Another player tested positive for cocaine

FA bans unnamed player for drugs
The Football Association has banned an unnamed player for six months after he twice tested positive for cocaine.
The player first returned a positive finding early in 2004 and appeared before a disciplinary hearing in August of the same year.

He was ordered to reappear in April 2005 while his case was reviewed but was caught again when drug-testers swooped between October and December.

UK Sport claim the player received his ban and a fine in December.

In a similar case, another unnamed player has been given a suspended six-month ban after twice testing positive for marijuana.

He was due to re-appear before a disciplinary commission in September 2004 after returning a positive finding but he too was target-tested and was found to have used the drug again.

The FA have given him a conditional suspension of six months, suspended for two years.

"Neither the player who tested positive for cocaine nor the one who tested positive for marijuana are big names - both play for Football League rather than Premier League clubs and both are understood to be squad players rather than first-team regulars."

Yaro, there was no way it could have been a player from Chelsea, or any other Premiership club. The quote that Tez posted clearly stated that the penalised players came from Football League clubs. Plus, they were more than likely reserve team randoms when compared to Football League stars such as Ian Westlake, Mart Poom, and Nick Barmby.

In other words, no-one would be lining up to buy these players in Football Manager.

I think it was Roy Carroll.

The way that white line behind him magically disappeared in the final minute of the Spurs game... Throw the book at him.

How is he anonymous? Isn't somebody going to notice that a player is gone for six months?

"Knee injury"

'betcha it's an Exeter player partying up after that infamous game

 

[TOON ARMY]

Rumours have it that the culprit is a Rushden and Diamonds player.

If the player is a squad player then it'll be hard to notice that he has disappeared for 6 months.
