Lauryn Eagle looks remarkably different as she arrives at court to face charges of drink driving

Professional boxer and former TV presenter Lauryn Eagle has faced a Sydney court over allegations she refused a breath test after driving the wrong way down a Bondi Beach street.

The 30-year-old said nothing on Wednesday as her lawyer Adam Houda told Waverley Local Court there were issues with the way the charges and associated facts had been written, but a plea was expected before the next court date.

Eagle, who had a drug-driving conviction quashed on July 5, is accused of refusing a breath test, driving while under the influence and driving the wrong way down Blair Steet, Bondi Beach, on the morning of August 1, court documents showed.

In January she pleaded guilty to driving with an illicit drug in her system and was fined $600 and banned from driving for six months. 

In July however, Judge Helen Syme quashed the orders previously made at sentence – noting it was a ‘very unusual’ case involving the use of a legally prescribed medication.

Eagle wanted her conviction to be dealt with under mental health legislation, but a judge decided to deal with the case under section 10 – where despite the offence having been proved, no conviction will be recorded, the Daily Telegraph reported. 

Judge Symes said Eagle had no intention to drive with illicit drugs in her system and she had already suffered with all the media coverage due to being a high profile sports person.

‘There was no intention to drive with an illicit drug in her system,’ the publication reported.

Ms Symes found Eagle was unaware of the substances involved in her ADHD medication.

Previously, Eagle tested positive to methamphetamine in a random drug test in July last year. 

Her lawyer argued his client was unaware her medication contained methamphetamine.
