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

not if it's referred right, this is ridiculous. emp is allowed to believe sakho should not play for liverpool again if he wants.

And we're allowed to question it and his double standards.

Hypothetical question here...but what if Sakho deemed it a waste of time having his B sample tested because he feels he was spiked or the samples were tampered with?

Surely LFC would have to mount a legal challenge because up until this point Sakho has been a model pro. They would only have to cast doubt on the process which in turn could get Sakho off on a technicality? Much like a...for instance a parking / speeding ticket?

Unlike the process that is adopted under the FA which is presumptive (see Suarez racism case)...UEFA have to use guilt beyond reasonable doubt?

Either way Sakho is going to have a stigma attached to him if he is banned or not!

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 .

So LFC flush their 18 mill down the drain...because it's highly unlikely Sakho has a spare 18 mill to give back!

Don't be ridiculous! Sakho has potentially taken a Barry Bethell from Boots and you want to hang him for it!!!

In my opinion yes, he is a drug cheat and should be sacked. The I didn't know excuse is wearing thin these days.

It would be a hit the 18m but I think a good statement from the club. Plus we save whatever wages he is suppose to get from now on.

Do you do all of that wailing of a morning then drink your own p*ss because your body is a temple?

Let's face it Footballers are not blessed with commonsense and we haven't heard the full facts yet...don't you think it would be better to get the facts 1st before lighting your torch and getting your pitchfork?

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.

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.

No one knows what he took or how he took it. So you condemning him is pretty premature and pretty pathetic.
