Bosnich faces action

Mark Bosnich faces disciplinary action from Chelsea and the Football Association after a B sample confirmed a positive test for cocaine.

Bosnich has been suspended since the first test returned a positive finding last month and the results of the second sample now open the way for the Chelsea keeper to be charged by the FA.

The FA have refused to confirm the findings of the second test or comment about the case, but the Press Association has learned that the result does show the presence of cocaine.

The test result means proceedings by the FA and Chelsea against Bosnich can now go ahead.

The 30-year-old Australian, who has only made a handful of appearances for Chelsea despite being paid around £40,000 (€62,500) a week, could have his contract with the London club terminated on the grounds of serious misconduct.

He has reportedly been suspended without pay since testing positive and recently checked into the Priory clinic in Roehampton for treatment for depression.
