On a serious note though. How quick must the police have got there for him to get arrested when walking back in having just left? amazing.
Exactly. I smell a rat

In Russia now apparently. Did not know that.
Probably not the best country for a thirsty young man
He mentions Levy tracking him down while on holidays - wasn't there a rumour about a fiasco involving Caulker on Joe Lewis' yacht? Wonder if that was the trigger for Levy to get involved.
Making a story like his public can be of immense help - admitting the problems. Hopefully he can get the support he needs to enjoy life as much as he can.That is hard to read. And hits close to home, for very personal reasons.
He's only 25, though. His demons are his own, and his mistakes are his own...but his successes are also his own, and what makes him a decent person despite all that is also his own.
On a human level, he is just starting out in life, and 25 is still stupidly young if you look beyond the ultra-competitive world of top-flight football. Hell, a plurality of young people in the West today are still either just starting out in the job market or have only just finished their education at 25. He definitely has the time to fight his demons - he only needs the support to do so, which it sounds like he's getting now.
In terms of his career, it shouldn't really be the most important thing in his life right now - but 25 is still plenty young enough to recover from his past and forge a decent career at the top level, if he feels capable of doing so. Especially for a center-back - his prime is still ahead of him, and will last longer than the prime ages of players further forward or on the flanks.
I hope his story doesn't have a sad ending, and, above all, I hope he finds the peace he needs to truly realize how much he means to the people around him.
And, although I don't think these demons are the sort that you can ever get permanently rid of...I hope he wins his battles with them enough to go to sleep at night without the torture that accompanies them.
