"I took drugs because I was afraid that gay people would be caught in a rough soccer field."

The English Premier League was turned upside down by the shocking confession of a 'Exit Judge'

In November last year, the English Professional Match Judgment Commission (PGMOL) fired referee David Coote, 43, who caused controversy over the violation of neutrality obligations and the act of damaging dignity. After about 28 days of investigation, the dismissal was made based on team bias and demeanor behavior.




In response to the decision, PGMOL said 'Coot's actions were found to be in serious breach of the terms of the employment agreement and were deemed unable to maintain their position'. Coote, who made his EPL debut in April 2018 and was the referee in a total of 112 matches, was notoriously unfavorable to Liverpool's game. This does not meet the requirements for removal.

However, a video was leaked on social media early last month and it became a serious incident. In the video, which is believed to have been filmed around 2020, Coote hurled harsh abuse at Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp. It was a hate speech against Klopp, who is from Liverpool and Germany.

It wasn't just that. A video of the judge Coot inhaling substances believed to be 'drugs' was also released. It was a deviant act committed during the Euro 2024 tournament. The day after he took over as VAR assistant referee in the French-Portugal quarterfinal, Coote was inhaling the white powder above, which was made by rolling dollars.

PGMOL immediately entered the investigation. The abuse of director Klopp was true, and it turned out that he even inhaled cocaine, a type of drug. The result was an immediate exit.

Two months after the decision to exit, Coach Coot made a shocking 'coming out' through interviews with local media. He said that he was a gay man and that he dabbled in drugs because he feared that such facts would be revealed to the tough soccer community. However, criticism grew even louder. This is because it is regarded only as an excuse for illegal activities.

The Sun, a British media outlet, reported on the 28th (Korea Standard Time) that former referee Coote confessed that he was gay and had no choice but to hide his gender identity in the wild male-dominated soccer world, and that he had committed something he would regret because of this.




Former referee Coote was very ashamed of being gay in his teens, and he couldn't tell his parents until he was 21. I couldn't come out of my friends until I was 25"I hid my emotions and gender identity as a young judge. The quality was good as a referee, but the quality of man was terrible. That led me to all kinds of deviant acts, he confessed.

Former coach Coot's sudden coming out, which has already been notorious for biased decisions on the EPL stage for a long time and is even suspected of illegal betting on drug inhalation, is not gaining much sympathy. He was removed from the EPL stage, but is still being investigated by the English Football Association (FA) and the UEFA for illegal activities. Blaming one's deviations as gender identity only incites people's anger.
