Title: Former Spurs player banned for drugs Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Friday, December 15, 2006, 14:28:14 Former South African captain Mbulelo Mabizela was handed an effective six months ban for drug abuse after a test found traces of marijuana, officials said on Friday.
The ban, which will keep the former Tottenham Hotspur defender out of the game until the end of March, was accompanied by a fine of R70 000 (about US$6,900) after a hearing held by the South African Football Association on Thursday. It is the latest setback in a chequered career for the 26-year-old, who made his international debut after just a handful of professional games and was signed by former England manager Glenn Hoddle after Tottenham had spotted him on their tour to South Africa in 2003. But Mabizela failed to make the grade at White Hart Lane, despite scoring on his debut, and had his contract cancelled after a year following several disciplinary infractions, including missing training sessions. He then spent a season at Norwegian club Valerenga but rarely featured in their championship winning season last year and was released this June. Mabizela, stripped of the South African captaincy in 2004 after arriving late for a training camp, signed for South African champions Sundowns in August.

Complete fuckwits who should behave more professionally. Most people would give their right testicle to have the talents that they have, yet some seem determind to waste that talent. Such a shame.
