The word your looking for is different not double standards.
FIFA rule that a dive is worthy of a yellow card, they rule that drug cheating is worthy of a ban of anything from 2-4 yrs. They have a different standard not a double one. You are welcome to petition FIFA but I think it would be a pointless ridiculous petition and would be laughed out of it. Sacking Sakho however is not, and must seriously be considered ..other clubs have done it and sport is leaning to life time bans. We are all entitled to our opinions, I don't go for poster insulting to get across my point as I think it weakens ones argument . Cheating is cheating and as muj says there's much more chance of a player effecting the result of a game by taking a dive and getting a penalty. So double standards and very standard from you. Your welcome to that opinion but it is not a standard norm in the real world. Cheating has scales and scales of punishment -officially

17 pages of arguments and calls to sack him and we don't even know what he's taken.
Highly unlikely it's enhanced his performance to any meaningful degree. CB's are about timing, pace, reading of the game, organisation - can't see how a fat burner would enhance his performance to obvious levels. Thermogenics tend to make you jittery and dehydrated.
Drug cheat? Come on...
Not sure a footballer would get better on speed...

The facts are he failed a FIFA drugs test. So he took a banned substance, a substance they believe is performance enhancing. If you want to believe he took it accidentally or he didn't think it was banned you are welcome to, I don't believe that. No one knows what he took or how he took it. So you condemning him is pretty premature and pretty pathetic. We know he took a banned substance and we can be pretty certain he will be banned for it. If Sakho asked for the B sample to be tested and or made a big public defense backed by LFC then maybe that would be different.. he hasn't and LFC immediately took him out of the squad.Its not a case for Sherlock Holmes me thinks.

I disagree with you there when you say Highly unlikely - imo the complete opposite Highly likely . Why else would he be taking them. Reading into it a bit these substances can give various physical advantages to a cheat.A player that doesn't get as tired as normal is quiet an advantage

Playing footy on speed would be entertaining but you'd just end up with the composure of Jordan Henderson.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

If he took a banned substence then he is an absolute idiot. The excuse of he might of not known(which i do not believe) is not an excuse. If he did then there is no point in arguing over it because he deserves what he gets

Sadly its our player  and we shouldn't try to defend him.
