Police allege Socceroos player Cristian Volpato, 22, tested positive for cocaine after being stopped during a roadside incident in Sydney. Multiple reports say officers intercepted him on or near Anzac Bridge after he was detected driving well above the speed limit. The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Brisbane Times report he was travelling about 50 km/h over the speed limit when he was stopped. ABC reports police allege the speed was 109 kilometres per hour and says the incident occurs about 1am. ABC also reports he was driving a BMW Coupe. After the stop, police allege he returned a positive cocaine result. The reports do not provide additional details on the testing method or any charges beyond the allegation of the positive cocaine result. The accounts present the same core timeline: a police stop early on a Sydney morning for alleged speeding across Anzac Bridge, followed by an alleged positive drug test.
