According to the Houston Chronicle:

"...Former Kansas City Wizard Onandi Lowe, currently at Coventry City in England, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to supply. Lowe is a Jamaican international."

I remember seeing this one awhile back, maybe a month ago? Not a good move on Lowe's part. Playing in England was easy since he was part of the Commenwealth but this would likely put that to an end. And if he has a drug conviction in England, could he come back to the US and play?

Lowe has to be so fukcing HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad for him, he is a really good scorer, he just needs to stop smoking herb before the games!

[Sinko]

At least this goes toward explaining his eternal underachievement on the club level.

On the ReggaeBoyz site it was assumed that his international career is finished as a result.

"...Former Kansas City Wizard Onandi Lowe, currently at Coventry City in England, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to supply. Lowe is a Jamaican international."

I like how they make a point of saying he is a Jamaican. Maybe implying what type of substance it is?

Could be. :)

Likely though, it's just the usual soccer article where they toss that in to show that the player is good enough to be a nat, in this case for Jamaica.

Where is he playing at? He is one of my fav. strikers. the last time i followed him up closely was when he made the move to Rushden and Diamonds. Where is he at now?

[MetroChile]

Sorry, i mispellt it--meant to type Lowe! :)

[prk166]

He was transfered to Coventry during the winter window. More recently he was up on some drug posession (or was it sale?) charges in the UK.

[MetroChile]

Oh tru! Was he scoring regularly for whoever he was playing for before his transfer to Coventry?

Yes, but the bud he was scoring improved considerably after the move to Coventry.

Is he a major pothead?

This is starting to look rather serious:


JFF explains Lowe's omission from squad (http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sports/html/20040609T010000-0500_60976_OBS_JFF_EXPLAINS_LOWE_S_OMISSION_FROM_SQUAD.asp)
Only two weeks after joining English First Division club Coventry City from Second Division Rushden & Diamonds, the 30 year-old Lowe and a 23-year-old woman were arrested by Police in the Wellingborough area near his home in Rushden on April 14, reports said "on suspicion of possessing £30,000 (US$53,419) of crack cocaine". Lowe was later released on bail.

Ya, that doesn't sound like the kind of thing someone gets a slap on the wrist for. That is, if it turns out he's guilty of something.
