Fact is, in this case Ferdinand made himself available to take the test 2 HOURS after his appointment and they said no because they are beaurocratic fools. If you can't see that as a failure in their system I can only assume you have an ulterior motive.
I think Rio is the fool to be honest by forgetting to turn up or do you think everyone should wait until Rio decides to turn up FFS if he can't be responceable enough to turn up on time he dervers what he gets.

Lemarsh i agree the punishments should be consistent throughout but this just yet again shows how poorly the national game of this country is run

Agreed - Rio is a fool (and probably thought he was more important than the testers) - deserves a major talking to (and money fines are wasted on their salaries) & a ban to show who is boss, and that others can expect similar treatment.

But must agree with the state of the National Game. The FA have lost the impetus, and are trying to correct it in one go. They need to go back to basics, get everyone on side, and ensure that any disiplinary actions are dealt with within 2 weeks. Joe Cole is another example, where Chelsea are being punished for a crime he committed last season for West Ham. Not fair on Chelsea (and that from a Fulham supporter!!)

Re: Rio Ferdinand

Edgar Davids - Fails drug test. Tests positve for nandrolone = 4 month ban

Jaap Stam - Fails drug test. Tests positve for nandrolone = 5 month ban

Rio Ferdinand - Misses drugs test, tests clean 2 days later = 8 Month ban

Re: Rio Ferdinand

Pity they never took a step further -

Take away all his medals and deducted United Points for some games he played and while we are at it why strip some of his England Caps and points from their qualifying games.

Back to reality the FA is as much as a laughing stock as the Justice system in this country.

Re: Rio Ferdinand

i think the penalty was too harsh they should have fined him yes he forgot but he offered to take the test at a later date

he has not been found positive for anything those who have done worse have got these types of sentences

Eric Cantona
Nine months and community service for kicking a fan

Mark Bosnich
Nine months after failing a drugs test for cocaine

Vinnie Jones
Six months (suspended for three years) and £20,000 fine for commentary in a video glorifying football violence and dirty tricks

Roy Keane
Five weeks, and £150,00 0 fine for comments made about Alfie Haaland in his autobiography

Rio Ferdinand
Eight months and £50,000 fine for failing to take a drugs test


see something wrong here ?

Re: Rio Ferdinand

I have not really paid much attention to this story (not being a MUFC fan) - what was his actual reason for not taking the test ?

His reason was that he simply forgot becuase he was moving house.

A pretty crap excuse I know, but about the same level as "I was picking my mother up from the airport"

If it was an Arsenal Player, the ban would have been imposed after the last game of the season, and finnishes before the first game of the new season!!!
