England and Manchester City goalkeeper Khiara Keating has appeared in court accused of possession of cannisters of nitrous oxide, also known as “hippy crack”.
Keating, 20, stood in the dock at Manchester Magistrates' Court alongside her mother, Nicola Keating, 48, jointly charged with possession of the Class C drug, more widely known as laughing gas, in Manchester on June 18 last month. Wearing a black trouser-suit and trainers, City keeper Keating, who received her first England call-up last October and was part of the squad for the recent Euro 2025 qualifiers, spoke only to confirm her name and address.
Jonathan Potter, prosecuting, said the women are accused of the possession of nitrous oxide canisters for wrongful inhalation, an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act. Keating, of Ashton Old Road, east Manchester, kept nine clean sheets in 22 league games for City, who finished second to rivals Chelsea in the Women's Super League title race last season. She was originally on the books of Manchester United before being spotted by a City scout.
