Socceroos player Cristian Volpato is facing charges in Sydney after allegedly testing positive for cocaine during a roadside drug test. The incident occurred following two separate interactions with law enforcement in the city.
Authorities reportedly stopped Volpato on the Anzac Bridge earlier in the day, where he was issued an infringement notice for driving more than 20 km/h over the speed limit. He was later stopped again, at which point he allegedly failed the roadside drug test.
Volpato, who recently switched his international allegiance from Italy to Australia ahead of the 2026 World Cup, is now facing charges related to both the speeding incident and the alleged drug offense.
