Tx - Testing Times

 0 Comments: First  |  Last

Just an exercise in sullying reputations. I'd prefer we didn't stoop that low -- LL ------ I have read on the Daily Mirror footy website that a Channel 4 Dispatches investigation claims that the FA covered up positive cocaine tests on players at a few clubs, including Everton.

Who was it then? Whilst we probably can't say who it was outright for fear of libel repercusions, surely we can say who we think it might have been? (subtle difference...)

I don't know when the timeframe is from but let's say for convenience, that it does not go back to the late 80s involving international full backs, who else has been missing with mysterious 'injuries' in recent times?

Whilst there is the obvious AvdM, I'm glad that I actually saw Saha go down with an ankle injury cos that was sure one unexplained, mysterious injury. It never came out exactly what it was ? ligaments, bones, tendons ? did it? And they could never put a timescale on the recovery period. I don't think that was anything other than genuine though.

Jose Baxter lost his way a little bit and had his well documented run-in with the Old Bill. But coke?

So just who do we think it might be?
