A video has emerged of suspended Premier League referee David Coote allegedly snorting a white powder during the Euros in the summer.
The eight-second WhatsApp clip obtained by The Sun shows Coote rolling up a US bank note before using it to snort the white substance.
According to The Sun, the video is from July 6, the day after Coote was the support VAR official for Spain’s controversial quarter-final win over hosts Germany.
With the game in the balance at 1-1, Germany wanted a penalty in extra time when a shot struck Marc Cucurella’s arm in the area. Their appeals were waved away, and Spain went on to score a last-minute winner through Mikel Merino.
In the video of Coote snorting the white powder are packets of prescription drugs, a credit card, and the Terry Hayes novel The Year of The Locust.
The Sun’s report claims Coote sent the clip to a friend from his hotel room that was paid for by UEFA.
