Jake Livermore

silly boy

Hull City midfielder Jake Livermore has tested positive for cocaine and will not play again for Hull City this season.

Livermore, who has made one appearance for England, failed a random drug test after Hull’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace last month

The club are expected to release a statement this afternoon, but it is a massive blow to manager Steve Bruce, whose side are desperately trying to avoid relegation.

Livermore, who came through Tottenham Hotspur’s Academy, was superb for Hull last season as they managed to stay in the top flight and also reach the FA Cup Final. But his form has dipped this term along with the rest of the Hull side.

clearly that was the reason his form dipped.

shame, looked to be a really good prospect in the making last year

The Tiger with the Beak. Sounds like a lovely children's story.

The clue is in his surname

Oh yeah, clearly a line of coke is the reason he's played badly all season.

Or its the lad lifestyle all season he has finally been caught for.

Clearly wouldnt be his first time using it.

Rumours over the years that a few players like a dabble of the old talc powder. I think Beattie was mentioned and maybe Van Der Meyde. So much money but so little room to do what they want, one step out of line and they make headline news.

Random drugs test? Harsh.

FTM FTM FTM

Nothing in the press about this.

Is it a Twitter rumour by any chance?

What a dope

You're paid ridiculous money to do a job and not be a tit. How hard is it? I hope he gets aids and loses a leg.

Seriously though. Its absolutely baffling isn't it.

I hope they throw the book at him and he gets a lengthy ban. I suppose they have to.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Banned for life imo.

Wonder what Hull will do with him next season.

Presumably failing a drug test could be grounds for terminating a contract without compensation if they wanted to and his absence from the team may have cost them a place in the league.
