    i never buy the "i didn't know" excuse,from any athlete, deserves his ban if true, but their all at it in fairness

    Couldn't agree more.

    If football is yourlife, your career, your job, surely you'd check with the club or their doctor before taking anything at all?

    If he's spoken to the club and they are leaving him out during the investigation then i'd say he told them he's guilty.
    Ye'd wonder why a pro footballer that looks after themselves would need fat burners mid season. Sorry to see this, he was looking really good for us and improving every game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,223 ✭✭✭marklazarcovic


    id say fat burners is just the name of the pills that the target drugs their after are in

    Six months.

    Well I guess if you're gonna fail one April time is a good time!

    At least it is just a Sakho thing and the club are not implicated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,911 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    Steady on now, he wasn't snorting crack!

    I'd rather he was. If this is true he has let the club down massively and if he wasn't so popular there would be more anger

    Bigtime. Europa semi final and an important player missing through this. Ridiculous carry on.

    I wouldn't know the first thing about sport science and such, but am I right in assuming that "fat burners" is a lot more sinister than just plain old diet pills?......in other words, is fat burners basically point to Sakho taking performance enhancing drugs? I mean I like the guy but if he did that his contract should probably be voided......cant have that hanging round the club.......I mean, if he did take performance enhancing drugs its premeditated etc.......man, I hate football sometimes.

    Wouldn't rule out both just yet....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,328 ✭✭✭Magico Gonzalez


    Idiot. He has jeopardised the club's progress in Europe and quite frankly anyone who considering him captain or vice captain material after this is smoking some good sh1t.

    Gone for the season. Moron.

    Obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed.

    For me he has to do a lot to win back the trust of the fans and team. Luckily Lovren has stabilised his form.

    Yeah can see the club taking a serious line with him.

    Rightly so.

    If it's all true obviously


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,646 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    I hope it was just an honest mistake. Cant believe he'd do this on purpose


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭galwaylad14


    I suppose the interesting thing will be if it comes out that this is just an isolated case or if this is endemic at Liverpool. Could be more to come out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    See how long it takes for people to change it from fat burners to steroids.

    Lads are outdoing themselves. Drooling all over themselves in at least three different threads.

    Ah yeah the good aul "I was spiked" defense.

    Benefit of the doubt here lads, he could very well have taken something that was prescribed to treat a particular ailment.

    Doesn't matter. It's up to the individual athlete to check that whatever he's putting in his body isn't on the banned substance list regardless of who prescribed it for him. At best it's a careless/lazy/honest mistake which he'll get 6 months for. At worst it's something he;s been doing regularly or is part of a deliberate program to enhance performance/reduce fat etc in which case they'll throw the bloody book at him.

    Jaysus, that's some start for ye.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Glass hasn't been injured in a month, is he on something?


  • Posts: 17,925 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The timing. The run. The takedown. The turn. The shot.

    All perfect.

    Mr Glass Best In The Business.

    Should he not be given the benefit of the doubt? We've had 'idiot' and 'prick' in this page alone this is the same Sakho who is a Dortmund Hero.

    I would be very dissapointed were it true though. Either way, disaster, he's a very important player.

    Same people are probably regular contributors to the Toure love in.

    Only if there is actual doubt. Once a blood test comes up positive there's very little room for doubt. Yes he can ask for the "B" sample to be tested but he's clutching at straws that somehow his "A" sample was contaminated and his "B" sample will be clean.

    Only two outcomes here:-

    1. It's a genuine stupid/careless mistake. He puts his hands up, apologies to everyone and does his 6 months in good grace whilst working his boll0ck$ off helping the U21's or Youth squads or even local charities etc.

    2. He's been caught red handed implementing a premeditated cheating program in which case the club has to terminate his contract and fire him. End of.
