Former Chelsea and England star Frank Lampard was left stunned after being told a picture of him had been found in a huge \u00a338 million drug bust in Australia.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frank Lampard Picture Found In Huge Australian Drug Bust<\/h2>\n

The bizarre incident occurred Down Under when two large duffel bags were intercepted by the Australian Federal Police. For reasons unknown, the packages of ‘ice meth’ were stamped with a suited-and-booted Lampard.<\/p>\n

Alleged trafficker Richard Prothero was arrested at gun point in the car park of Sydney\u2019s Maroubra Surf Club. All in all, the illegal shipment weighed an astonishing 95kg.<\/p>\n

Prothero made no application for bail and is expecting a hefty prison sentence. The vast quantity of methamphetamine had been tracked from Los Angeles before it was seized.<\/p>\n

Strangely enough, the picture of Lampard was taken in 2017 and can be found on his official Wikipedia page. He is seen giving a thumbs up to fans at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

It must be stressed and emphasised that Frank Lampard is in no way, shape or form linked to the crime. Naturally, the 46-year-old was somewhat shellshocked at the news.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, you probably know my answer on that one,” a stunned Lampard told reporters outside his home.<\/p>\n

“What am I gonna say about that? I\u2019m not aware of it. I don\u2019t even know what to say to you to be honest. I\u2019ve literally no comment on that.”<\/p>\n

According to reports, the producer of the illegal drug is most likely a supporter of Premier League<\/a> side Chelsea. Or at least someone who had come into contact with the shipment.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the vast haul will be incinerated and Prothero will likely spend the next few decades at least behind bars. If he has access to a TV, maybe he’ll try and watch Chelsea<\/a> highlights!<\/p>\n
