Recently, there have been reports of a Premier League player seeking help for an addiction to laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide. This substance, which became illegal in the UK in November last year, has been a popular choice among partygoers for its short-lived feeling of lightheadedness. However, it can have severe long-term physical effects if used frequently.
According to sources, the player was the first Premier League star to be admitted to a medical centre for an addiction to this substance. It was reported that his family raised concerns and a police search found dozens of canisters in a car where the player was a passenger. Although it was not determined who the canisters belonged to, the player was advised to seek help in order to save his career.
As the source explained to The Sun, the player is now undergoing detox in a specialist residential centre, similar to someone who is addicted to alcohol or any other drug. This highlights the seriousness of the situation and the need for professional help.
Sadly, this is not the first time that a Premier League player has been involved in such a situation. In fact, laughing gas use among professional footballers has been a growing concern for some time now. The substance's ban in the UK may have come too late as there have been 56 deaths involving it in England and Wales between 2001 and 2020.
It is a worrying trend that has caught the attention of many, including former players such as Ian Wright and Paul Merson. According to sources, the player in question is just one of many who have fallen into this addiction. In fact, Liverpool star Dele Ali has openly spoken about his own struggle with addiction to sleeping tablets, which led to a six-week stint in rehab.
It is clear that this issue needs to be addressed and taken seriously, especially within the world of professional football. The consequences of substance abuse can be detrimental not only to an individual's career but also to their health and well-being. It is hoped that by highlighting this story, more awareness will be raised and steps will be taken to prevent such situations from occurring in the future.
