Don't Underestimate It, Blowing Balloons Can Be Punished Like Lacazette

JAKARTA - Alexandre Lacazette is threatened with punishment from Arsenal. The French attacker is known to have inhaled a balloon in a recording circulating on the internet. Seriously, is this all about balloons?

The Daily Star posted a video of Lacazette appearing to inhale a balloon into her mouth. This media calls the striker using nitrous oxide.

Allegedly, the 28-year-old wrote in a text to his friends "at home, relaxing and blowing balloons".

Lacazette was among a group of Arsenal players who were warned by the London club 18 months ago after they were spotted consuming nitrogen oxides at a London nightclub until they were drunk.

The former Lyon forward looks set to have more questions to answer as the Premier League sides wait to find out if and when the season can resume. The competition has been absent since March due to the COVID-19 crisis.

"This is a personal matter which we take seriously. It will be handled internally," an Arsenal spokesman said of Lacazette's behavior.

So far this season, Lacazette has scored nine goals in all competitions.
