A state trooper saw Larin's Cadillac and pulled him over, the report stated.

An oncoming car stopped a few feet in front of Larin's vehicle, "averting" a head-on collision, troopers said.

He blew a .179 and a .182 on sobriety tests. The legal limit is .08.

Larin will undergo an assessment by MLS' Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program doctors, according to a statement released by MLS.

"He will not be eligible to participate in any competition or team activity until that assessment is complete, he is cleared for participation by the SABH Program doctors and MLS completes its investigation," the statement read. "Major League Soccer will remain in close communication with Orlando City SC, local law enforcement, and the MLS Players Union during this investigation."

MLS players in similar situations in the past have missed three or four games.

Orlando City followed the league's comment by saying all players, coaches and front office staff are held to a high standard because they represent the Orlando community and that the club is "very disappointed in Cyle Larin's actions…and does not take this situation lightly."

FHP released dash cam footage from his arrest.

Larin's car can be seen going the wrong way, passing vehicles and nearly hitting a vehicle head on as he stopped for the trooper. He was not speeding, according to troopers, and pulled over right away.

He told the trooper the car nearly hit him.

"You're on the wrong side of the road," the trooper replied.

Larin responded that he didn't know that and he was from Canada.

At first he told the trooper he did not have anything to drink, but later said he had two or three.

He was with a female passenger. They said they were coming from Club ONO in downtown Orlando.

"I play for Orlando City," he told the trooper. "I was just trying to drive her home."

FHP Sgt. Kim Montes said Larin was cooperative throughout the investigation and did not try to use his status as a soccer star to get out of the arrest.

He did ask to make a phone call to the team's security staff.

"They just work for us, so if we get pulled over, we can call them so we can sort out the situation," he said.

Montes said there are too many options for drivers today such as ride sharing or taxi's to be driving impaired.

She said the situation could have ended up worse than it did.

"If he had continued driving the wrong way down Orange Avenue we very well could have had a head-on collision," she said. "The trooper was at the right place at the right time … and luckily prevented a crash."

His eyes were bloodshot and glossy, troopers said, and he had "difficulty" answering their questions. Larin also struggled to complete the field sobriety exercises.

22-year-old Cyle Larin, who is one of Orlando City's star soccer players, was arrested early Thursday, June 15, 2017, after driving the wrong way on an Orlando street, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

He was taken to the Orange County Jail, where he has since bonded out. He had nothing to say to reporters.

Records show Larin had to complete a four-hour drivers training course twice — once after a speeding ticket in 2015 and a second earlier this year after failing to follow a traffic device. Both offenses occurred in Orange County.

Orlando City selected Larin No. 1 overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. He signed a professional contract after playing two years at the University of Connecticut.

Larin immediately delivered for the Lions, scoring 17 goals in their inaugural MLS season on his way to being named 2015 Rookie of the Year.

He followed that up with 14 goals in 2016, solidifying himself as one of the league's most productive strikers and garnering significant interest from clubs overseas. Though transfer rumors swirled during the offseason, Larin insisted it was not yet time to leave Orlando and returned to the city for the 2017 MLS season.

A soft-spoken young player who rarely draws attention outside of the pitch, Larin is on pace to break his previous scoring record. He has eight goals in 15 games so far
