Former Tottenham midfielder tested positive for cocaine

Hull City midfielder Jake Livermore has been reportedly tested positive for cocaine and has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

The Telegraph reports the 25-year-old will not play for Steve Bruce’s side and it is a massive blow for the Tigers’ relegation survival. He came up through Tottenham Hotspur’s academy before joining Hull City on-loan in 2013.

Livermore signed for Hull on a permanent transfer and was dubbed to be one of the brightest prospects, which saw him called for England national team in 2012. He made one appearance in the Three Lions’ shirt, which came against Italy.
