    Kickboxing champion Adam Watt arrested in ice sting

    KICKBOXING champion Adam Watt was one of two men arrested this morning for conspiring to import enough chemicals to make $52 million worth of the drug ice.

    The 40-year-old - who once trained with swim star Kieren Perkins - and 43-year-old Radoslov Spadina were seized at their homes in Manly by Australian Federal Police officers.
    A spokeswoman for the AFP said the men had been charged over a conspiracy to import 210kg of ephedrine into Australia from the Congo in Africa.
    The case has also exposed what police have called "a well organised drug ring based in Manly" following the arrest of the men in the beachside suburb.
    They had allegedly travelled internationally to meet with other members of a global drug syndicate.
    "Police will allege in court that the two men conspired to import ephedrine, a precursor chemical used in the manufacture of crystal methamphetamine (ICE), with a well-organised international syndicate," the AFP said.
    "The AFP investigation began in June 2006 and was carried out in conjunction with overseas law enforcement agencies.
    "Investigations revealed that the syndicate initially intended to send a shipment of 210kg of ephedrine to Australia from the Congo.
    "It will be alleged that the focus of the conspiracy then shifted to a route from South America. The importation was abandoned due to delays in sourcing the precursors."
    Police swooped on 15 alleged members of the crime syndicate in the Netherlands in May.
    The two men have been charged with conspiracy to import a commercial quantity of a border controlled precursor.
    They face a maximum term in jail of 25 years if convicted.
    Lawyers for Watt have already told Central Local Court they will apply for bail. The matter will be back in court this afternoon

    Let's remember though - he is yet to be convicted! This is a massive blow no doubt, but let's not send the bloke to the chair until a conviction is recorded

    While I agree with you Phil, when name's hit the paper, the damage is done and the mark is very rarely missed in court, if you get my drift.

    I agree with you and TCW Ippy, I would be stunned if Ch 10 did anything else but a runner. We do however have a legal system in this country that you know better than I or anyone else here
