I think it says more about the paranoia about drugs in sport. Glad its over he will be a big player for us
I'm not sure it's paranoia mate. The conspiracy theory side of me wonders whether they deliberately pick out high profile cases that won't destroy a players career rather than going for the ones with no defense who they would have to ban for a long time.
Toure, Ferdinand now Sakho. I genuinely believe there are players taking harder stuff than fat burners and smoking a joint, but if they picked up on those it would affect commercial profits through bad publicity, so just give everyone a little reminder by picking out one or two high profile "lesser offenses" ... job done.
Tin foil hat removed, we have seen with the Olympics how they can shut their eyes when it suits, I'm sure that football has it's fair share of drug cheats.
