No doubt the morons over in Trafford will be whingeing about Ferdinand again though.
lol probably
It was the morons down the King's Road who started whingeing first.
kenyon is a cunt.
Yup they did. In fact they sacked him before the fa even had a hearing over it :rolleyes:
Though apparently 4 clubs are after Mutu already with 2 of them reportedly english clubs
I wouldnt mind him coming to the Gunners tbh
Although today's Metro suggests Chelsea are ready to sue Mutu for lost transfer revenue. You shouldn't have sacked him should you moron?!?!!?
He won't go to Tottenham if the comments attributed to Arsene Wenger are accurate.
:wave:
I'm going to have a bit of a whinge. Although I do agree, in part, with what the Leeds scummer has said.
There would be a disincentive to take the test, if a player thought that he would get a shorter ban by not taking the test, than by testing positive. But that argument misses an important point. Rio did take a test which came through clear. That was part of the reason he *only* got eight months.
Here we have a player who failed a test, denied that he had taken anything. Then in a cynical PR exercise admitted it and tried to portray himself as a victim.
Now we can go down the whole "recreational" issue, but there isn't a difference. Drugs affect the brains function, it doesn't matter how you describe then - recreational/performance enhancing - that is their function. So whatever drug is taken it will affact performance.
Mutu is guilty of a serious offence. Just like Stam was, Davids and numerous others.
FIFA says that it wants a tough stance and yet the biggest ban we have seen recently isn't for taking "performance enhancing" drugs, nor for Mutu. But for a player missing a test.
Sounds like a screwy world to me...
I've tried playing football the night after taking coke and I was dreadfull, my head was in bits and I couldn't concentrate on the game. I've tried playing football coming straight from a party where I'd had numurous pills and once again I had a nightmare and the ball just bounced off me everytime I got near it. A lot of my team smoke skunk before games but if I have a joint before a game it just kills me, especially first thing sunday morning.
So although I agree it affects performance it affects it imo in a bad way and Mutu will never have had an advantage if he'd being snorting coke the night before, he would no doubt being nowhere near as good a player as he has proved to be in the past.
And how long does cocaine stay in the bloodstream?
It's very easy to "forget" to take a test then take one a week later and it "prove" that you were clean when you were not.
Bosnich. Nine months.
Well that's why Chelsea called the test- Mutu wasn't training properly.
