Apparently the FA has banned an unnamed player for 6 months after testing positive for cocaine. Anybody got any suggestions? It is an England international./ We decided that here ourselves! The player tested positive with one sample in August and was due to reappear in April but failed another test since.

He'd have to be a pretty good lower league player to be on a wage that could fund a coke habit.

Apparently it was done before the weekend, so he wasnt allowed to play for his club this weekend. It would have been someone who dropped out of a game this weekend under dubious circumstance. eg - a player playing a couple of days earlier but then suddenly withdrawn, and not through injury.

Don't know about that. Thousands of people in this world funding the habit that aren't on good incomes

'tis a League two (I think) netminder according to other football sites, not me you understand,..rough diamond of a lad supposedly, I don't see why they're not naming him, if they've already suspended him they have found him guilty of the charge so he should be named and shamed as they say

Takes time if it's not a player from a certain club, who hadn't actually been found guilty/had his hearing when his name was all over the papers.

We need video replays United would be mid-table if officials had the benefit of them.
