Football: Bednář under police investigation amidst drugs allegations

Czech striker Roman Bednář is being investigated by British police after a tabloid newspaper showed pictures of the West Brom forward purchasing illegal drugs. On Sunday, the Midlands’ team suspended Bednář saying it would launch an internal investigation into the allegations. Subsequently, a spokesperson for West Midlands’ Constabulary told the Birmingham Post that police were looking into the matter. The 26-year-old striker has admitted to buying cocaine and marihuana, but insists that it was on behalf of someone else. On Sunday, Bednář’s team, West Bromwich Albion, were relegated from the Barclay’s English Premiership after losing to Liverpool 2-0.
