I can't believe this is true until it's proven otherwise. I cannot believe he would be stupid enough to take enhancements in modern day footie with rigorous testing, whilst playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

It beggars belief & better not be ****ing true.

It feels sordid.....but I agree with gherkin

Well they could without it costing them a penny and then move for Hummels

Writing off an asset is the same as spending money though.

If true, this isn't stupidity this is a tool in the performance enhancing drugs cheating game. The only thing he did stupid was get caught, PEDs are prevalent.

The Tool/Fool/player has until Tuesday to provide a B sample.

[Buzzo]

A failed drug test!!!???

The hits just keep on coming this season. What a rollercoaster we are on.

To be fair most of his purchase cost will have been written down through the books by now.

Anyway its all speculation at this point, one wonders what the chances of a false positive are....

[TheElephantMan]

Surely if he produces a sample now then whatever it was would be out of his system? I'm not defending him or advocating taking performance enhancing drugs, just questioning how long such a drug would remain detectable?

They will have 2 samples taken at the same time.

[Frenchie]

sack him and **** him off out..hate drug cheats..goodbye Sakho

[TheElephantMan]

Sounds like he's screwed then.

[el matador]

its terrible news for us and sakho but i want to hear all the evidence first. Surely, sakho will contest this and im fairly certain the french national team will get involved too because he's a first choice centre back for them.

[Roboklopp]

Brilliant, every time we turn a corner summat stupid like this happens. Only LFC.

Kolo Toure was suspended for six months when he was a Manchester City player after taking prohibited water tablets which he claimed he got from his wife to help him slim down. City also fined the player £740,000.

Up to player if they want B sample tested, can ask to for certain things to ensure it is tested properly etc.

[shanks69]

Sounds like he's screwed then.

You don't know after all where sample 'a' was placed could have been contaminated that's why 2 samples taken
