Drugs in Football C4 8pm tonight

[PestiRed]

Dispatches doing a big reveal on how many footballers are on drugs, test results being hidden & supposedly a big name star revealed as a coke head.

 

I'm not that bothered if one or two of ours have dabbled in recreational so long as it's not performance enhancing but I'm really hoping that the club weren't involved in anything dodgy. It's hard to be confident when Hicks, Gillett & Purslow ran the club.

 

On the other hand, I'd be delighted if Utd, Spurs, 'Arry, Fat Sam & a few others were caught up in it

Some of our players were among those who didn't turn up for testing according to the Mirror. United fans will be kicking up stink if true, after what happened wobbly-gob.

 

From April 2007 to August 2010 experts cancelled 240 checks because players from clubs including *Liverpool, Manchester City and *Newcastle did not turn up.

Can't believe I'm saying this but seems to be a balanced piece in the Daily Mail

Apparently it's not compulsory to test players out of competition for recreational drugs, but they do anyway & then don't publicise the results (money well spent). Also

 

The programme also makes much of 240 ‘abandoned’ tests between April 2007 and August 2010, with testers arriving at training grounds to discover that the players targeted were not there. But these cases are not comparable with the Rio Ferdinand episode, as the clubs and players would not have known the testers were coming on that day.

 

So the missed test thing seems bollocks as well

[Antynwa]

I think the following players have been on the smack.

 

Tim Howard

 

William Gallas

 

Ryan Giggs

 

Rio Ferdinand

[Mr. Beast]

Owen Hargreaves is potentially a glue sniffer.

[redheart]

Gyan (Sunderland) or some twat from Birmingham.

 

Clichy as an outside bet

[JagSquared]

Id guess balotelli.

[Fowlers God]

I wonder if Fowler gets mentioned at all. At that point I will hurl something at the TV.

 

My guess for a big name star would be someone like Alan Smith.

[Sapiosexual]

Downing was bad for cocaine during his Middlesbrough days.

[gingerhulk]

Titus bramble. He can't be that shit at footy and get paid 20+k a week, without a reason. Defo a smack rat

[PestiRed]

Poulson is the best advert for ketamine I've ever seen

 

And I reckon this chap will just fit right in

 

 

(Sorry, can't resist posting that photo again)

[Ezekiel 25:17]

It'll be a massive high profile player from Yeovil or Accrington or Marine, word.

[Newport]

Bought it from his dad

I did an apprenticeship last year and my boss was Titus Brambles personal trainer while at Wigan. He told me that at Wigan Titus Bramble earned £41,000 per week. It was at that point, I understood the role of a football agent.

[18-5]

Everyone is fucking saying that it is Andy Carroll and I am fucking wound up about it.

[Trucker Paddy]

Gyan fucked off pretty quick didn't he

[Trumo]

Asamoah Gyan? Never!

 

 

(Might want words with Bolo though.)

[Trucker Paddy]

Dan Roan just now on twitter

 

"Premier League player who C4's Dispatches will say has failed drugs test and who they will name tonight is British."

[RobbieOR]

Im going for Phil Jones.

[Antynwa]

British?

 

IT'S RYAN FUCKING GIGGS

[Frankenhooker]

I heard earlier that it's an ex-England international.
