The mystery woman at the centre of the bizarre incident, described locally as a Brit, is said to have annoyed the footballer and his wife by taking pictures and video of them without their consent inside the unnamed nightspot.

There has not yet been any official comment from the Civil Guard.

It is not clear if Nathaniel, who served a three-month ban after failing a drug test for cocaine in July 2020 when he was still at Cardiff City, remains in Majorca.

Mendez-Laing helped Cardiff win promotion to the Premier League in his first season with the club but had his contract terminated for breach of contract in September 2020 one month after he was suspended by the FA.

He admitted to taking cocaine the night before a match against Bristol City.

The FA later revealed Mendez-Laing served a three-month ban after a positive drugs test having taken cocaine ‘in a context unrelated to sporting performance’.

A statement at the time read: ‘Cocaine is classified as a prohibited substance in-competition by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), therefore Nathaniel Mendez-Laing was charged by the FA for a breach of its Anti-Doping regulations and provisionally suspended on 14 August 2020.

‘Nathaniel Mendez-Laing admitted the charge but was able to explain that the substance had been ingested out-of-competition in a context that was unrelated to sporting performance.’

The footballer had already served a ban for taking the Class A substance once before in 2019.
