Cronulla Sharks drug report gagged The Cronulla Sharks have won an injunction against The Daily Telegraph. THE Cronulla Sharks yesterday won a legal injunction to stop The Daily Telegraph from quoting advice prepared for its board relating to alleged anti-doping rule violations in 2011. An injunction, imposed on Saturday night after it was revealed more may be published, was yesterday continued by the Supreme Court. Justice Nigel Rein said in his judgment, which came after a day of hearings and the tendering of an affidavit by the club's lawyer: "It is my opinion the injunction should continue." In an affidavit read to the court this week, Darren Kane, the lawyer who advised the Sharks, said he was seeking the injunction because former "employees and contractors" of the club had "threatened" to sue the club. Mr Kane, from Sydney law firm Colin Love and Co, did not say what sort of lawsuit had been threatened but The Daily Telegraph understands it is for defamation or breach of confidentiality. He also said the club would be "exposed" to the risk of future lawsuits by "current and former contracted" NRL stars. Mr Kane said if a 39-page legal advice he gave to the club board on February 27, and another advice from Alan Sullivan QC, were published by The Daily Telegraph, it could also "prejudice ... the ongoing ASADA/ARL/NRL investigation" into "current and former employees of the club." "The legal advice ... deal with very serious issues presently faced by the (club)," he stated. Mr Kane told the court he was concerned The Daily Telegraph would "further publish" his legal advice, and the advice given by Mr Sullivan, relying on comments Daily Telegraph journalist Rebecca Wilson made on a Triple M radio show on Saturday. Ms Wilson was asked if she had "seen more," she said "yes" and said further stories would be published. The court heard some quotes came from a "chronology of facts" prepared by Dr Tricia Kavanagh "based on her investigations undertaken." Mr Kane said in his affidavit the advice he gave to the board was marked "strictly confidential" and was subject to legal privilege. Mr Kane said Mr Sullivan's advice ran to 21 pages. The injunction against The Telegraph can be further argued in the Supreme Court. Lawyers for the Sharks refused to comment as they left court yesterday.
