Poker pro bought testosterone on eBay

A PROFESSIONAL poker player has faced court after he bought the drug testosterone off eBay.

Corey John Anthony Kempson, 22, of Bridgeman Downs pleaded guilty in the Brisbane Magistrate's Court on Friday to possessing testosterone and cocaine.

Police told the court they spoke to Kempson after noticing he had no rear numberplate on his car.

On a separate occasion, they said they found him in possession of cocaine.

Defence lawyer Adam Magill said his client is a professional poker player who bought the testosterone booster on the internet via eBay.

He said Kempson didn't realise the the substance was illegal, particularly as he'd bought it off eBay to help with his fitness.

Mr Magill said the cocaine possession was sparked by the dissolution of a long-term relationship.

Despite Kempson coming before the court previously, Mr Magill asked that a conviction not be recorded.

He said the 22-year-old is on the international poker tour and that a conviction could affect his ability to travel overseas.

A conviction was recorded and he was fined $800.
