Doping in football is a weird one, essentially nobody ever gets caught and when they do, nobody really talks about it, but there's far too much money around the game for it not to be absolutely rife.

Where there's money to be made there will be cheats.

And accidents where you inadvertently take something.

for the maximum ban to be made I assume the latter does got supply to pogba

His claim was that he must've taken it "inadvertently".  Obviously his claim was not accepted.

Not calling Pogba a liar or drugs cheat but has a drugs cheat ever fessed up, saying "you got me bang to rights, I thought I'd get a little boost and get away with it" ?

Lance Armstrong. There was a bit of a gap between doing it/accusations and confession though!

They still turned a profit though. Mainly due to them getting to the FA Cup 1/4 final though I would have thought.

Yeah, closed on a Tuesday according to Google.

Always a queue before & after midweek games.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

I see Tomi Adeloye was on the scoresheet Tuesday night, but sadly appears to have been (allegedly) racially abused by someone from the Partick Thistle section, which sums up the guys that do these kind of things really.

Thanks. Shame, but at least I know. Should have googled it myself.

That's the businesses total wage bill as well though, you'd expect ours to be closer to 5m given scale of operation/size of club etc.

The absolute nest of conflicts of interest involved in the whole thing. Stick to Gladiators, Clattenburg.
