Karmichael Hunt won’t return to training with the Queensland Reds despite dodging a conviction for drug possession.

The 31-year-old dual international’s future remains in the hands of Rugby Australia, who say they have “resumed” an investigation into his conduct after prosecutors dropped a cocaine charge against him in court on Monday due to a lack of evidence.

A statement from Rugby Australia said Hunt would continue his “voluntary stand-down” from all rugby duties until the matter is resolved.
