    After his drugs charge.

    Full statement: http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/NewsAndFeatures/2011/toure-suspended

    Toure suspended
    Thursday, 26 May, 2011
    Manchester City defender suspended following failed test.


    Manchester City defender Kolo Toure was today suspended following an Independent regulatory Commission hearing at Wembley.

    Toure was handed a six month suspension, commencing from 2 March 2011 (the date of the start of his provisional suspension.

    The player is also to be target tested for a period of two years from 26 May 2011.

    The FA enclose preliminary written reasons from the Commission Chairman:-

    1. The Player Kolo Toure admitted a doping offence contrary to Regulation 3 of the FA Doping Regulations 2010-2011. It is his first offence.

    2. Applying Regulation 67 the Player satisfied the Commission (to the requisite standard)
    a. (i) The doping offence involved a specified substance. It did.
    b. (ii) how the specified substance entered his system, namely through his taking of water tablets obtained through his wife.
    c. (iii) that he did not intend to enhance sporting performance or to mask the use of a performance enhancing substance.

    3. Accordingly, the criterion in assessing any reduction in what would otherwise be the minimum penalty of two years’ suspension is the player’s degree of fault. The Player accepted he was at fault and with that concession we agree. He was at fault in the limited and perfunctory efforts he made in relation to the water tablets; the checks he made in relation to those tablets were inadequate and fell some way below what it would be reasonable to expect of a professional footballer in these circumstances.

    4. In fixing the appropriate period of suspension we had regard to all the relevant matters we have read and heard during the course of the hearing. The period of suspension suggested by Mr Lewis QC was one not in excess of three months. With respect, we disagree. In our judgment, the appropriate period of suspension is one of 6 months commencing on 2 March 2011.

    5. His status during his suspension is as provided by Regulation 32: he cannot participate in any football match or any other football related activity other than anti-doping education or rehabilitation programmes.

    6. With effect from the date of the hearing (26 May 2011) and for a period of two years thereafter, he will be subject to target testing as provided for by Schedule 1 paragraph 10 of the Doping Regulations and the Disciplinary Procedures Regulation 8.1.

    Christopher Quinlan QC

    Ferdinand banned for 8 months despite not taking any drugs, Mutu and Toure actually take drugs and get 6 and 7 month bans. Yeah, we're just paranoid.

    I don't even remember much about the Rio thing except he purposely missed it. Did he admit to missing it on purpose? He may of got more due to lying.

    He didn't purposefully miss it, he later took a hair follicle test which proved he hadn't taken any drugs at the time of the test.

    After forgetting about it, Rio said he was willing to take a test. You wouldn't do that if you've taken something. He wasn't allowed obviously.

    Anyway, didn't do us too much harm. In the time he was banned, we won the FA Cup, and he was kept fresh (of sorts) for his return in September through missing Euro 2004. cheers

    So he's back playing early September? So really he's missing pre-season and a bit of the start of next season..

    Bit pointless isn't it? Why not start the suspension at the start of next season so he misses the majority of the season and not just the early period. Neutral

    If it's September in 6 months time, I'm gonna start worrying now. Neutral

    Considering it's May (5th month) and not March (3rd month).

    EDIT: Just read the story. Fuck that. Laughing
