It's not laughable because he is going to get a huge ban. The drug is banned does not matter how little of an impact it makes. If he took it, which it looks like he did, then he would have known the risk.


It is laughable since we don't know what he took. Yes he'll get banned and he's an idiot IF he knew he was taking a banned substance - I just hate the witch hunts like Sharapova and Armstrong. Look at Ben Johnson - most sprinters are built like bodybuilders, he was just stupid enough to get caught out and he's a drug cheat for life.

Added to the fact just because it's banned doesn't mean it's a super drug. It could easily be an otc fat burner that had one ingredient on the list, the point is we don't know. Thanks to EU legislation introduced no-one gives any notice to, most herbs and plants are considered unlicensed medicines. It doesn't always mean much.

End of the day, he should've known or had someone check what he was taking. I expect his sell on values dropped somewhat too..


It's not laughable. What he's done, the reaction to it all, it's not laughable.

He's took a banned substance and to me it doesn't matter where it has come from. If he's got the cheating mentality he could have taken other stuff which hasn't being detected.

For all we know he just drank some type of herbal tea without checking the ingrediants.

Yes odds are it was something more serious than that, but maybe we should wait to see what happens before jumping on one side or another

Something I agree with you on!

Godin is the best centre half in world football and has been for 3 or 4 years.

I think Sakho is going to get a 6 month ban, similar to Kolo Toure.

I still like him as an LFC player and hope this doesn't ruin his career with us. People make mistakes, Suarez, Fowler, Carragher and Gerrard come to mind but the fans still adored them!

Agree entirely. The sensible thing to do but some don't seem to be able to manage sensible in here.

Just read that UEFA have suspended Sakho for 30 days, pending the verdict of their investigation regarding his use of illegal drugs.

This does indeed look serious! I bet he gets a 2 year sentence minimum! That would probably be the end of his LFC career!

Anything over 6 months and it's not worth keeping him. I suppose the ban will depend on the substance and the manner in which it was taken.

Probably so.

I can see us terminate his contract instantly and then sue him for the remaining salaries, and maybe also part of or the whole fee we paid for him.

I wonder if he'll get the sahko.


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.
