The club pulling him early and Sakho not requesting the B sample to be opened are just damage limitation.
In a case like this, facts are what matters.
I think the club and Sakho himself realise whatever he took did contain the banned substance so it's no point contesting. So own up, be cooperative and hopefully it'll reflect kindly when punishment is being considered.
We don't know the full story of whether Sakho knowingly took it to mask something more sinister or just utter stupidity without malice. If it was the former, I'm sure the club will come down hard on him.
But first comes the UEFA decision so with facts against the player, no point making things worse by being overly gungho about it.

Playing footy on speed would be entertaining but you'd just end up with the composure of Jordan Henderson.

You use any excuse to be the local bully poster thats the pathetic thing round here. You attribute questions and answers to me that u pluck out of the air just to say something horrible and insulting. I think you have an attitude problem in all honesty.
If there was a defense in this case then we would have already heard it. I don't buy the mistake excuse anyway but that's not even out there at the moment. We know he is taking banned substances and my instinct is he done it knowingly to gain an advantage. He will be banned and imo he should be sacked even if we buy his my dog ate my homework excuse. Ahh I'm hurt by that. There's no attitude problem here just a problem with you and the utter bollox you spout all the time. I've not attributed anything to you that you haven't said. You just don't like anyone who doesn't (over)react like you do and don't like being shot down for it. As for a defense and stuff being out there, there is nothing from anyone. Last time I checked UEFA haven't even charged him (yet). If he's found guilty then he'll get what he deserves and if that's us sacking him then so be it. But if it's OK with you I'll wait for the officials to decide based on evidence not just that you say so. Its not just me, you are horrible to quiet a few people. I just think u got the tone of the place wrong. Koptalk is a happy place, outlandish views are usually met with a joke or even a hearty disagreement ...u just bundle in with insults and drag the spirit of the place down. I have no problem debating people or having a laugh at my own expense even but your just pretty boringly rude. You just can't handle people not siding with you. You've done it loads in here claiming this and that against those who don't agree with you. You know you have nothing so have resorted to this again now with me. I do bundle in as you say when I don't agree with something or someone. Why shouldn't I? It's part of what a forum is about is it not? Maybe I go a little over the top but I get riled up sometimes. Just human nature and passion. But lets call it a day. We'll agree to disagree as this ain't getting us anywhere. The one thing I do agree with you about is the cheating. If he's found guilty (which looks likely) he deserves all he gets.

Just to reiterate, we don't know what it is yet he's taken. I very doubt it's this super-drug that makes you play like you're on speed, gives you super-human endurance and hides other drugs.
If he's on gear or Clenbuterol or something, fair enough, if he took a 'fat burner', the reaction's laughable. I'll wait to see what he's taken before being overly critical or defensive. 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..

What's the point in comparing what some other athletic took? I don't get this "it was not going to help him much anyway" It's banned he should not be near it. He is a tit for even thinking about taking it.Now because of his stupidity we will probably have to buy in another defender and have him missing for 6 months.
