## Resource

Socceroos star Cristian Volpato is facing serious legal trouble after testing positive for cocaine in a police roadside test — despite claiming innocence and getting a negative result from an independent clinic. The incident occurred on the Anzac Bridge when he was clocked speeding at 109 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. A second oral fluid test confirmed the positive, leading to a $722 fine — but Volpato’s lawyer says he’s determined to fight it in court. His club Sassuolo also reported a negative test back in Italy. With the Asian Cup looming in January, this could jeopardize his international eligibility, as Football Australia watches the case unfold while withholding official comment. Currently sidelined with a leg injury, Volpato’s future hangs in the balance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
