| Rugby star Tevita Li |
Super Blues rugby star Tevita Li has dodged a conviction for drink driving.
The New Zealand under-20 and Blues wing Tevita Li, had pleaded guilty to driving with a blood-alcohol reading of 45mg ,The legal limit for under 20s is zero.The case has been adjourned several times for the rugby starlet to prove he should be discharged without conviction.Judge Gus Andree Wiltens granted that application and Li's only penalty was to pay $210 to cover the medical costs of taking and testing his blood-alcohol level.The judge was convinced a conviction may restrict Li's international travel playing rugby and if he later pursued a career overseas, teams may overlook him because of the black mark against his name and this would provide "a real impediment to what so far has been a stellar career".
