Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has failed a drugs test, according to a report.

The 23-year-old has had a long-standing issue with breaching the NFL's policy on substance abuse as he was banned for two games at the start of the 2013 campaign, before recording an All-Pro season.

Gordon was arrested last year for driving while impaired, which led to a year's suspension that was later reduced to 10 matches, but he struggled to find his form for the Browns in the last six games of the season.

The receiver has allegedly failed another drugs test due to having alcohol in his system, which will carry a suspension for one season from the league, reports ESPN.

Gordon has recorded 161 receptions for 2,753 yards and 14 touchdowns in his three-year career in the NFL.
