Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claims former Gunners player and current Manchester City defender Kolo Toure failed a drugs test after taking a diet pill belonging to his wife. "He wants to control his weight a little bit because that's where he has some problems and he took the product of his wife," Wenger told a press conference after speaking to the former Arsenal skipper.
"I think it is a mistake. He was not cautious enough. I don't think there's a desire there to do something wrong and hide it. It is a complete surprise because I had Kolo Toure here for years, I brought him here.
"He is a boy who has a clean life. He's very honest living, always at home, a family man, and I don't suspect him at all to have taken drugs to enhance his performances. I just think it is a mistake by forgetting to ask, `Can I take that?'."
Toure was absent from training on Friday after City suspended him following a positive drugs test.
The defender was not at City's Carrington base as he seeks legal advice over how to respond to the news, which could lead to a ban of up to two years.
