Martin Cattalini has been stood down by his out-of-form NBL club the Cairns Taipans for drink driving.

“It is unfortunate that this has occurred as Martin is well liked in the community and is a good person of great character,” Taipans chief executive Denis Keeffe said in a statement.

“The Taipans, however, have a strict code of conduct for all players, coaches and staff and we take breaches of the code of conduct very seriously.

“We have shown in the past that any breaches will be dealt with by the club swiftly.”

Keeffe and coach Alan Black would not comment when asked when Cattalini would play again.
