KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Sakho suspended for illegal drug

yep he has decided not to open the B sample, so he is guilty no Trial or anything required correct? Ok so I can call for the club to sack him now yippie...get rid.

Of course the bean counters that run the club won't have that.

do you want to be rid of sakho because you don't think he's a good player or on the basis that he is a cheat?

Mamadou Sakho has decided not to challenge the results of his failed drugs test. As a result he will now face a lengthy ban #LFC

thats his liverpool career over ban could be anything from 12 months to 4 years stupid stupid lad .

Can I answer for EMP? a little bit of both, he's a good player- definitely deserved his spot in the team out of the players available at present. but more for the second* reason, honest mistake or not, he's not even come out and apologized yet, not publicly, that would make a difference for me.

There is a fair chance he is playing well now because he is off his face playing...he was pretty terrible for us for a good while. if he is popping 20 of these things into him before a game and uses them like speed it could explain his better performances and look of madman in eyes too maybe. But yeah I want him gone cause he is a cheat, football needs to start taking drugs in the sport seriously. LFC should part ways, but we won't.

I see what you're saying there. I'm surprised nothing has been said either. I don't know why that is. Am clutching at straws, maybe the club told him to keep schtum until the extent of the punishment is laid down.

cheating is endemic in the game though. drug taking enhances performance in order to win, diving cons the referee for favourable decisions in order to win.

for what it's worth I agree with you on drugtaking but I've never seen you take such a hard line on diving. for example sturridge dived for a penalty at the weekend. do you think we should sell him too?

Is this the case for the others who are playing well now?? As far as I can tell these sort of drugs can give you a physical advantage but they're not 'talent' pills! You do make some fukking stupid remarks!

As for Sakho, he's a bit of a plank for doing this to say the least. I'll wait for the full story (unlike some) to see what comes out from his side but anything over a 6 month ban and we need to terminate his contract.

yeah, I do believe sakho would be playing close to what we've seen in recent weeks, including utd away, even without these pills, shame he's had to try to cheat to get there.

possibly, the club had have a history of not dealing with player infringements in the past well, with suarez, so yeah maybe they just wanted to play it safe. In any case, any punishment will fit the crime.
