They are. The point i was trying to get at was would sleeping pills raise any kind of alarm or just be thought of as a guy trying to get good regular rest which could be a good thing..

High-level athletes should be by default be
sleeping easily and regularly (their physical
exertions should ensure that) . So by definition
needing to take sleeping pills should ring
alarm bells (if/when personnel are aware the
athlete is consuming such) .
It does have to be said that sleeping pills have a much shorter half life in your system than other substances, so can go under the radar in blood or urine tests as a result
Ambien, for example, shows up in blood tests for 6-18 hours and urine tests for 24-48, while in comparison cocaine shows up for 2 and 3 days respectively while steroids are anything from 7-10 days to a month (thank you bodybuilding forums for making that last example very easy to research...)
Probably quite difficult for footballers, I'd have thought.
Games starting anywhere from noon to 10pm, plus travel.
I'm sure a lot of their other activities don't help, either.
With incredibly depressing predictability, we're already seeing Dele's interview being weaponised by Benjamin Mendy defenders using the logic, and this is a direct quote I've seen a few slight variations on, "Dele ruined his career, but a woman ruined Mendy's"
The interesting point is it seems a lot of Man Utd fans are vocally coming out on Mendy's side while stating this absolute bollocks. Now why would Man Utd fans be so aggressively trying to suggest that a woman's word is not worth a tenth of the word of a footballer who happens to play in Manchester? Does anybody have one or two suggestions...?

Few games should be ending 10pm local time
(and those that do are usually cup games with ET) .
For away teams, I assume that "red eye" evening /
early morning travel is not done nowadays.
This is more an issue with European football, where matches would end at 10pm GMT - even when teams were playing Spartak Moscow or Qarabag, which are +2 and +3 respectively
i thought it was common knowledge that lots of footballers use sleeping pills on a regular basis .
What is the dividing line between regular use and addiction, very small I would guess, after a bike accident I became a regular "user" of Codine and it took years to realise that it was not normal to carry on like that , at no time did the doctor refuse my prescription and it was months of cold turkey to get off them
Knowledge of it does not explain the rationale for it.
Methinks knowing the rationale is very important.
Absolutely, but the problem comes when like Dele said the player self administers , the money these players earn it is very easy for them to get a script from a willing source , the authorities should be looking very hard at thisthey want to go to sleep
do you mean the football authorities because cannot see the legal authorities being that interested ,
yes, the large pharmaceutical companies would never let any government near their cash cows
i agree with your post but i was thinking more on the grounds footballers abusing sleeping pills is pretty low in the problems this country has
Considering last week the biggest issue this country had was "Man has an Onlyfans account", I wouldn't undersell the issue quite yet...i agree with your post but i was thinking more on the grounds footballers abusing sleeping pills is pretty low in the problems this country has
Yeah, but when you take out all of the ones that they're not even attempting to solve...i agree with your post but i was thinking more on the grounds footballers abusing sleeping pills is pretty low in the problems this country has
they need a simpler problem than this to fix say something like umm
nope can't think of anything simple enough for them to actually fix .
Has Madnads actually resigned yet
