Footballer fails drug test

Post by randyandy »



As a North End supporter I am a little angry by this but as we are just a Championship side nothing will be done to help our club which is desperately in need of money. Funds they would have got if they had gone to the Playoff Final.

What he took is irrelevant, as far as I am concerned, the fact that it helped him play against us, bearing in mind a keeper doesn't just do shot stopping they also organise a teams entire defensive play, is.

Sheff Utd got compensation for Tevez should North End get compensation for them using a drug cheat?

This is a can of worms that the FA seems content to let lie [he
said, massively mixing his metaphors...].

I'm not sure that a cold remedy would help a goalkeeper that much in organising a team's entire defensive play. It depends how bad the cold was I suppose and how well the remedy worked.

Cold-remedies usually include sedatives/soporifics- so the effects
would probably be disadvantageous.

If the remedy made him available for the game James then it in turn helped put him in a position to organise the entire teams defensive play.

Never understood why some drugs that enable someone to play when otherwise they couldn't are illegal, yet others aren't, but give the same result.

eg. Cold cure remedy = bad, pain killing injection = OK.

Good point- there's little consistency or logic in the FA's approach.

What makes this situation even more absured is the cold cure he took comes in both a pill and a liquid form.

He took the pill, but had he taken the liquid version of the remedy then he would not have broken the rules.

2 forms of the same product, yet 1 is illegal where as another is legal.
