Zesco United defender Zachariah Chilongoshi has been released from custody by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC).
This will enable the player attend to Zesco’s CAF Confederation Cup assignment against Gabonese side FC 105 on Sunday.
Chilongoshi was picked on Sunday night at a lodge in Ndola and transported to Lusaka where he was held until late yesterday.
The DEC is understood to be clamping down on drug abuse among sports men and women across all disciplines.
In the late 1990s, FIFA banned a Zambian striker for testing positive for using a prohibited substance during an international match.
