Manchester City defender Kolo Toure admits learning of his failed drug test was the worst moment of his career.
Toure makes his playing comeback today for Ivory Coast.
He spoke for the first time of the moment City manager Roberto Mancini came to his house to tell him the bad news back in March.
Toure said: "I remember it clearly. I was at home in my bedroom when the club doctor and Roberto Mancini came in to explain what had happened.
"It was a shock to see them there and I immediately realised the implications for my career, the club my family. It was an awful moment because I didn't know what was going to happen."
