You have to laugh when the testosterone, and anabolic agents were one assumes 'explained' after the fact. You have a test, but neglect to mention the testosterone cream that you were applying for jock-strap rub. I doubt if they even test for EPO, or autologus blood transfusion. Not only this but players found not to be present? There's a multitude of ways to get around a test, but if in some sports a test is delayed or an attempt is made at some delay it's often reported in the press within days.
Chunes I'm not exactly sure on your scientific ratings of drugs. I can't see cannabis giving much benefit either, but PEP's aren't always exactly based on exact science either. Hence cyclists banging pot belge years ago, which had both cocaine and heroin in it. It'd be nice to give a pass to certain recreational drugs. Personally it's not the issue, it's the fact that no top footballer has been banned for the PEP's that have been in vogue in so many sports in recent years. More is the issue what are they testing, and why are they not transparent about so many dubious details?
Garry O'Connor, banned for 2 months. No real surprise seen as he was arrested under suspicion of cocaine possession. Seen as cocaine is included as a banned performance enhancer, makes you wonder on football's lack of transparency. Still the cyclist Simone had it in his sweets from Colombia!
Football believes it should be a special case and NO footballer should be banned for out of match positives with cocaine.

I was using the report made by the scientists and physicians on the governments Adisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs, which advised the government as to the inherent contradictions within the drugs classifications. It's pretty solid, I think. Not that the government took any notice!

Addickted4life. Keep it to yourself then and maybe think about deleting your post mate.
As soon as Leon Knight came on saying he had seen players out taking drugs i turned over.
i thought it was a very poor programme that said nothing new and offered very little to discuss
