I feel weird about opening a new thread just for this, but there's no thread in which this would really fit. I first read about this on Goal.com.
Vietnam footballer caught with ecstasy pills
A top Vietnamese footballer was caught Sunday with 10 ecstasy pills at a night club in the country’s capital Hanoi.
Midfielder Nguyen Xuan Thanh, 22, of V-League club Hanoi ACB FC was apprehended by security men at the club and was handed over to local police for investigation.
The police said three of the pills he had were methamphetamine, a synthetic drug causing euphoria and excitement, besides addiction. The seven others were of an unknown kind and were being tested.
The player had admitted to using ecstasy often and that the pills he had were gifts from friends, the police said.
Recreational drugs like ecstasy too are banned in Vietnam.
Thanh was released Monday on bail provided by his club. (thanhniennews.com)
