Such a fall from grace. I cannot believe how someone with such a talent can end up down that slippery slope. Fear he will never play top level again now.

He won't, no one will touch him with a bargepole now.
However, Chelsea will need to keep paying him and to get him out of the training ground, they may have to loan him out for super cheap.
Perhaps a loan to a nearby club in the Champ for a season, whereby he can rebuild his form and set his mind at ease, banging in goals against the cloggers of the Champ. |  |

They sussed him out ages ago
He left the Blues by mutual consent after agreeing a settlement package with the Stamford Bridge club over the final 18 months of his contract, worth in excess of £300,000-per-week.
50 games in 4 years 300k a week is 12.5 games a year at 14 million a year so he got over 1 million a game now if there is anything more wrong with the game of kicking a ball about then this is it. To be fair he done well and is some payback for swp either way to many un loyal overrated players on far to much money. Build a club with players who are driven by winning amd a joy of playing football for a living. Nieve I know but how does this end for him !! Journey man squeezing the last drops out of what should have beem his best years. |  | | |

No thanks

He’s 31? Only 31?
C Ronaldo 41, E Dzeko 40, L Modric 40, G Ochoa 40

Lots of people drink too much alcohol
Its very unusual in this era as players are required to be perfect physical specimins.
But not many do or have ever done drugs and.any person that drug drives. Its worse than drink driving. You have little control and being in that state and getting in a car suchas a Lamboghini in that state, he should be thankful, he hasnt actually killed or seriously maimed someone in a motor accident.
Clealry needs help. And hope this is a wake up call for him.
He was a superb player and realistically at 31 and at the levels he was, he should still be around the England team, let alone the squad.
Wasting a superb talent, but who knows whats going on for him on a daily basis.
Taking drugs and getting in a racing car suggests his senses are not being used well. |  |

We don't know for certain that drugs were involved.
If there were drugs involved, we don't know what they were.
The report mentions class c, which includes but not exclusively, many prescription medications. Maybe the kind that are prescribed for depression or sleep.
Maybe, we should wait for more evidence and a verdict before rushing to judgement.
He seems to have been a decent person, so whatever demons he has I hope he gets the support he needs and if he wants to play again he gets a club. | | | |

Squeezed out of Citeh by Guiadiola’s ruthlessness and made the wrong choice going to that filth especially given that in previous visits he had been racially abused by their supporters. Should have gone to a team like Villa or Spuds that really would have appreciated his talent at that time. Sometimes people with the talent like he has just needs to feel loved and wanted. He certainly has many years of top flight football ahead of him if he really wants it. | |

As he was such a sensation at a young age (played in the World Cup 12 years ago), he’s got a lot of miles on the clock mentally and physically. I can understand if he’s had enough. |  | | |

Mate, they are never "The Blues" or "Chelsea" on here, they are "the Scum", "that lot from down the road", "the plastic ones", "the C U next Tuesdays" or "Chel***". They do not play at "Stamford Bridge", they play at "that s***hole", "Scumford Bridge" or "the Plastic Bowl".
They have not "won" a thing, they have bought everything.
Their favourite player is NOT a "Leader. Legend" he is a racist scumbag.
Is that clear? 
It all went down hill for Sterling when he went there. We all could have told him that, but we all could have told him to stay here for a couple more years too before he ran off to L'pool - the bloke doesn't listen, clearly... |  |

Ordinarily I agree that we should not point a finger until proven guilty.
But maybe I am old school - If I have nothing to hide I don't worry. Here is where Sterling falls down.
He FAILED to provide a specimen at the road side and had class C drugs on him. I take onboard your example of use for class C but if you refuse that specimen then to me, that's like saying you have something to hide. The same goes with alcohol. And if he has taken a Class C drug to aid depression or sleep then he should still NOT be driving. Just ask anyone who has been affected by a Drug/Drunk driver.
So sorry, but that argument falls down on the failure to provide part. | | | |

I totally abhor the use and distribution of drugs and feel that dealers should get life without any remission. Drug driving or drunk driving is unforgivable and not only are you endangering yourself but any unfortunate person(s) who may get in your way. Remember the Plymouth keeper Luke McCormack a number of years ago killing a couple of young children on Xmas day whilst under the influence. Then you have the couple of scumbags in Manchester who recently got put away. Filming themselves driving a Golf GTI at 130mph through Kingsway in Manchester at 4.30am whilst sucking nitrous oxide from a balloon and took out a pedestrian, killed outright. These lives are gone forever but in time with good behaviour these two, like McCormack can get on with their lives. | |

on sky sports earlier, members of press chatting about this, one made it out that sterling is a victim of race, ie when he does something it is highlighted more than if a white player did like?
odd, drugs offences are simply drug offences. sterling was special but it went up in his face , he did little at chelsea or arsenal , dropped for england and at 31 is he done?
i hope whatever happens, he is ok, gets any help he needs and should be happy he had a career of medals, caps and lots of cash | | | |

Tiger Woods has always been notoriously private and has led an astonishing double life which does not allow for a driver to be employed 24/7 or even in the daylight hours.
Its simply giving up too much independance at any age ( I know the old people arguement) to stop driving and most top athlethes are above the law and know it so they drive away and if get caught simply buy their way out of it .
Not saying its correct just the way it is |  | | |

Well, we know he likes balloons. But you're right we don't know for sure. But if he is guilty, I have no sympathy for whatever comes his way. His problems sure, but that's a separate issue. | | | |

He would not be the first or the last professional footballer to blow up on the way down, his whole life will have been about getting to and staying at the top, then he loses that edge and is not player he was and can ever be again, for many sportsman that is really hard to deal with especially so when you are that high profile. |  | | |
