Tim S Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I know who it is. Its not a huge name player though. When I found out who it was I even had to google who he played for as I didnt know.
Tins Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I know who it is. Its not a huge name player though. When I found out who it was I even had to google who he played for as I didnt know. You sure this isn't another guy? Top prem footballer, multi million pound deal etc?
Redhyde Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 There was a huge story about a Premier League footballer having an affair, then the big reveal turned out to be Gary Flitcroft.... If it was a really really big star we'd have had the Giggs situation.
Longacre_red Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Gary o'connor's name also being circulated...
Roger Red Hat Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Gary o'connor's name also being circulated... Who?
Tim S Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 You sure this isn't another guy? Top prem footballer, multi million pound deal etc? Yes he was in a multi-million pound deal. A pretty big one too. But that still doesnt make him one of the big name players. And as someone previously mentioned, if he really was one of the bigger stars then Im sure this would have come out long before now.
screech Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Why isn't the player banned for substance abuse if he was found positive?
Chivs Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Yes he was in a multi-million pound deal. A pretty big one too. But that still doesnt make him one of the big name players. And as someone previously mentioned, if he really was one of the bigger stars then Im sure this would have come out long before now. Does his first name start with an "A"?
David Brent Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Why isn't the player banned for substance abuse if he was found positive? Yes. And the 'dozens' of others who've failed but been kept quiet by the FA.
Nibor Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 They've been doing a shitty job as journalists if they can only find one player in the Prem on the columbian marching powder.
redsince1994 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I was reading a Spurs forum earlier and the Mods were under the impression it was of there players but wouldn't give the name out just in case All they said was theres only 1 "E" in their name Assou-Ekotto? (I'm not saying this is who it is just a blind guess.)
i hate you butler Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Assou-Ekotto? (I'm not saying this is who it is just a blind guess.) aaron lennon ???
Barrs Court Red Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 We won't see any "big" stories now untill just before the euros.
Barrs Court Red Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Same player linked to heroine and some very unsavoury characters?
Tins Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Seem's like Gary O'Connor. Poor poor story, not a top Premier League player!
Tins Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Now named ex gas player Elvis Hammond! And also another ex gas Lee Thorpe took drugs!
hinsleburg Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 Massive anti-climax if it is him, I was getting excited for a scandal. Shame

Snufflelufagus Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Totally rubbish program. Basically player A or player B may or may not have been taking performance inhancing drugs.
Tins Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I know who it is. Its not a huge name player though. When I found out who it was I even had to google who he played for as I didnt know. Was it your player?
Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 So the fact that for instance some players are never tested and the average test is once every 2 years, the FA and selling clubs don't have to disclose that a player has been banned for drugs, that the club and FA collude in making up stories as to why players are unavailable to play because of covert bans, the fact that in the case of the steroids players A and B the tester actually needed more samples but the FA cleared the players without any explanation is not of any interest?. The FA obviously dosen't want players to be caught and probably why most football drug cheats are not caught and certainly not dealt with as severely as drugs cheats in other sports.

Was it eight months that Ferdinand got for just missing the test ? Makes you think there's something in it when Ferguson says Man Utd are picked upon.
Greedo Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Complete non-story. The papers will sensationalize anything. Most of these guys are in their twenties, I'm sure there are a few Prem players who've had a sniff before. It's nothing to get excited about.
nebristolred Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Billie Joe looks like hes had several ounces in that pic.

Would you feel the same had BCFC paid good money for a player who had tested positive for cocaine and the selling club and the FA who have already colluded to cover this up and then believe that it is OK for the buying club not to be let in to this secret?.

Fair point, I didn't didn't realise that the incident had been covered up by the selling club and the FA. You're right, the club should probably have been informed.

chipdawg Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I know from someone who used to work in corporate hospitality at a former Premier League club in Yorkshire who had success in the Champions League about 10 years ago, that use of a white, powdery recreational drug was common in the toilets of the players lounge after matches- even when directors, etc, were present. There were 2 well-known indivduals in particuar who had a 'problem' with it, though i suspect naming them directly would result in this post disappearing quicker than our Championship status
