Thomas Myhre tells his story

Thomas Myhre has today revealed what happened the night in January which led him to being late for practice the following morning.

Viking decided to end the goalkeepers contract last week, because of this incident.


Myhre, however, claims that he was drugged, and had 160,000 NOK (approx. £16,000) removed from his bank account the same night.



Myhre has told the Norwegian newspaper VG that Viking, after a friendly match in Spain on the 22nd of January, was granted permission to go out. They ate dinner and drank some alcohol before going to a club. Myhre then had a ten hour long blackout before he
woke up in an unknown apartment the morning after. This led him to being 20 minutes late for the players meeting and not completing the following practice.

After returning to Norway, Myhre asked the police for a drug test, and there was found traces of drugs in his blood.

Viking are not going to change their decision on firing Myhre
