Cricket star Stuart MacGill was held against his will for four hours after becoming embroiled in an alleged $660,000 cocaine rip-off, according to court documents.
The retired leg spinner has made a nine-page statement about his alleged ordeal which was tendered in court on Monday along with a statement by his girlfriend Maria O'Meagher.
Police allege MacGill was kidnapped after unwittingly introducing an acquaintance, known only as Sonny, to Marino Sotiropoulos, the brother of Ms O'Meagher.
Sotiropoulos allegedly supplied Sonny with 2kg of cocaine sourced from an unnamed dealer but Sonny failed to pay for the drugs and has since gone to ground.
