Sakho suspended after failing drugs test

How big does this get, I wonder?

Liverpool have sidelined defender Mamadou Sakho after being notified that the Frenchman is being investigated over a failed drugs test.

Haven’t read the article, but performance enhancing or recreational?

Doping apparently, so a bit more serious than practising his lines.

I think the only reasonble course of action here, is to deduct from Liverpool whatever the amount of points they have accrued whilst sakho has been playing in the team.

:lou_lol:

Mmm.

Well as he scored against Everton, I’m sure the blue half of Merseyside will simply shrug and move on.

I reserve judgement until we emerge squeeky clean from the investigations.

Then I will fully endorse draconian and punitive punishment for any club who have gained points whilst drug addled players have started in a Premier League game. Points deductions, not fines.
