Mamadou Sakho

[RichC]

If this lequipe stuff is true we should be taking legal action against these cunts.

[Daffy Duck]

Are you ****in kidding??? So our key defender was banned from our Europa League semifinals and final. **** OOOOFF!!!!!!

Anyway at least it's good news he's returning.

[Exiled_red]

Doesn't really excuse the fact he was using fat burners but these supposedly weren't on the banned list.
Bit of a concern if our playing staff are restoring to popping pills.

If they're not on the banned list what's the problem?

If they aren't on the banned list how come he failed a drugs test and UEFA banned him? Someone has seriously cocked up somewhere if this is true and Sakho and/or the club could have cause to sue

[Boogs]

If they're not on the banned list what's the problem?

Because it could be seen as him gaining an advantage on false pretences. I'm not getting on any moral high horse but isn't it a form of cheating?

What's the story with the France squad? It is locked down or can changes be made (without deliberately injuring another CB?!)

Squads have to be finalised on Tuesday evening.

For me it is very simple, if the B sample is positive and he has no explanation, he should be sacked. He is supposed to be a professional athlete, not a cheat.

Nobody was crying for him to be sacked, no Liverpool fan wanted him to be guilty.

If an Athlete takes performance enhancing drugs, he should be sacked, it is known as professional cheating.

you would have sacked him when he didnt ask for a B sample to be tested

So could taking vitamin suppliments, protein shakes etc. All kinds of sports people take these types of things that aren't on any banned list. I don't see the problem with that.

How can it be gaining an advantage if every other player is free to use this unbanned substance too though?

Arguably cost us a trophy and Champions League football.

read something about a footballer getting banned or something because of his Asthma inhaler

[Daffy Duck]

I thought the investigation was whether he might have taken fat burners to cover up the use of other substances, or sth like that? I guess they will have to submit a report which will make things clearer, and a ****in compensation you CUNTS!!

[Boogs]

Some fat burners must be on the banned list though. Why are they on the list and not others? Is it to cover other drugs?
I don't know I just think it a tad strange for a sports person to take any form of pill such as a fat burner.

Eh his replacement was man of the match after all, and I doubt Sakho would have played left back :P maybe the team morale would have been better, but I doubt he would have made much of a difference to be honest

[redmike65]

Origi (and Klopp) rather than Sakho cost the final.
