England and Wales’ Football Banning Orders (FBO) will be extended to cover Class A drugs, the UK government announced on Thursday as Prime Minister Boris Johnson vowed to clamp down on “middle-class coke heads.”
It means an individual found to be in possession of Class A drugs at or on the way to a football match will be banned from attending matches for three to five years on top of the other penalties they may face under the law, according to Crime and Policing Minister Kit Malthouse.
Under FBO rules, a fan banned from matches also has to surrender their passport if their team is playing overseas….
