He's going to get two years imo. There's been slot in the press over the past year with doping and considering the massive stink that was kicked up with the Russian federation, Sharapova and the recent press coverage I believe they'll make an example of him. Shame really bit I is his own fault.

Yep ... not a lot we can do about it either way .... It is what it is and what will be will be .... time to move on

I can't see it. The punishment very rarely fits the crime in modern football. There will be some money exchanged in an indirect manner; he'll get six months, a couple of weeks wages docked and a slap on the wrist.

I'd be happy if it plays out like that ... I like the guy, we can stick by him, he can pay us back on the pitch

When's the hearing?

All depends on his explanation. He's guaranteed to get some reduction in sentence for admitting the charge and not requesting the B sample is tested. If he deliberately took them then they start at 4 years before applying reductions. If it was a complete accident (e.g. contaminated legal supplements) then they start at 2 years before applying them.

I'd imagine he'll play dumb and get 6 months to a year, but it all depends on what story he has.

The whole thing as usual seems like a farce

[vlahka]

Lifetime ban for not only doping but fat shaming too. Such a monster.

[poorscousertommy]

Do we have any idea on when this is going to be announced?

I presume any ban he gets will have the time served on parole taken off?

[gratziani]

I guess that as well , with the club not picking him and the summer break he could be back in time for October if he gets 6 months
