Here’s Kevin-Prince Boateng, settling his nerves before his doping test in the Schalke dressing room following his side’s 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen a couple of Saturday’s ago by happily chuffing away on a cigarette and sipping an ice cold beer…
The image has apparently caused a smidgen of controversy within Bundesliga for obvious reasons, but Schalke general manager Horst Heldt has since claimed that it’s common practice for dehydrated players to have a beer before doping tests to help them urinate, while it’s also no secret that Boateng often takes in victories with a celebratory post-game ciggie.
So…carry on with your business.
