Shephard fined for drink driving

6:08 am on 8 February 2011

The Western Force back Cameron Shepherd has been fined 20 thousand dollars and handed a two-match suspended ban after he was charged with drink driving in December last year.

Shepherd appeared before an Australian Rugby Union tribunal in Sydney last night charged with breaching their code of conduct.

It followed Shepherd's conviction in Perth's Magistrates Court last week for driving under the influence and driving whilst suspended in December, 2010.

Shepherd will also be required to undergo further counselling with the support of the ARU and Force.
