London, Sep.13 (ANI): The name of a former Premier League footballer who tested positive for cocaine, and yet only received a two month suspension, has been revealed by the Channel Four network.
The footballer in question turned out to be ex-Birmingham City striker Gary O'Connor.
According to the Daily Mail, O'Connor tested positive for the drug during the 2009/10 season.
Channel Four also unveiled a cover up by both the club and the Football Association after former manager Alex Mcleish said that the striker was out injured.
O'Connor was found to have taken cocaine in 2009, but was banned for just two months
Mcleish said that he had had a reaction to an operation the previous year so would miss three or four months of action.
Neither O'Connor, Mcleish or Birmingham City would comment on the allegations. (ANI)
