UEFA has confirmed that it has commenced an investigation into a new video, which appears to show suspended Premier League referee, David Coote, snorting white powder while working at Euro 2024.
The European football’s governing body says it is looking into a potential violation of its disciplinary regulations, having suspended the official earlier this week.
The latest video surfaced after Coote was suspended by the PGMOL on Monday, for a separate video that appeared to show him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp.
It was reportedly made on July 6, the day after the Euro 2024 quarter-finals, in which Coote worked as the assistant VAR.
“A UEFA ethics and disciplinary inspector has been appointed to evaluate a potential violation of the UEFA disciplinary regulations by the referee, Mr David Coote.
“Further information regarding this matter will be made available in due course,” a UEFA statement read.
