A video allegedly of Premier League referee David Coote appearing to snort a white powder has emerged, said to have been recorded while he was working at Euro 2024.

Footage obtained by The Sun claims the clip shows the official using a rolled up bank note to snort the substance.

The report claims the video was taken on 6 July, a day after the Euro 2024 quarter-final game between Spain and Germany. Coote was part of the refereeing team that day as a support VAR official.

Coote was this week suspended from duty pending a full investigation after a video emerged of him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp.

In the video that went viral on Monday, Coote appeared to call Liverpool ‘s**t’ Klopp a ‘German c**t’ after a match in 2020.
