Manchester City defender Kolo Toure fails drugs test

BBC sports news correspondent Dan Roan told BBC Radio 5 live: "A specified substance, according to Wada, is one more susceptible to a credible, non-doping explanation because of its general availability in medicines.

"It could be some kind of stimulant or dietary aid and that would tally with what I was told on Thursday night by sources close to Toure - who insists it was not deliberately performance enhancing or recreational.

"Given that Toure is a devout Muslim and is also teetotal and the fact he is regarded as a model professional and one of the quiet men of the Premier League, it seems to add up."

What Next For Kolo?


Arsene Wenger:

"He wants to control his weight a little bit because that's where he has some problems and he took the product off his wife," said the Arsenal boss.

"Never trust your wife! That is how he was caught."
