An alleged video of Premier League referee David Coote appearing to snort a white powder has emerged, said to have been recorded while he was working at Euro 2024.

Footage obtained by The Sun shows a man using a rolled up US bank note to snort the substance in an eight-second clip.

The report claims the video was taken on 6 July, a day after the Euro 2024 quarter-final game between Spain and Germany. Coote was part of the refereeing team that day as a support VAR official.

It also reported to have been filmed inside a Uefa-funded hotel room.

Coote was this week suspended from duty by the PGMOL pending a full investigation after a video emerged of him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp.

In the video that went viral on Monday, Coote appeared to call Liverpool ‘s**t’ Klopp a ‘German c**t’ after a match in 2020.
