The PGMOL has confirmed it is aware of a new video which appears to show suspended Premier League referee David Coote snorting a white powder while reportedly working at Euro 2024 last summer.
The latest video, which has been published by The Sun, comes after Coote was suspended on Monday by the PGMOL for a separate video that appeared to show him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp.
Following the latest video, a spokesperson for Professional Game Match Officials Ltd told Sky Sports News on Wednesday: “We are aware of the allegations and are taking them very seriously. David Coote remains suspended pending a full investigation.
“David’s welfare continues to be of utmost importance to us and we are committed to providing him with the ongoing necessary support he needs through this period. We are not in a position to comment further at this stage.”
Sky Sports News has also contacted UEFA and the Football Association for comment.
Earlier this week, the FA launched an investigation into a separate video that was widely circulated on social media which appeared to show Coote making derogatory comments about Liverpool and Klopp.
Coote will not officiate any UEFA games this week.
