Loads of people saying Carroll. Doubt it. It'd say in the article if he was English, "English Premier League star..." The picture will be the player so he has curly-ish hair and the programme claims there are players who've failed/missed tests between 2007-2010 which gives me the impression this player could have failed a test way back. Also doesn't say he sold to another Premier League team.
Gary O'Connor was done for possession of coke recently. The photo looks like Ballack, (at a push) Bridge, but also look at the shape of the shoulders and their shoulder pad-look. Either a captain's armband is being worn or more likely, a black armband, as it would again say in the article, presumably, "Premier League 'captain'..." Lots of clues!
