Wow - that's a turn up for the books??
Guess he should have been cracking the whip rather than sniffing the crack!

does not say he tested +ve for cocaine, just a +ve test. it does not mention what the result was +ve for.

hopefully it is just something from a chemist that he as taken such as a lemsip or something, that as caused a +ve result and not anything as heavy cocaine.

would hate to think he as been so stupid to have slipped back into old habits.

Hi to75ne,
on the bbc report does not mention cocaine but on other international papers it does...Because this forum is mainly british I thought was better to post an english link about the news...
Ofc nothing is certain yet. but they are reports about possible cocaine or anfetamine to make him losing weight..

hello giulio2010,

as the international press mentions cocaine, it seems that frankie is indeed stupid;shame.

after their recent cockups it seems the bbc will not dare to make an educated guess or speculate on anything at the moment, as they appear to be running scared of causing more controversy and trouble for themselves.

thanks for clearing that up.

The reports I've seen are the UK red tops just saying a banned substance which could be anything from cocaine to diuretics/piss pills to Salbutamol in asthma inhalers which gives a positive test for heroin as it's opiate related.
The only mention of cocaine in any report online is a caution he got 19 years ago for possession after watching a cup final.

For his sake I hope it's nothing major, seems like a decent guy since he mellowed out as he got older.

Please, don't get me wrong, I am a big fun of Lanfranco Dettori, I hope after all he will come out clean out of this story..
