“Cristian Tenase from Pitesti, known as Dodel, a former football player, was found under the influence of drugs this evening by police officers from the Pitesti traffic department. The 36-year-old former football player was stopped for a routine check on the outskirts of the city, in the direction of the Bradu commune.

Since the police found his behavior and the way he looked at them strange, they put an ampoule on him, but the breathalyzer showed that he had not consumed alcohol. The next step was, of course, testing with a drug testing machine. He tested positive for the drug, so police took him to the hospital, where he had blood drawn to determine what drug he had been using.

Then the former football player was taken to the hearing and left without a driver’s license for the duration of the investigation, as a criminal case was opened against him for driving while intoxicated,” police sources told PRO TV News.

In June 2010, Tenase lost his license after he was caught driving drunk.
