Former Everton prospect Jose Baxter banned for 12 months for second failed drug test
Former Everton and Sheffield United midfielder Jose Baxter has been banned for 12 months after failing a drug test for a second time.
Baxter, 24, will miss the entire 2016/17 campaign after accepting the FA punishment for testing positive for a social drug, believed to be cocaine, last February.
It represents a sad fall from grace for Baxter who was tipped for a great future when he made his Everton debut in 2008 aged 16 years, 191 days. He remains the fifth-youngest player to have appeared in the Premier League.
