Great, the drug epidemic has hit South America… 

Anyone already pining for The Wire could do a lot worse than hang out with Man United midfielder, Anderson.

In a recent report by the Associated Press, it appears that the footballer was caught speaking on a wiretap to Ronaldinho about attending a party with a drug trafficker called Richard Alex Martins - the very same Senor Martins who was arrested on Monday in a massive exciting drugs bust at Anderson’s home in Porto Alegre.

The word on the street is that neither Ronaldinho nor Anderson - both away from Brazil, obviously - had anything to do with it, and that Martins was just staying at Anderson’s house, but not dealing from it. Also, the crack team - presumably lead by McNulty and Freaman - refused to confirm when or where the aforementioned party was going to take place.

“We’re not even sure they knew he was a criminal,” said a secret source.

Quite.
