Kolo Toure suspended for failing drug test

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Club-news/2011/March/Club-statement-kolo

Manchester City confirm that the FA has informed Kolo Toure that an ‘A-sample’ provided by him has tested positive for a specified substance.

As result of this, he has been suspended from participating in all first team and non-first team matches pending the outcome of the legal process.

There will be no further comment from the football club at this stage.

Discuss.

Wow.

Really

Damn you!

Fucking hell. I did not expect that from him of all players.

Woah..

Lescott's been playing better anyway.

Shocked.

So that's Kompany, Lescott, Boyata and Boateng left.

Am I missing anyone?

Don't care.

He wanted to smoke... get a lil high.... zzzz

Steriods..

How long is he suspended for?

Doesn't really matter anyway.

You don't care so you came into the thread to say so?

Nope. Got Ned Onuoha on loan but I doubt he can be recalled.

Naughty boy.

Until the investigation. And then he'll probably get a lengthy ban.

And he's the captain as well

Tevez is captain.

Dunno.

Jakub Wawrzyniak got banned for two years (later reduced to a year and a halfish) just for a fat burner, so I bet if this was some serious shit, UEFA should take even harder action.

Though because he is from a top club it'll probably be like a 6 week ban or some shit like that.

Doesn't seem to have impacted him in anyway?

They can make Balotelli captain. He is the best player in the world don't you know

Rio Ferdinand got 10 months or something for missing a drugs test.

8 months.

Didn't Mutu get around 7 months, and he was actually on drugs?

Why would we strip Tevez of the captaincy?

His sample A came back positive, he has to take a Sample B and then the ban will be set. It's possible he took something by accident which would result in a less lengthy ban. Can't really see him being one to take something recreational, considering he is very religious. If president is anything to go by, Paddy Kenny got given a 9 month ban for failing a drugs test. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/football_league/article6825367.ece

I was replying to Jordi. No idea who was City captain Got better things to do

Kompany > Tevez as captain IMO.

No need to mess with Kompany's game.

Tevez is a fine captain.
