Your using the word "drug" bluntly.

Whatever you say mate.

I mean, he didn't go out to gain something, well in fact he wanted to lose weight. It was just a slimming product.

Think Yaya could do with sharing the slimming product too, fat mess.

Can be a fat mess all he likes if he keeps winning us cups.

Yaya.

Jamie is so stubborn I've always agreed with him on Yaya being average.. but this season in a more forward role he's been fantastic.

Unless Jamie thinks he's been good then I take that back.

He's been better than what he was like at Barca anyway.

He might be my favourite player at City.

He is mine.

I wanted Yaya before he joined Barcelona.

Wouldn't have him now though for the wages he's on.

Kolo and Yaya
6 months isn't too bad.

Kolo is shit.

Yaya's a lump, big, strong, fast on 200+k a week and has probably got a huge willy. Football brain? Limited.

I think the main point here is that Kolo did not try and cheat by taking a performance enhanching drug, he simply took a water tablet to help lose weight which happened to have a banned substance in. That should not carry the same punishment as for example somebody purposely taking steroids.

Why is it OK to use substances to lose weight, but not to build muscle?

It's not. If Kolo struggles with being a lazy shit tough luck.

Im saying one is intending to cheat. Kolo did not intend to cheat and that was said in the report. Somebody who is taking something like a performance enhanhing drug on purpose should be punished worse.

How is taking a diet pills not performance enhancing? It's a banned substance, stupidity or ignorance isn't an excuse for taking it.

You think taking a water tablet not knowing it contains a banned substance deserves the same punishment as somebody taking steroids knowing fullwell they are cheating?

Yes and no. I think you should get the same punishment from taking a banned substance whether it's by stupidity or with intent, but don't think all substances should carry the same penalty.

i dont, to me its not cheating if therez no intent
