One-time England international avoids punishment despite testing positive for cocaine

Hull midfielder Jake Livermore has escaped punishment despite failing a drugs test for cocaine.

He has admitted to an anti-doping breach, but the Football Association says he will not face a suspension due to the "specific and unique nature of the circumstances surrounding the case".

The baby boy of Livermore and his partner died shortly after his birth in May 2014, and an FA commission says this had a "devastating effect" on the player.

Livermore has one England cap to his name, having appeared in a friendly against Italy in 2012.
