Posted September 12, 201113 yr Alright its from The Sun, so lets see how it works out. Top Premier footie ace is 'on cocaine' TV show will name him tonight The identity of a top Premier League footballer who tested positive for cocaine will be revealed tonight. He was later sold by his club in a multimillion pound deal but his new team were not told of the drug test, a TV investigation claims. The star will be named by Channel 4 show Dispatches as it focuses on the use of recreational and performance-enhancing drugs in football. The show claims to have discovered the identities of dozens of footballers who have failed drugs tests for cocaine and cannabis. Their names have been kept secret by the Football Association and their clubs. It is also claimed 240 drugs tests had to be abandoned between April 2007 and August 2010 after officials turned up at training grounds to discover the players were not there. The show claims to have official documents that show three former England internationals and one Scottish star faced doping investigations after suspicious levels of testosterone were found in their urine. All four were later cleared of wrongdoing. David Howman of the World Anti Doping Agency said the FA needed to be more open about drug testing. He added: "If you don't, then you are susceptible to an allegation you're hiding something." The FA said it abides by the World Anti Doping Agency code. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3808119/Top-Premier-footie-ace-is-on-cocaine.html
September 12, 201113 yr here's hoping this thread stays in the non chelsea part of the forum and not changed to general
September 12, 201113 yr Will be an interesting watch...................................................Wonder if Mutu will tune in??
September 12, 201113 yr Someone get Torres a line of marching powder! Only kidding, but if they do make a doc about this, I'm sure we'll have Bosnic and Mutu in there to shed Chelsea in a poor light. Wonder if "merked" R** F**dina*d will be highighted for his missed drugs test. I have heard about a Scottish player that was prone to "enhancing" substances, so we'll need to wait and see
September 12, 201113 yr I heard a review on the programme and they were suggesting the programme was about lower division players. Oh well who knows, will be a good watch though.
September 12, 201113 yr things seem to indicate that there is one top english player who has just made a multi million dollar transfer without the buying club realizing. My pick would be downing but we will have to see i guess
September 12, 201113 yr things seem to indicate that there is one top english player who has just made a multi million dollar transfer without the buying club realizing. My pick would be downing but we will have to see i guess Assuming its a premiership player.....Young, Jones, Caroll, o'Hara, Parker Would love it to be Carroll or one of the utd lot, but cant see it being a big player tbh
September 12, 201113 yr I think it likely gonna be someone we dont really care about If it was a super star I am sure The Sun would have leaked it already to sell more papers Edited September 12, 201113 yr by Zola
September 12, 201113 yr Really hope it's none of our lads. But if it is, will we get rid of him like we did with Mutu? Even if it's JT?

September 12, 201113 yr Alright its from The Sun, so lets see how it works out. "He was later sold by his club in a multimillion pound deal but his new team were not told of the drug test, a TV investigation claims." - so nope! Definitely not JT. I think if it's any of our lot it'd be Miereles, the way he handed in a transfer request late was quite odd. Also Luiz maybe, he's a bit of a character but I don't think a stupid one. FWIW I really don't think it'd be any Chelsea player, but if it was, those two would be my pick over anyone else

There's a reason why Mutu and Bosnich were done for it!
September 12, 201113 yr It's Kalou. That's why he wasn't in the squad on Saturday. If you believe that, you'll believe anything.
September 12, 201113 yr Does it say anywhere he's definitely English? Cos if not could be anyone really. Toure for example.
September 12, 201113 yr Carroll would be amusing, from our point of view. Liverpool blowing £35million on a coke head!
September 12, 201113 yr The O'Connor thing was published months ago: http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-fife-13423701 It would hardly be a scoop now.. Plus he moved on a free.. Edited September 12, 201113 yr by BlueSkies
September 12, 201113 yr Wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt a household name, in fact i would expect it not to be. If it was anyone that big surely the red tops would have investigated and detailed it already.
September 12, 201113 yr My bet is Kevin Nolan and/or Andy Carroll, Anyone remember there classic "cocaine sex orgy" hahahaha http://www.thisislon...-orgy-claims.do http://www.dailymail...k-gambling.html http://www.metro.co....ocaine-at-party http://www.mirrorfoo...icle623523.html http://www.dailymail...ty-assault.html http://www.thesun.co...-Toon-star.html £35M for that? hahaha Say what you like about Torres still million times better.
September 12, 201113 yr When i knew loads of lower league academy players they were always taking drugs tbh. 99% just get away with it. Seems fighting gets you in more trouble these days as a footy player.
