An England footballer was booted out of a nightclub after snorting cocaine in the toilet.
One horrified teammate from his Premier League club spotted him “doing a line” in the loos.
And others were shocked when he emerged from the toilets looking the worse for wear during a pre-Christmas team get-together after an away game.
Half an hour later his team’s irate manager had him put in a taxi and sent home — mistakenly believing he had drunk too much. A club insider said: “Everyone is talking about it.
“It wasn’t the club’s official Christmas party but a few drinks after a game and many of the players and manager were there.
“One of the players saw him doing a line in the toilets then half an hour later he was all over the place. His jaw was working overtime and he was a mess.
“He wasn’t just drunk. The gaffer was furious and got him out the back door and into a taxi thinking he had drunk too much.”
Sources say the star had provided clean samples to drug testers just a day earlier — so knew he could snort cocaine without the risk of being tested again in the next few days.
His behaviour is said to have shocked other squad members and caused a rift within the team.
The insider added: “There’s been turmoil in the dressing room most of the season and this hasn’t helped.
“Results haven’t been fantastic so it’s the worst possible timing. The drug testers had visited the day before so he knew he could get away with it.”
Footballers face a two-year ban by the FA if they test positive for Class A drugs.
Latest figures show UK Anti-Doping collected more than 5,000 samples from players during the 2017/18 season. This included 1,923 from the Premier League — a large increase on 1,171 samples from the previous season.
There were 1,109 tests taken from players in the Championship, 638 in League One and 610 in League Two.
Six footballers failed tests for recreational drugs last season but their identities have not been revealed.
Two players were punished for anti-doping violations during the 2016-17 season — Aston Villa’s Jake Humphries and former Accrington midfielder Paddy Lacey.

https://au.sports.yahoo.com/wayne-roone ... --spt.htmlWayne Rooney arrested over drunken incident
Australian Associated Press Australian Associated Press7 Jan. 2019, 7:44 am
Millionaire English footballer Wayne Rooney has been arrested and fined $25 for being drunk at an airport in the US.
Police say Rooney was jailed on December 16 after his arrest at the Dulles International Airport in the state of Virginia and then released.
Court documents say Rooney was charged with public swearing and intoxication. He paid a $25 fine on Friday.
The arrest came when he was left "disorientated" by prescribed sleeping tablets he took on a flight while drinking, his spokesman said.
"Wayne Rooney was arrested and detained at Dulles airport following a long flight from Saudi Arabia after a one-day promotional business trip," the spokesman said in a statement.
"During the flight Wayne took a prescribed amount of sleeping tablets mixed with some alcohol consumption and consequently was disorientated on arrival.

"He was approached by police who arrested him on a minor misdemeanour charge.
"He received a statutory automatic fine and was released shortly afterwards at the airport. The matter is now at an end."
Before coming to play in the US this year, Rooney, 33, starred for Manchester United in the English Premier League.
His 208 career goals make him the league's second all-time scorer. He was also the all-time leading scorer for England's national team.
When he joined Washington-based D.C. United, he became the latest in a series of European stars to play for US-based Major League Soccer late in their careers. He helped the team reach the playoffs last year.
The Washington-based team said in a statement that it was aware of reports of the arrest, but declined further comment.

Drunk in public - $25 fine.
You can buy my a semi automatic weapon but don't have a drink.

Re: Current England International Caught Doing Coke
So someone had a drink and probably told someone to sod off. Geez, give him 25 years, not $25 (a parking fine is more)
So who's the one that did the coke and all that?

Don't think I blamed anyone or anything.
However, I won't chastise him for it as I have broken this law many times.

Re: Current England International Caught Doing Coke
The 33-year-old's spokesman moved to explain the circumstances that led to Rooney's arrest.
"During the flight Wayne took a prescribed amount of sleeping tablets mixed with some alcohol consumption and consequently was disorientated on arrival," the spokesman said in a widely released statement, as reported by BBC Sport.
"He was approached by police who arrested him on a minor misdemeanour charge.
"He received a statutory automatic fine and was released shortly afterwards at the airport. The matter is now at an end.
"Wayne would like to put on record his appreciation for the manner he was treated by all involved."
Records from Loudoun General District Court indicated Rooney settled a $25 fine and a further $91 in costs on January 4, with an adjudicatory hearing waived.
In a statement, DC United said: "We are aware of the news reports indicating that Wayne Rooney was arrested in December.
"We understand the media's interest in this matter but we believe this is a private matter for Wayne that D.C. United will handle internally. We have no further comment on this situation."
Rooney was handed a two-year driving ban in the United Kingdom in September 2017 after admitting a charge of drink-driving.
He joined DC United from Everton in June last year and enjoyed an impressive first season in the US capital, scoring 12 goals in his debut campaign.
In November, Rooney was granted a farewell international appearance in England's 3-0 friendly win over USA. He is both the Three Lions and Manchester United's all-time record goalscorer.
