Gower's Goss - Caught and bailed

Foiled again - Cheltenham 2000
Talk about (un)lucky. This lad was only reaching into his pocket for a stick of chewing gum when the long arm of the law came down on him - hard. His problems started when nightclub bouncers spotted him 'malhandling' a piece of what looked like tin foil in a dark corner. Assuming he was about to chase the dragon, he and an associate got dragged into the manager's office, and quizzed over their behaviour. The Old Bill turned up and a night in the cells was a certainty, but God was on his side that night. After informing the officers present that they were good boys and on a cricket tour - the pair got let off. Needless to say, neither of the lads have touched chewing gum since. They also did a pretty good job of keeping this little story quiet - it only emerged two years after the event.
