A major football club in England has been rocked by a drugs scandal that has gone as far as the police and the English authorities, theObserver can reveal.

The police were called in to investigate after senior members of staff started suspecting some of their colleagues were regularly using class-A drugs inside the stadium. The allegations go to the top of the club and involve at least one high-profile figure with a considerable reputation within the sport.

On one occasion, two prominent officials were allegedly caught snorting cocaine in the boardroom of a rival club during an away fixture. Rumours of the incident have spread among other clubs in the same division. Officials of the league in question have been made aware and are treating it as a first within the sport.

However, there are people at the relevant club who are concerned it may be more a more widespread problem than just the one case. At a home match, one member of the club's hierarchy became concerned when he noticed the residue of a white powder on the clothing of a colleague as he took his seat.

The club cannot be named for legal reasons but a high-ranking source has confirmed that internal inquiries began "following allegations that hard drugs were being consumed by certain people on the premises".

He added: "The police have been informed, as have the relevant league, so it is now a matter for the police to find out if there is a case to answer."

haha, tbf, a team from 7th has gone to 1st breaking scoring records and smashing other top teams left, right and centre - something fishy's going on haha.

you know if it was them, they'd only get a fine anyway. imagine suarez being the one caught, they'd still stand by him.

Thought that, but the report doesn't say it is a player just, 'the allegations go to the top of the club and involve at least one high-profile figure with a considerable reputation within the sport'.
 

Having read it carefully I thin thsi will be someone gash like Oldham. They are careful not to say top flight. just "major" and high-profile.
