IT TURNS OUT athletes who decide to let nature call when on the field of play have something to lose other than their dignity.

New Zealand Warriors were fined a hefty $15,000 after their player, Russell Packer, urinated during a game.

The player has since admitted to the indiscretion on Twitter and his guilt is also pretty clear from the video below.

    Seen this a few times in the flesh (though normally they take a knee) …. not sure what a player is meant to do if hes caught short during a game…..
