True, but looking at it another way, its a recreational drug not performance enhancing. I also read elsewhere that other premiership players have tested positive for coke and not been suspended so you could say he was harshly treated.

Plus I suppose the way the FA are looking at it, is they have to give a longer sentence for missing the test because if they didn't then players would say "oh i might be positive, i'll just forget about the test and take the shorter sentence."

If he sorts his life out and works hard over the next 7 months he will be a bargain for who ever picks him up on the free.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Rio gets 8 months just for not turning up and Mutu takes drugs and gets 7.. where's the logic in that other than one plays for Man U and the other doesn't.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

The logics above, as Gaz pointed out :rolleyes:

Mutu hasn't indulged in a performance enhancing drug, he took cocaine which doesn't exactly enhance anything. Rio didn't turn up for a drugs test, which imo indicates he did have some kind of performance enhancing drug.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Rio took the drugs test 24 hours later. He passed it and I don't thnk waiting a day will have any affect on a drugs test. Also look at Italy and Russia and that where players have been banned for 4 months for using performance drugs.

I think for a recreation drug this ban is probably too long

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Or indicates he simply forgot as he had other things on his mind that day, such as moving home...

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

anyway who cares abt the ban ;)

more pressing matetrs at hand here like...

my boys against Lazio :D

Come on the 'boro' :D:D:D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

suddenly realises why PY666 is not logged in - I bet he's gone to the match, good luck guys.

P.S. Couldn't Mutu get a temporary job as a lines man ;)

What paid for his house? His footballing career.

Drugs are took very seriousley in sport, and to an even greater extent in football. If you worked for a office, and forgot to file an important report that lost you a contract you'd be severly reprimanded, same as in football, although to a much greater extent since its higher profile.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

well that was well too easy for my boys.....i was rather disapointed that Lazio couldn't pass the ball or play like a team :rolleyes: would of got a better game if we had played a non league team. Any how another 3 points and another step towards lifting the cup :D I would of liked to of seen us score a few more i think it really should of been a t least 4 - 0


Gibson's army is marching on!!!!!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
