Barnet winger Mark Marshall has been given a two-year suspension from all footballing activity by the FA. The verdict was reached after Marshall tested positive for Methylhexaneamine after the League Two fixture against Dagenham on December 26, 2011.
The 25-year-old, who was provisionally suspended by the Bees in January, will not return to action until 2014.

That would have been an obstruction of justice though, surely? Up with that I will not put.ResurrectionRooney wrote:Should have skipped the test and done 8 months instead.

Erm.. his team-mates will say good job?Weather130 wrote:ResurrectionRooney wrote:Should have skipped the test and done 8 months instead.
That would most likely be a reputation killer that could not be reversed. When the team ask why he skiped the drug test what is he going to say? If he gets off the drugs in 2 years he will likely get a second chance. If he does the 8 months he is exploiting a loophole in the law and becomes a liar that no one wants.

How full are the jails? If someone skips a test you do not have 100% proof the person in question did the drug. I am sure while in custody he will be forced to take some sort of test. If it is something that does not leave the body completely this would work.

Why the fuck would he be jailed? We don't jail our athletes for skipping drug tests.

Sometimes over here we jail people in between when they are arrested and when they have their day in court, sometimes that is only over night. Although you usually have the option to post bail to be "free" in that time rather than being stuck in jail.
