Not sure why players should be banned for taking coke, pot or e. It's not like that's going to give them a performance advantage.. if anything it's going to hamper it.

It can't be the role model angle surely, since most footballists are scum anyway.

I havn't watched the program, but is this why footballers are always faking falls, do they think the white lines are crack?

I'd really like to watch a football team play rugby against a top level rugby team. That would help them redefine when to drop on the floor.

Thats if any of them were left after the first half.

Agree, they could also get some tips on where to get blood capsules in order to really fake it.

You won't need one when 4 of the all blacks forwards crush you.

cheating is why I don't watch that much football anymore.

But if it comes to a choice between watching big bds charging directly in to one another, or for example a Paul Scholes through-ball that was calculated and executed in the blink of an eye so that the first the opposition knows of it is a goal, I know where my money goes.

But it's one thing to sit at a keyboard and pontificate - why not go down your local park for a kickabout on Sunday morning and spend the game moaning how soft as ste everyone is, eh?

Yeah, a rugby team against a football team, playing rugby. Yeah, that'll show em. Wasn't this about drugs, something you will probably find in almost every sport on the planet.
