Mutu's love of 'snow'

Apparently Adrian Mutu has admitted that he has taken cocaine, hence why I now feel free to post this thread...
Story here
His admission amy have been prompted by the FA's previous leniency for those players who have 'come clean'. Also, according to FA rules, he could avoid a ban because it is a 'recreational' drug.
Discuss.

Story.
He'll get between a six and nine month ban. Probably nine, which was the ban dished out to Mark Bosnich when he was found guilty of taking cocaine.
Cocaine is hardly a performance-enhancing drug though.
Hmm, I'm not so sure. The example I would use is Paul Merson who admitted drug abuse and was only suspending during treatment.
My article points out that Bosnich denied drug abuse and implies that is why he recieved the ban...
Which means that during 8 of the 9 months we was banned for taking charlie he continued to indulged in the very drug that got him banned.
I wonder if the football authorities will pick up on this or if he has actually done nothing wrong 'legally'.
How he spends his leisure time isn't the FA's concern.
Mutu did well for admitting it.
I still think Moaninho will use it as a way of shunting him off the wagebill.
Coke isn't performance enhancing at all and I don't even know why they bother testing for it. Same with Cannabis, if I have a joint before the footie it makes me a worse player. Saying that though half my team have a joint before the game and it makes some of them play better.
Also, did you know they are bringing in drugs tests just for amateur football? Don't know about the Sunday pub league I play in but definately the County Amateur league I play in are doing random drug tests on matchday. Now whats all that about, I guarantee if they tested all my team we wouldn't have a team anymore, none of us take performance enhancing drugs they are all recreational but we could all get banned for using drugs we use socially. Now if they are bringing this in I think i could make a fair assumption that the powers to be are actually stoned themselves.
Ask him if he had enough to go around.
But he did take something to make him feel good...
Seriously though, If I was mourino and I knew one of my team was doing coke I wouldn't order a drug test for them unless I disliked them. I would keep it on the quiet and try and help the player out, I wouldn't try get him banned from playing. But with the dispute between Mutu and Mourino, IF Mourino has ordered the drugs test its because he doesn't want him there anymore and gets away without having to pay Mutu's contract off.
Skive/Lick: I don't do coke anymore so thats not an option, now once upon a time, I would have confiscated it for his own good :angel:
