if there is one organisation i hate with every nanogram of my body and soul it is wada. they imposed themselves on all sports without invitation and continue to act in ways that defy all common sense and rational behaviour. i'm against doping in sports, but wada take it to the kind of relentless authoritarian extremes that the kgb, the stasi, and the mccarthyist activists of the 20th century could have only dreamed of emulating.

So november he can train
Realistically
He wont be match fit till december onwards

In a way its worse than a bad injury as hes been outside of any professional stuff for 12 months

Could be half the player he was
Who knows

Tonali was banned albeit for betting not drug related, not that it matters what the offence was, and he returned to training exactly after 10 months when his ban ended, and was in a match day squad within a further 10 days. So my guess is he'll be back playing mid November.

Tonali was allowed to train and play in friendlies whereas Zambrano’s ban prevents him from taking part in any footballing activity, including training. He’ll have been keeping fit, but he’ll have much more catching up to do than Tonali did.

Again I ask, where has this been reported? People keep saying it but I don't know where it's come from.

3. Sanctions
An Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) will have an impact on an Athlete’s ability to train and compete. For coaches and other Athlete support personnel, a ban may mean that they are no longer able to work with Athletes. A sanction resulting from an ADRV can range from a warning to a lifetime ban from all sport.

It is also important to note that individuals banned in the sport will also be prohibited from competing, coaching or working with Athletes in any other capacity in a different sport.

Beyond the legal consequences, an increasing amount of public authorities and governments have adopted legislations that treat doping as a criminal act. Consequently, in addition to being ineligible to coach or compete, you may face criminal charges in your country. Depending on the National legislation and the degree of the violation, charges can lead to fines, social service requirements and even incarceration.

He can resume training two months before his ban ends, according to the UEFA rules I posted yesterday.

I don't know what to say, when he was playing we weren't that good, but also those were TW times.

That seems to be talking about coaches, and it's a very crude-looking website for the International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football.
 
Absolutely 100% I’d sign Zam, by next summer we’d get some cracking offers for him way more than 3.5 mil…
 
All that time we spent debating the length of the ban, when we'd get him back, how many millions we'd make selling him on and we don't exercise the option <laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>

You couldn't make it up.

What a life it is being a Hull City fan.

In fairness I don’t think they’d say either way as the window isn’t open. The clause will still be active to be exercised
