Kolo Touré could be banned for two years from football even if the defender, yesterday suspended indefinitely by Manchester City, can prove he inadvertently tested positive for a “specified substance”. City and the Football Association both confirmed last night that an ‘A’ sample provided by Touré had proved positive. The player can now opt to have his ‘B’ sample, taken in the same drugs test, analysed in a bid to prove his innocence.
