Episode Rugby’s Kent Bray details his escape from a crippling cocaine addiction... | OFF THE BALL BREAKFAST
Colm Boohig, Dara Smith-Naughton & Kathleen McNamee sit down with Kent Bray - former Australian out-half, Lions tourist opponent with NSW in 1989, and a Harlequins player and coach who also built a high-flying career in the city. Kent opens up on the double life he hid for years: a devastating cocaine addiction that escalated while he was a director at Citibank, and the terrifying rock-bottom moment in a hotel room at 3:22am that finally changed everything... Now 10 years clean, he explains how rugby people rallied around him, why shame keeps so many silent, and how he’s turned recovery into helping others across sport and beyond.
