In another eventful day for the NRL's most troubled footballer, it was revealed Ferguson had been caught speeding and driving a car while his license is suspended.

He lost his ACT license for demerit points recently then last Saturday was again pulled over by Goulburn Highway Patrol officers for travelling at 128kph in a 110kph area.
He was issued with a Field Court Attendance notice to attend Moss Vale Local Court on October 21.
Sources have confirmed he passed a breathalyser test and there was no suggestion he had been drinking.
"He was very co-operative and the police had no issues with his demeanour," said senior sergeant Allan McCulloch, the head of Goulburn Highway patrol.
Ferguson's minder, boxer Anthony Mundine, told The daily Telegraph he was unaware of the driving offences.
"He hasn't mentioned anything to me," Mundine said.
"I have spoken to Blake about his activities last weekend. He needs to get himself sorted.
"I'm trying very, very hard with him."
The NRL integrity unit will call for a report on Ferguson's latest incident next week.
He is also to appear in Waverley court next week on indecent assault charges from a Cronulla nightclub. He has pleaded not guilty.
And NRL source said senior officials were closely monitoring the situation.
It is highly unlikely the NRL will register a new contract with another club until his matters have been dealt with in court.
"The integrity unit looks at all incidents that involve the police," a spokesman said.
Ferguson's contract was deregistered for four weeks earlier this year over the indecent assault charges.
Ferguson, 23, has had a string of indiscretions this year, mostly alcohol-fuelled.
Having been kicked out of a music festival last December during the off-season, he was in March fined $10,000 over an infamous rooftop drinking session with Josh Dugan, who was subsequently sacked from Canberra.
Ferguson was also charged on June 18 over the alleged indecent assault of a woman in a Cronulla nightclub, costing him his NSW jersey for the second State of Origin game.
He has pleaded not guilty in court, with the matter adjourned until September 3.
Last weekend he invoked the rage of teammates and fans by coming to Sydney to hang out with Todd Carney rather than attending a Canberra game against Manly, which the Raiders lost, putting their finals hopes in grave danger.
Ferguson and Carney were photographed by a fan at the Clovelly Hotel the night before the game.
Post-match, caretaker coach Andrew Dunemann claimed Ferguson was fit to play, which the star denied, saying he had an ongoing hip flexor problem.
Ferguson was not selected this week and has gone AWOL from the Raiders.
He has almost certainly played his last game for the club and is desperate to return to Sydney.
His uncle Anthony Mundine has been acting as his mentor and manager to try to keep his promising career on track.
Ferguson recently spoke about his hopes of turning his life around.
"I owe to grassroots football because I know a lot of these kids idolise me," he said.
"I have been setting a bad example but I want to change that. I can't keep playing up and giving them the wrong impression."
A meeting with superstar Sonny Bill Williams over dinner at an Eastern Suburbs restaurant recently gave him new hope.
"I've met Sonny Bill him a few times," he said.
"You go back to when he was a young guy in football before he left overseas.
"He was a bit of a problem child too. I look at him and think, if he can do it, I can do it.
"It's going to take a lot of commitment and I'm willing to do that. I can't just say that, I've got to do it."
