FFS Astro, don't you start too. If you drew a graph where x = facetious and b = irrelevant, then your vertex has just equalled crass stupidity.
Points I'd agree with on here: 1) he's a double ended dildo, ribbed for her pleasure... And hers too. 2) why he took the pill (assuming it was of free will) doesn't make much difference. Maybe some, but not much. 3) it's not as serious as steroids but any cheat is a cheat. He deserves a ban. I hope for clubs sake it is short.
Don't think anyone on here disagrees with point 3. It's like a lot of crimes, there is a sliding scale of seriousness. Even in football itself, red card is a suspension.. but a red for tripping while last man isn't as serious so only carries a 2 game ban, compared to punching a player which carries a far longer ban. Yes he deserves to be banned, but if it is just diet pills and was no hidden agenda, then it's not the worse type of drug he could have been taken..
But wtf? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...it-face-Manchester-City-second-leg-clash.html ! Remember when I said about Lasse Virren in the 70's? There'll come a day when the super rich clubs' players will be able to buy a new leg or suchlike, like that thing in Starship Troopers, if you remember that. Or simply buy them from Chinese villagers and Indonesian trackers and have them grafted onto injured players. That day can't come quick enough; especially for Studge.
Will his ban start after the 30 suspension or will it be back dated.. Hoping for the best, fearing the worst.. Either way, he's bought this on himself.. Stupidity in the extreme!
So he misses the end of the season and pretty much nothing else. In fact he should be back in time for the French squad (might miss a friendly) and the Euros. So is everybody feeling less pitchfork and flaming Torches? Its a blow, but no less than a player getting an injury or a player getting a ban.
Isn't the 30 day suspension just so they have a bit of time to work on a final decision for the length of the actual ban?
True, just read that part. My mistake, 6 months looks to be the standard. That would mean October return.
