THE Swindon Town trio at the centre of the ‘laughing gas’ video are set to go before the club’s disciplinary panel this afternoon, the Advertiser understands.

Drissa Traore, Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill and Jeremy Balmy were reprimanded after a video of them allegedly inhaling nitrous oxide from balloons emerged on social media.

The three players were suspended from first-team action while an internal investigation took place and have missed Town’s last three games.

It is understood that Traore, Ormonde-Ottewill and Balmy will have a hearing at 4pm today to ascertain whether any further punishment needs to be handed out in the wake of the incident.

Town chairman Lee Power said that he was disappointed by their actions, with suspensions of 14 days and fines of two weeks’ wages already given to the trio.

“It’s a difficult situation,” he told BBC Wiltshire.

“The lads know they’ve done wrong.

"They don’t need to be doing things like that and we don’t need to be on the front page of newspapers and the football club being associated with any of that type of stuff.

“We have done the maximum we could do, really, which is suspend them for 14 days and carry out an inquiry.

“The three lads have held their hands up and said they’ve done this, and we have fined them the maximum we can fine them and they are due back in the building next week.

“(The apologies) are obviously their own actions. It’s not for us to do that. It’s disappointing, it’s a silly thing, it’s happened.

“The football club can’t condone stuff like that and we’ve done as much as we can do.

“That’s the maximum we can do and that’s what we have done, to send a message that we can’t tolerate stuff like that.”
