter freestyle at the Rio Games on Friday, capping a night of upsets in the pool.Ervin improbably touched first in 21.40 seconds -- a hundredth of a second ahead of defending champion Florent Manaudou of France. Teammate and former training partner Nathan Adrian claimed bronze.Its surreal, kind of absurd, Ervin said. When I touched and turned around and saw the `1 next to my name, I kind of smiled and laughed.Katie Ledecky, his 19-year-old teammate and multiple gold medalist, marveled at Ervins feat.Wow, who does that, winning 16 years apart? she said. Thats like me winning gold in London and then not winning an individual gold medal until 2028. Hes taken such a leadership role and it definitely rubs off on everybody.It didnt come easily.At the 2000 Sydney Games, Ervin tied teammate Gary Hall Jr. for gold in the 50 free, making him one of the sports rising stars. But he stunningly walked away in 2003, burned out on swimming and seeking to find a deeper meaning to life. He auctioned off his gold medal for $17,100 and donated the proceeds to help victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Ervin readily admitted he lost his silver from the 400 free relay in Sydney.Ervin returned to make the American team in 2012, but finished fifth in the 50.Hed fallen in love with the sport again, thriving on the love of family, friends and teammates, who at times over the years since Sydney had no idea where he was in the world. Ervin broke away from the winners stroll on deck to share wild hugs with his brother and his ride or die friends, the bam-bam fam.If Ive achieved anything great, its because I was upon their shoulders and they lifted me up, he said.Erviin is easily identifiable in the splash-and-dash race by his sleeve of tattoos on each churning arm.dddddddddddd He turns interviews into a discussion on everything from philosophy to Biblical parables. Earlier this year, he detailed his lifes adventures, including drugs and sex, in a book called Chasing Water: Elegy of an Olympian.This is a guy who lists rock star as his future professional aspiration in his USA Swimming biography.Ervin revealed a surprise after his win: he became a father during the U.S. trials last month. He had planned on attending his daughters birth, but he was still at the meet and then got caught up in Olympic preparations.Oh man, its like a thunderbolt, he said, declining to reveal her name. I havent had a chance to meet her yet and I tried to send a message to her after my race.After leaving the sport in 2003, Ervin spent eight years working odd jobs, moved from California to New York and then back again, and finished his college degree at California. In Berkeley, Ervin was coaching young kids at the pool when he rediscovered his love of the sport that remains to this day.Unlike many swimmers who focus on getting their hand on the wall first, Ervin favors an intellectual approach.You just think about trying to swim the race that you imagine you can do, he said. Maybe it starts as a dream and then its a plan. You plan to do something and you start testing that plan. I dont think my age should limit me and I dont think fear of defeat should limit me either.The gold medal hung around Ervins neck, seemingly more comfortably than it did in Sydney, when he was 19 and restless.Im keeping it for now, he said. Who knows what the future holds? ' ' '
