Miami Dolphins offensive line coach Chris Foerster has resigned after video emerged of him snorting white power and claiming he was on his way into a meeting.
‘I am resigning from my position with the Miami Dolphins and accept full responsibility for my actions,’ read the 55-year-old Foerster’s statement. ‘I want to apologize to the organization and my sole focus is on getting the help that I need with the support of my family and medical professionals.
In the video a man who has been identified as Foerster seems to be speaking to a woman and saying how much he misses her.
He then says: ‘I’m about to go into a meeting but I’m going to do this before I go,’ before using a $20 bill to snort the substance.
‘We were made aware of the video late last night and have no tolerance for this behavior,’ the team said in a statement. ‘After speaking with Chris this morning, he accepted full responsibility and we accepted his resignation effective immediately. Although Chris is no longer with the organization, we will work with him to get the help he needs during this time.’
The Miami Dolphins are currently looking into a video that appears to show their offensive line coach Chris Foerster snorting an unknown powdery substance before a meeting for work. Foerster is pictured on May 31
It isn’t clear how old the video is, but it was shared online by a woman named Kijuana Nige who claims to have dated Foerster in the past.
‘I really don’t do this often but… since it’s NFL Sunday let’s talk about these coaches folks,’ the 33-year-old model wrote in the Facebook post.
A few hours later she explained her reasoning for sharing the video, writing: ‘Those are his habits and he recorded himself and sent it to me professing his love.’
In comments she has hinted that she might have additional footage.
Foerster, who will turn 56 on Thursday, has a salary valued between $2.5 million and $3 million per season, according to ESPN.

Nige claims she shared the video to Facebook because it’s NFL Sunday, and said that Foerster repeatedly professed his love for her. She also claims that she has more footage in some of the comments, though it is unclear if that is true

A Dolphins source told a Cover 32 reporter that the video was taken from inside the Dolphins’ offices.
In the video Foerster speaks into the camera and says: ‘It’ll be a while before we can do this again. Because I know you have to keep that baby. But I think about you when I do it. I think about how much I miss you. How we got high together, how much fun it was.’
After he’s finished snorting the substance he gathers the rest with his finger before putting it in his mouth and saying: ‘I wish I was licking this off your p****.’
The clip, which lasts 56 seconds in total, has already circulated on Facebook and Twitter, along with other social media sites.

Foerster, who is in his second season of his second run with the dolphins, did not respond to ESPN’s request for comment.
Promoted in February to run game coordinator and offensive line coach, Foerster has 34 years of coaching experience having worked with eight different NFL franchises since starting with the Minnesota Vikings in 1992.
Foerster previously served as the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator in 2004, a season in which Miami ranked 28th in scoring out of 32 teams. The Colorado State alum has not risen above the rank of offensive line coach since.
Assistant offensive line coach Chris Kuper is expected to replace Foerster.
