Who is Sandor Earl? The strife and times of an underwear model and peptide trafficker Sandor Earl sports an interesting hairstyle this year. UNTIL recently, Sandor Earl was mostly known for his 'bromance' with wayward star Blake Ferguson and stripping to his dacks as an underwear model. So it's fitting the best mates were both caught with their pants down by the NRL in the past two days. Earl is facing a life ban after admitting to the use and trafficking of peptides. Ferguson was stood down by the Raiders after a week of misdemeanours that included drinking while injured, missing two training sessions and skipping a meeting with CEO Don Furner. Until recent troubles in the nation's capital, Earl shared a home in Canberra with Ferguson and Jack Wighton.

Earl's close friendship with Ferguson - which extended onto the field with their centre-wing combination - developed into a bromance they dubbed 'Dorguson' (Sandor's name is often abbreviated to Dor). Earl even had 'Dorguson' tattooed on his arm, while Ferguson is expected to get the ink sometime this year. "I'll look like everyone else of our generation, everyone will look the same," Earl said recently when asked how he'll look when he's 80. It'll be funny, I'll be in my shorts and long socks with the stars [a large tattoo on his leg] hanging out. The nurses will love it.' 2009 Earl, or 'Princess' as he is nicknamed, shot to fame even before his NRL debut when he stripped down to promote male underwear brand Cocksox. Later that year, he and teammate Jake Friend were charged with assault following an alleged altercation involving the niece of ABC rugby league radio commentator David Morrow. Both players were cleared of the charges. Earl debuted on the wing and played three games for the Roosters in 2009 Sandor Earl (L) and Jake Friend outside of Downing Centre Local Court. 2010 Earl joined Penrith in 2010 and was named the Panthers' rookie of the year in his first season. He capped the year by scoring one of the most spectacular tries in recent NRL history in the preliminary final against the Canberra Raiders, cartwheeling towards the try line and planting the ball over it while his body was suspended over the sideline. Sandor Earl and his miracle try in the 2010 finals. 2011 Earl played only five games for the Panthers as he battled serious shoulder injuries. While in rehab, he was reportedly treated with a peptide away from the Penrith club. At least some of the ASADA charges are expected to relate to Earl's 2011 movements at the Panthers, which reportedly occurred outside the knowledge of the club. 2012 Earl was released by the Panthers mid-season to join the Raiders, where he moved in with partner in crime Ferguson. He became a revelation in the nation's capital, playing a key part in Canberra's late surge into the NRL finals, being hailed as one of the buys of the year. As his modelling career flourished, Earl was nominated for the Cleo Bachelor of the Year Award. According to reports, Earl was on the cusp of switching to the AFL after participating in a secret try-out for Essendon arranged by Stephen Dank in May of 2012. Dank is the sports scientist at the centre of the ASADA investigation, who denies any wrongdoing.

He was understood to have signed a one-year deal for $220,000 net, due to a foreign worker loophole that means he won't pay tax on earnings in his first season. But then the real storm hit. Earl was revealed as a person of interest in the ASADA investigation in June 2013 when it was claimed he was treated with a peptide at a Cabramatta clinic while at the Panthers in 2011. Earl promptly released a statement denying the allegations. In July, Earl successfully obtained a Supreme Court injunction to prevent his medical records being published. Clearly he had something to hide, with Earl copping the NRL's first infraction notice today after admitting to doping violations.
