Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Kolo Toure's failed drugs test is a result of the player taking a "slimming product belonging to his wife".
The Manchester City defender, 29, has been suspended after testing positive for a specified substance.
But Toure's ex-boss Wenger has spoken to the player and said: "He wants to control his weight a little bit because that's where he has some problems.
"He has a clean life, is very honest, is always at home and is a family man."
Toure was informed by the Football Association that he failed a test taken at the Manchester derby last month where he was an unused substitute.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) defines a specified substance as one that is "more susceptible to a credible, non-doping explanation".
