Revealed: Premier League referees are EXEMPT from drug testing despite mass doping rules on players
No Premier League referee has ever undergone drug testing by the PGMOL it can be revealed in the wake of David Coote being reportedly filmed snorting a white powder.
From recent adjudication on Saints games there seems no shortage of officials on Crack Cocaine.

Just been reading that Saints under 21s went to Wealdstone, who are second from bottom in the National League, in the National league Cup on Tuesday night, and got beaten 3-1. Wealdstone made eight changes from the side that beat Aldershot 2-0 on Saturday, including four trialists. Wealdstone were 3-0 up early in the second half.
Deary, deary me.
It goes on and on and…
Suspended ref David Coote ‘tried to set up drugs party in Travelodge after Man City game last month’
Apparently it was all the fault of Pablo EscoVAR
Even I got an invite. 
This is “interesting”
And
Despite the wealth of their clubs, the Premier League’s own central funds are under pressure due to a huge rise in their legal fees caused by cost of the profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) and associated party transactions (APT) cases brought against Manchester City, Everton and Nottingham Forest.
The Premier League’s annual legal bill has grown almost tenfold to around £50m over the past two years. Gaining more from data would help offset some of this increase.
The Premier League’s own cohesion is also being severely tested before a club meeting on Friday to discuss potential changes to the competition’s APT regulations. The Premier League want clubs to vote on proposed amendments to the rules, but City have demanded that the process is paused and have received support from Aston Villa, who want the vote to be called off.
IMHO all that means citeh aren’t gonna lose, which has been my position all along, the FA Lawyers are up against Sovereign State Lawyers
