An ‘unnamed’ Premier League star has been admitted to rehabilitation, after getting addicted to nitrogen oxide, more popularly known as ‘laughing gas’. Nitrous Oxide was made illegal last year, by the UK government.
The Premier League star is the first to be sent to a medical center for gas addiction. Despite its deadly consequences, some players are still seen ‘using’ it. Law enforcement has cracked down on its use after incidents at parties involving Prem players.
Recent reports by the Sun claim that the unnamed player was traveling in a car, while a police search found dozens of canisters in the vehicle. Concerned about the player’s addiction, the family sought assistance from the club. The player was advised to visit the residential rehab center, to safeguard his career. Now, he is currently undergoing rigorous detox and might be back very soon.
The gas, which is also known as ‘hippy crack’ in the UK, comes in canisters. It was banned by the government last year, as it led to increased heart risks and strokes. Further, according to UK law, if found in its possession a potential two-year imprisonment is the consequence.
Premier League players who have been caught using Nitrous Oxide
A long list of Premier League players have been caught using Nitrous oxide or ‘laughing gas’ at parties, despite being banned by the UK government last year. The inhalation of the gas has been deemed unlawful as it leads to heart attacks, strokes, depression, and memory loss.
In 2022, a 16-year-old Liverpool academy talent passed away after using gas at a party. Before her death, she mentioned feeling too hot. Gas inhalation incidents involving Manchester City players Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish occurred in 2013 and 2019, separately.
Footage from 2018 showed Arsenal players Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, and Matteo Guendouzi inhaling gas at a party. Last year, Aston Villa forward Leon Bailey was seen inhaling gas inside a car.
