		</div><p>Former Southampton and Portsmouth midfielder Jhon Viafara has been arrested in his native Colombia on a US drug warrant, officials said.</p>
<p>Colombia’s chief prosecutor’s office said prosecutors in Texas believe Viafara was part of a criminal network tied to the nation’s feared Gulf cartel.</p>
<p>For a decade, the cartel moved large shipments of cocaine on fast boats and semi-submersibles through the Pacific Ocean to Central America and on to the US.</p>
<p>Viafara was arrested along with four other people near the southern city of Cali after being involved in a car accident.</p>
<p>Police said he was speeding while driving intoxicated.</p>
<p>The 40-year-old played for several Colombian club teams and the national team, as well as Portsmouth, Southampton and Spain’s Real Sociedad, before retiring in 2015.</p>
<p>Colombia’s booming cocaine trade has sometimes lured football stars who in retirement struggle to maintain the lifestyle they grew accustomed to in their playing days.</p>
<p>A month ago, former national team defender Diego Leon Osorio was convicted for distributing narcotics.</p>
