Top Premier footie ace is 'on cocaine'
TV show will name
him tonight
By ALEX PEAKE
Published: Today
THE identity of a top Premier League footballer who tested positive for cocaine will be revealed tonight.
He was later sold by his club in a multimillion pound deal but his new team were not told of the drug test, a TV investigation claims.
The star will be named by Channel 4 show Dispatches as it focuses on the use of recreational and performance-enhancing drugs in football.
The show claims to have discovered the iden****** of dozens of footballers who have failed drugs tests for cocaine and cannabis.
Their names have been kept secret by the Football Association and their clubs.
It is also claimed 240 drugs tests had to be abandoned between April 2007 and August 2010 after officials turned up at training grounds to discover the players were not there.
The show claims to have official documents that show three former England internationals and one Scottish star faced doping investigations after suspicious levels of testosterone were found in their urine.
All four were later cleared of wrongdoing.
David Howman of the World Anti Doping Agency said the FA needed to be more open about drug testing.
He added: "If you don't, then you are susceptible to an allegation you're hiding something."
The FA said it abides by the World Anti Doping Agency code.
I reckon the player that was sold after a failed drugs test was sold by man utd.
A few of their players have failed drug tests shortly after leaving (Stam, Bosnich)
And also if players have "long term injuries" instead of suspensions being made public, then Hargreves must have been of his head on charlie for years lol
