Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has been fined by Swedish authorities after a drugs test found traces of Cocaine in his blood.
The troubled rock star was performing at the Hultsfred Music Festival in Sweden on Friday 16th June where he was detained after police suspected the Babyshambles star of being under the influence.
Blood tests later revealed traces of cocaine and tranquillisers in Doherty's system, although police found nothing in his possession.
He was fined 14,000 kroner (£1,030) before being released. Another unnamed Babyshambles band member was also fined the same amount for the same offence.
Police spokesman Ulf Karlsson said, "He was not in possession of any illegal drugs, so he will not face other charges."
Doherty checked himself into a rehabilitation clinic in Portugal earlier this month in a desperate bid to get himself clean.
