Norwich City have painted the away dressing room at Carrow Road pink in a move that could calm opposition players and lower their testosterone levels.

Canaries sporting director Stuart Webber informed supporters of the redecorating job at a fans' forum on Thursday evening.

The club have not made an official comment on the news but Dr Alexander Latinjak, a lecturer in sport psychology at the University of Suffolk, told BBC Sport: "Pink has an effect, not because it is pink, but because it's linked to childhood experiences.

"If it is true that pink lowers testosterone levels then the coach should know exactly how to use that advantage tactically.

"Now that teams will know about the pink locker room, they could take counter measures to ensure higher testosterone levels.
