Former Colombia defender caught smuggling cocaine in his underwear

Former Colombia international Diego Osorio was arrested by authorities for carrying over a kilo of cocaine in his underwear. 

The ex-Atletico Nacional man, 46, was apprehended in Medellin's Jose Cordova Airport while trying to board a plane for Madrid. 

Osorio allegedly had 1.145 kilos of the narcotic stuffed in his underwear when he was intercepted by security at the airport, with an estimated street value of £40,000. 

The former defender had also been held in Miami for cocaine possession in 2002, and had been released on bail. 

When questioned Osorio, who made 17 appearances for Colombia, said he was "trying to pay off a debt" and was later released pending charges by a judge in Rionegro.
