Referee suspected of taking cocaine during European Championship

The European Football Association (Uefa) has launched a new investigation into scandal-ridden referee David Coote.

A video, published by The Sun, allegedly shows the Englishman taking cocaine using a dollar bill during the European Championship last summer.

Coote was a video referee during the championship and lived in a hotel near Frankfurt.

Coote was already in trouble after another video showed him speaking disparagingly about Liverpool's former coach Jürgen Klopp. For this, he has been banned from refereeing matches in England and has also been dropped from the Nations League.
