TALKS TO TACKLE FANS’ DRUG USE

THE Premier League have begun a consultation exercise with their clubs’ safety officers on how to combat the seemingly growing drug use by fans at matches. A MailOnline investigation earlier this week revealed that 80 per cent of toilet seats we swabbed at last Sunday’s north London derby contained traces of cocaine, with police concerned that drugs are fuelling a rise in football-related violence. Police sniffer dogs are already used outside grounds to detect drugs, but the Premier League are talking to clubs about how to increase security measures.
