BREAKING NEWS Court case against Man City star Khiara Keating DROPPED - after she was arrested and charged with possession of 'laughing gas'
England goalkeeper Khiara Keating has had a court case dropped a year after pleading not guilty to possessing canisters of nitrous oxide, often known as 'laughing gas'. The 20-year-old Manchester City star was arrested and charged with possession of a Class C drug on June 18 last year after an investigation by Greater Manchester Police. Keating appeared at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court alongside her mother, Nicola, last July. Nicola also denied the same offence and both her and Khiara were granted unconditional bail. Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that the case was discontinued by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The Lioness, who was recently called up to Sarina Wiegman 's 23-player squad for the upcoming European Championship, told BBC Sport: 'I'm relieved the charges have been dropped. As I've always said, I did nothing wrong. Keating, 20, was arrested and charged with possession of a Class C drug last year 'It's been a difficult time, but I've always known the truth. Now I'm just looking forward to focusing fully on the Euros and spending time with my family.' Possession of nitrous oxide where someone intends to inhale it for a psychoactive effect became an offence after it was made a Class C drug in November 2023. It is still legal to use it in specific circumstances – including as pain relief during labour as well as for catering.
