Dean Cox says Sydney players will remain banned regardless of police investigation outcome

In short:

Sydney coach Dean Cox says none of the five banned players will have their suspensions shortened regardless of the outcome of a police investigation.

Victoria Police has interviewed four Sydney men as part of an investigation into sexual assault allegations at East Melbourne's Pullman Hotel last month.

Cox, who remains in contact with the five players, says the timeframe on the investigation is out of Sydney's control.
