Lenny and Vardy are linked to snususe
HIBS manager Neil Lennon and a host of other football stars are allegedly using a banned stimulant with links to cancer.
Lenny has been spotted taking snus while Leicester and England striker Jamie Vardy has previously admitted using it.
The chemical is a form of smokeless tobacco.
It is similar to the chewing tobacco which is still popular in America.
It comes in teabag-like pouches which are placed under the top lip, releasing almost three times as much nicotine as a cigarette.
However, an investigation has found that the use of snus is extremely prevalent among footballers.
The stimulant, said by some experts to aid alertness and strength, was banned from sale across most of Europe, including Britain, in 1992 after its use was linked to cancer.
On social media, Premier League stars including Arsenal striker PierreEmerick Aubameyang and Newcastle’s Jamaal Lascelles follow accounts claiming to source the stimulant.
Vardy, who was spotted carrying a small circular tin containing snus pouches at Euro 2016 in France, has admitted using it.
In his 2016 autobiography, From Nowhere, he said: “Doing everything by the book has never been my style. When I joined Leicester I started using snus, which are nicotine patches you place against your gums.”
