Socceroos Player Faces Suspension After Second Cocaine Test Confirms Positive

Cristian Volpato's future with the Socceroos is uncertain after a second sample confirmed a positive test for cocaine. The striker was initially stopped by police on July 24 and returned a positive roadside reading. Football Australia now holds the authority to suspend him from the national team.

Volpato has maintained his innocence throughout the process. The confirmation of the positive test from a secondary sample places the decision regarding his national team involvement squarely in the hands of Football Australia, pending further investigation and proceedings.
