Australian Rugby Player Sorry for Urinating Near Police Car After His Wedding
Greg Bird has clarified that he relived himself between two cars and not on a police car and says he did not mean to disrespect anyone.
Greg Bird, an Australian professional rugby league player for the Gold Coast Titans on Monday, apologised for urinating near a police car a day after his wedding in Byron Bay, New South Wales.
"After returning to the Gold Coast to meet with Titans chief executive Graham Annesley I urinated between the cars and not on the police car," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Bird as saying in a press conference Monday.
"After getting married Saturday in Byron Bay, my wife and I caught up with friends and family at the Beach Hotel the Sunday night for dinner, after which we went to our car parked down near the beach and actually adjacent to a police car," Bird said.
"I stupidly and regretfully went to the toilet in between the two cars, in the space and obviously facing away from my family. I know it was a stupid and dumb thing to do but I really want to emphasise the fact that I didn't intend to disrespect anybody and I definitely didn't do it on the car."
The player said he would like to apologise to the club and its fans, "anyone I may have offended, especially to my wife Becky".
"It put a dampener on our wedding weekend. I am incredibly embarrassed and disappointed in myself," he said.
