The Hitch said:Yes. Barca. Led by a guy who had both a and b samples come back positive for nandrolone. And was ever since groomed for the Barcelona managment position.
Must be a heavily anti doping stance they have there

I know it's probably 50% half-decent point about drugs testing, 50% Oliver Holt ego-trip, but still worth posting, seeing as the Toure thing seems to have ignited it.
Incidentally, Rio seemed a bit touchy at his name being brought up in connection with doping again.
LOL?What a childish pathetic article this is.
For someone so devoted to the internet, you really haven't done your research. Hair follicle testing can detect use of steroids and I understand Erythropoietin too. The latter believed to actually stimulate hair growth.
Libertine Seguros said:Rio Ferdinand didn't get banned for "missing a drugs test". This isn't Christine Ohurugu and not being available for surprise testing where she said she'd be. Rio knew about the test and did a runner.
That's far more damning.
