Yves Bissouma Apologizes for Nitrous Oxide Video

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has issued an apology following the release of a video showing him inhaling nitrous oxide, a Class C narcotic, which is illegal for recreational use in the UK. Bissouma acknowledged a 'severe lack of judgement' and expressed understanding of the health risks and his responsibilities as a footballer. The incident occurred shortly after Tottenham's pre-season match against Bayern Munich and has prompted an internal inquiry by the club, which may lead to disciplinary actions. Possession of nitrous oxide can result in a two-year prison sentence as part of the UK government's anti-social behavior policy. Bissouma, who joined Tottenham in 2022 and has made significant contributions in matches, faces scrutiny ahead of the new Premier League season starting on August 19.
