West Ham striker Michael Antonio has denied that he consumed illegal substances on that infamous day when he was involved in a horrific accident.

— On that day I was returning from training, and in any case, I did not consume any drugs. I have said that I enjoy a drink. But in this situation, there were no drugs or alcohol. This has been confirmed by the police.
After the accident, I was more emotional than ever in my life, but I feel that now it's getting better. Therapy is one of the best things that has happened to me in my life. Can I become the former Antonio? Yes, one hundred percent. I will play again. This is what I am focused on. And that’s why I work six days a week, said Michael Antonio.
Let us remind you that in December 2024, Michael Antonio was involved in a horrific accident, and the player miraculously survived. Now he faces a year of recovery.
