A children鈥檚 football coach has been banned from the sport for sending a cocaine menu to a league group chat.
According to the BBC, the Belfast man has been banned from the under-8s Fonacab Development league for messaging a coaching WhatsApp group offering to sell 鈥減roper pure鈥 cocaine.
The text listed prices and locations the man would drop the drugs to, stating 鈥渢ime wasters鈥 would be blocked.
About 400 coaches are believed to have been in the chat, which was used to discuss junior match times.
A representative for the league confirmed to Belfast Live that the man is no longer allowed at any of the organisation鈥檚 clubs.
鈥淎 coach from a club has posted that message that is going about; as a league, that coach was removed straight away; the coach鈥檚 club were informed straight away, along with the child protection officers.鈥
The league also condemned the man鈥檚 conduct in a statement on their Facebook page titled 鈥淥ur Standards Matter鈥.
鈥淎s a league, we cannot monitor or control every message shared between coaches when organising fixtures or availability.
鈥淗owever, we do have clear expectations of behaviour, and any conduct that breaches safeguarding or professionalism will be addressed immediately.鈥
