Chris de Sperg posted:Seems a bit steep, when Gareth Bale got a bit of Charlie he barely missed any time at all lol Seems odd a positive drug test would get Livermore 6 months and Rio Ferdinand got 8 for skipping the test entirely. Two years seems kinda nuts. I say 69 weeks

corn in the fridge posted:The article says six months but on 5live they said he could be banned for two years I've always thought that the penalty was two years, but when I did some googling apparently Mutu only got 7 months?

The punishment is longer so that guilty players don't just choose to miss the test instead of testing positive. I wonder if we'll ever get to the truth of what happened with Rio...

Two other players have failed out of competition drugs tests. Seems today is the day that the FA are announcing them all.

The actual comment is funnier. The guy who said it is the president of Serie D, the top amateur league in Italy. It was during an official meeting of all the leagues and someone brought up budgeting for women's football to which he responded that the leagues needed to "stop wasting money on those four lesbians".

IIRC Sneijder is or at least was into some stupid quasi religious poo poo and the Dutch national team in general has had its brushes with stupid groupthink over family and health: new age mournings over dead kids, mass horse placenta treatements, everyone wearing the same faddish bracelets, quack faith healers going with them to tournaments, the works.
