As it says at the top. FAI haven't commented except to say he can appeal the decision.

Any more info? where has this come from?

**niamh** · 13/08/2004, 8:14 AM

In the Star and the Independent this morning.
Also on radio up in Dubland now.
No more info as of yet.

i know i'm speculating but there has been only one team in the news this week...........

**niamh** · 13/08/2004, 8:21 AM

But all teams played inside the last week or so.

There's speculation, and there's wishful thinking on your part. Could be any player at any club.

not wishfull thinking at all. it'd be terrible news if any player fails a drug test. i just immediatly thought it might have been some UEFA thing but i guess it could easily be any team/player

I doubt if its a UEFA match as its first of all too quick for them to have got results back. (if it was in the papers they knew about it yesterday).

Secondly if it was a UEFA match i would have said that UEFA would have announced it not the FAI. Looks like a LOI match.

Hope it is not a player from cork city. (none of them look like junkies anyway )
It would be even more stupit if it a recreational drug and not performance enhancing.

**max power** · 13/08/2004, 9:28 AM

just keep an eye out for any mysterious injurys that keep players out this weekend......

**Schumi** · 13/08/2004, 10:16 AM

Recreational apparently, don't suppose it's Barry Ryan again.

already posted who it was last week
the boots were the giveaway that alerted the officials, apparently he also named fellow cork man Lombard in his testimony- its a house of cards thats all falling down, this thing goes right to the top
