Channel 4, tonight at 8PM.
Antony Barnett investigates the use of recreational and performance-enhancing substances in the nation's favourite sport. Along the way, he examines football's drugs-testing regime, raises questions about action taken against those found guilty of substance abuse, and highlights some of the many unusual - but perfectly legal - treatments players undergo.
The programme claims top players are testing positive for illegal drug use and that their clubs and football's governing bodies are keeping it under wraps.
They're also reportedly going to 'out' a "top Premier League footballer" in tonight's show.
A top Premier League footballer who tested positive for cocaine is set to be named tonight in a Channel 4 investigation into drug use among soccer stars.
The player, who will be exposed in the channel's Dispatches, completed a ‘multi-million-pound’ transfer without the buying club knowing he had tested positive for cocaine.
The sportsman is among dozens of English professional footballers who will be named and shamed for failing out-of-competition drug tests that have never been made public by the FA.

Rosicky's hoping they limit the naming and shaming to English players! 😆
Might be worth a watch.
P.S - I'm merely including this picture of Rio Ferdinand because it was in the Daily Mail article. No other reason at all. Cough cheat cough 🙂
