... AFL drug test on March 19. He also has false teeth.
... Cousins had also recently split with his long-term girlfriend, Samantha Druce.[7] This prompted Basement Jaxx to release their hit single, "Where's Sam Druce At?"
Are both a bit silly. Basement Jaxx never released a single by that name, and whether Dalton Gooding has false teeth or not is irrelevant (and it is not clear that is is Gooding being referred to, as opposed to Ben Cousins).

I'm pretty sure Gooding does in fact have false teeth.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sidgjwoigewrognngrjgje (talk • contribs) 03:30, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some bad info 

message: Of the various sources only one has mentioned the name of a second AFL player, given that all other sources haven't identified this person under WP:BLP extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources until a number of independent sources mention this person then his name should be excluded from this and any other article.

thread_title:  16 Oct incident 

message: Ben Cousins was charged "with one count fail to comply with requirement to undergo a driver assessment and one count possess prohibited drug" not failing to take a drug assesment. This is incorrect an needs to be changed.

replies: text: Where's the source for him being charged with possession and refusing a blood test? It's quoted here but I haven't seen it anywhere in the media, much less sourced on this page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.213.149 (talk) 10:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: West coast officials denied that they had taken a drug test at the press conference for Cousins sacking. I haven't got a source atm but I'll be changing that part. And in case you've been on the moon he's been sacked.Ticklemygrits 13:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Drug test

message: This info should be in there somewhere.  i know it is trivia, but surely it could find a place in the article, as it sums up the guy's attitude.

replies: text: I don't think so. Not unless there is a source saying that the the "such is life" tattoo is indicative of a "stuff you" attitude. If something about his attitude is relevant (sources permitting) it would be the fact that he keeps on laughing each time he gets taken to court, and when he made those resignation speeches and so forth, he couldn't keep a straight face.

message: Use of the term 'recreational drug use' here is incorrect and sends a dangerous message to those that are not experienced with drugs and susceptible to peer influence. 
'Drug misuse' is a far more accurate description of this type of behaviour.
 Clearly, Ben's use may have started out this way but, it is a strong reminder that most addicts start out as 'recreational users', a term that shouldn't apply to illegal drugs.

replies: text: Mmm, well it is a link to the article "Recreational drug use", and at least one source uses 'recreational'. I am still open to discussion though.--Commander Keane (talk) 03:50, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
