That's a dangerous game you're playing there Joe. Nothing has yet been proved about anyone, and making such comments here ahead of any formal announcement could land Adam - as the owner of this site - right in the doo-doo.

It was confirmed this morning

It's still speculation at this stage, wouldn't you agree?

In any case, until the results of the player's 'B' test is known, nothing is confirmed. Hence my point to you.

He's the one alright, and should Adam get into any bother about my thread, then he won't be the only one, as its posted on all major news sites and other football related websites. There is no way that Sky, Reuters, Independent News Service and others would carry this if it weren't true.

Furthermore, it's not speculation, it's fact. UK Sport have confirmed that a sample taken from Adrian Mutu in September has proven positive for cocaine. Speculation is when people spread sometimes unfounded rumours...a globally recognised body has identified the user and confirmed his identity to the players agent....a little more than just speculation...wouldn't you agree?? :rolleyes:

And your original post looked as if it were exactly that. Just speculation. No source, nothing.

It is now Joe. You should have said that right at the beginning and then we needn't have wasted our time having this spat. Next time though, source your story from that start. And don't come the :rolleyes: with me. ;)

I thought the very first word in the thread was 'apparently'

If the second test is confirmed, then I don't see anything less than a 2 year ban. I mean, if a player can get 9 months for missing a test....

That's not good enough for libel laws in many European countries, Joe. You should have sourced it. And then we needn't have wasted our time having this spat, etc., etc.

It was in a national newspaper yesterday, so not sure how that would stand up if it ever went to court. Having said that Radio5live was refusing to name him "on legal advice" yesterday.

there was an article in one of the tabloids a while back quoting a psychologist saying that he was losing it. there was that speeding incident while he was back in romania as well. sounds like the guy is having a few problems

yeah there was something about that in the tabloids today also! Gave a full run down on all the incidents since he went to chelsea!

Is he still at chelsea,or is he on loan somewhere?

He won't be a big loss if he is banned anyway,he looked promising at the start of last season but got worse and worse as the season went on.

It makes you wonder just how many players in the premiership would fail drug tests?

How often do they get tested and are there ways to beat the test,besides doing a Rio on it. :D

Are you observing Plastic Paddy....surely that is way more libellous and dangerous anything I came out with. He's advocating methods of avoiding getting caught in a drug test......shame on you Dolans Waistcoat

Just wondering if we good have kept onto our Gold in Athens.Premiership players could be compared to horses in a lot of ways. ;) :D

Sky Sports News spent a lot of time this morning talking about it. The newspaper journalist that reviews the weekends action every Monday says that it is common knowledge amongst the hacks that Mutu loves the London nightlife.

He mentioned one occasion where last season, the night before a Champions League game, Mutu was in a restaurant smoking and knocking back a couple of bottles of wine with a couple of honeys on each arm........lucky sh!te ;)

Read what he says again Joe. Although there's no question mark, that looks like a question to me. Shame on you for not reading properly! :p

Sur they're all at that kind of carry on. :cool: :D

I'd say Mutu's enjoyment of the london nightlife is at an end though.Muppit. :D

He's admitted regularly using cocaine now, which eliminates any need to have a b sample tested.This might help in getting him some leniency of sentence, but I'd say he's looking at ....2 years??

Don't know, could hold a press conference, cry, and get away with it totally like Merson.

Today he said he didn't take cocaine, but "something to make me happy"
