Ali, of Trueway Road, Leicester, admitted possessing Viagra with intent to supply it when he was not authorised to do so, on October 11 last year.

In mitigation, the court heard it was an amateur attempt by Ali to make a profit, but he was caught before he actually sold any.

He was given a six-month jail sentence, suspended for 12 months, and ordered to complete 80 hours of unpaid work.
