Premier League Referee David Coote Suspended After Video

David Coote, a suspended Premier League referee, is under investigation following the emergence of a video that allegedly shows him snorting a white substance in a German hotel during the summer. The video, reportedly filmed by Coote himself on July 6, surfaced shortly after he was suspended due to derogatory comments he made about former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and the club. The Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) and the Football Association (FA) are conducting investigations into Coote's behavior, emphasizing that his welfare is a priority. PGMOL confirmed they are taking the allegations seriously and have suspended Coote pending a full investigation. The UEFA Referees Committee has also suspended him in light of these developments. This incident follows Coote's controversial remarks about Liverpool, which raised concerns regarding his professionalism.
