Sanchez absent on drug test

Mo is defo on the juice

Mo gets all of his super human power from eating Quorn.

Honest, he does.

I'd be surprised if there was a human among all that juice, he's a walking PED

Didn't Rio Ferdinand get a massive ban just for missing one?

Yes but wasn't that before 2009, before the new whereabouts rule system, that allows three missed/12 months?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Bit of a non-story this. You're allowed two missed tests before you get pinged. Given that he was moving clubs on the day they wanted to test him it's not that surprising he wasn't at his whereabout location.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Only amounts to a ban if you miss three in twelve months.

 

[Death]

I hope he gets sent to Goodison park and booed for a season.

Have mercy mate.

would've thought it'd make up part of the medical as well, certainly from Utd's perspective.

For sure, but I was under the impression this is a third party agent doing some testing rather than United's doctors. Testing is pretty weak in football either way so it would take a pretty major cock up to catch someone.

Disgusting! Deserves a season long loan to Everton.

To be honest I can’t believe there isn’t a drugs issue in football. Every other major sport has had issues with it. Footballers are some of the thickest most vice ridden people yet amazingly not one of them has ever taken performance enhancers (apparently). 100s of millions are flowing round the game yet not one of these money grabbing agents, clubs, or players has ever tried to get a competitive edge.

I just don’t believe it.

Genuinely wish some of our current crop got juiced right up. Anything to get a performance out of them.

Was going to say this....its not worked at efc has it? See Leicester for how to do it properly

 

[SerenityNigh]

You can get away with it sometimes can't you?

Didn't Mo Farah just say he couldn't hear them knocking on his door to get off with missing one once?

I assume IAAF testing and USATF testing are similar; I remember a Baylor coach recounting the testing that Michael Johnson underwent... the testers watch you provide the sample... and they come first thing in the morning too.

So many of them they get paid extraordinary amounts for playing in leagues where the majority do not actually win anything. It's not like other competitive sports such as athletics where individual success is one of the only ways to gain actual large amounts of money.

It's simply not worth it for most footballers as the financial rewards they can gain are more than enough without them.

They’re the same population of people who literally only have to stay fit for about 15 years yet still smoke, drink, and eat takeaways. Lots of them have a gambling problem, lots of them can’t stay faithful, but all of them are seemingly immune to the allure of drugs. Miraculous.
