Rugby League: Chris Walker stood down and fined

The Sydney Roosters yesterday stood down Chris Walker for this weekend's NRL game against the West Tigers, fined the former Queensland winger 10 per cent of his salary, and imposed a full alcohol ban on him for the rest of the season.

Earlier, he was kicked out of Queensland's State of Origin camp as a result of a late-night incident.

Walker has also agreed to undergo counselling after being charged with assaulting police outside a Brisbane nightclub. The police were forced to use capsicum spray to subdue Walker at 4am.
