Richmond footballer Jake King snubs club bikie ban on Toby Mitchell Richmond footballer Jake King (white T-shirt) with ex-Bandidos boss Toby Mitchell (centre) at the lingerie football game. EXCLUSIVE: CONTROVERSIAL Richmond footballer Jake King has defied club orders to end his association with former Bandidos boss Toby Mitchell. The pair was photographed seated watching lingerie-clad women play American football at AAMI Park at the weekend - just months after Richmond ordered its player to cut ties with the ex-underworld figurehead. The Tigers could hit King with fines or suspensions for the continuing friendship. King did not answer calls and the club refused to comment before the Herald Sun went to print on Sunday night. It comes after the Australian Crime Commission has warned athletes who associated with criminals put themselves in danger of corruption. Richmond told King, 29, his association with the former bikie enforcer was totally unacceptable after Mitchell was invited by the firebrand into the Richmond rooms at the MCG during last season's Round 20 win over Brisbane. It also warned its entire playing list how important it is that they do not associate with criminals in any way. "Jake has been counselled specifically on that issue and our playing group are counselled more broadly about off-field issues, as would be the case at all clubs," a spokesman said at the time. The Herald Sun can reveal the latest meeting is at least the second time the duo have been seen together in a public place since his "counselling." A witness said King and Mitchell looked "the best of mates" at the skimpy-dressed women's gridiron match, chatting through the Legends Football League game. The friends were only separated when Mitchell walked down to a VIP area on the field after the game, with King appearing to keep his distance. The Richmond forward was also seen with Mitchell at Fog restaurant in Greville Street, Prahran, on November 16. It came only days after Mitchell told Bandido members he was quitting the club at a meeting on November 9 and sent out a text to others in the club.
