    The rules state that if 2 or more players from the same side are found to have been taking PEDs then the team will face punishment with games rules as void.

    However, they only test a maximum of 2 players per game so the odds on that acutally happening are slim.

    These fat burners are durietics and commonly used as masking agents by dopers in other sports btw.

    Most illegal fat burners, such as DNP, Ephedrine, etc, were banned because they can be dangerous. Many of them increase heart rate - which can lead to irregular heart beat - and increase blood pressure too.

    Best of the legal ones, IMO, is Acetyl L Carnitine. Although a stack of caffeine will do the job for you too...

    Exactly bloody stupid law yet again.

    But here's the point, what difference does it make IN A TEAM sport if 1 person cheats or 3?

    Mate the idea that someone takes a fat burning drug (a categorised PED) and it won't have any impact on his/her performance is numbnuts crazy. Why the fck else would you take it <laugh>

    If without it he would have been a yard slower or tired earlier in the game, how the fck has that not impacted on every team he's played against?

    I never said anything other. The rules are plain dumb.

    I said on another thread that UEFA did a study on testosterone levels and found that nearly 8% of EL and CL players had abnormally high testosterone levels - a sign of anabolic steroid abuse.

    The fat burners are making agents for steroids, and yet football seems to be ignoring the correlation. Funny that.

    Sakho will not contest the result of his positive drug test, according to the Press Association, and has instead accepted the initial result.

    The centre-back has not been banned by Liverpool <ok>

    He was banned from playing for the club as soon as they found out about the failed sample Trebs?

    Unless you mean he hasn't been sacked, but considering he hasn't been banned by Uefa or had his hearing yet why would LFC sack him?

    Surely, if he's admittedly guilty, that constitutes gross misconduct. Liverpool would be well within their rights to show him the door.

    I totally agree, but what if his punishment from Uefa is only a reprimand rather than a ban?

    The club has a big financial investment in Sakho and will probably wait for his punishment to be sorted before deciding on his club punishment/sacking.

    I read the club has not banned him, instead he was not available for selection while the investigation was going on. Surely if the investigation is over as he's admitted charges then the club need to make a decision.

    Or maybe my last post was just me being astro <whistle>

    Personally, I think the whole ****ing city should have a drugs test. Apparently, they seem to think that next year they will win something! :biggrin:

    but Spurs are a big club now so the fact they haven't won anything for "ages" makes them the same as Liverpool and United and Arsenal who are big clubs that have won **** all for "ages"***



    ***Spurs "ages" is 1991 FA Cup and 1961 for league but they are a big club. Liverpool, United and Arsenal have all won many major honours in the period 1961 to 1991 and in the period 1991 to 2016 but our "ages" in the Spurs way of thinking are somehow longer :)
