Didier Drogba backs his Ivorian colleague Kolo Toure by declaring his failed drugs test a "stupid mistake".

More...
 
He would, the mad lunatic! The words '*******' and 'disgrace' come to mind!
 
...for taking a diet pill? ^

Think about what you write...
 
drogba is only backing him cos he is from the ivory coast if he was scottish and played for chelsea he would keep his mouth out!

Or maybe because he knows Toure as a person seeing as they both play for the Ivory Coast?

Now how the **** do you know its not? Theres far more evidence, quotes and its the general opinion that it was a diet pill. So thats why. Idiot.

whether its a diet pill is irrelevant, the rules are very very clear. you are responible for what you take, that's why you see your club doctor for everything. if you are not sure, you dont take it. simple
 
Of course he's going to defend him it's his friend. Yeah I heard he went into the chemist and asked if he was allowed it as he was a footballer and was told he was. Unfortunate thing to happen to him.

Whether you're a Man Utd fan is irrelevant, fans being biased is very very clear. You are responsible for what you say, that's why you spout biased on every Man City thread. If you weren't a Man Utd fan, you wouldn't of posted that. simple.

Its not always what pill has been recovered by the drug sample either, if there is a drug that is listed as prohibited by WADA then if found, sanctions occur. Although it is also known that many drugs and combinations of drugs can cover up more serious doses of P.E.D's, which is why the matter is judged so seriously (even with pills that may not look advantageous) due to various methods previously being used by professional sports players.

It wasn't the point that wrong. Circumstantially yes, taking a drug off a banned list is bad and yes he should be banned - but what's winding me up is all the 'oh what a disgrace' 'ban him for life' (and before you go mental, I know Mike didnt mention this), primarily from Manchester United fans etc, and I find it extremely difficult to believe Mike would of posted his post on a similiar thread about a player from any other club, especially a Man Utd player. Bottom line, until proven otherwhise, it seems to of been a diet pill. Everyone needs to chill out, people acting like he's done a Rio or a Mutu - guy just felt a bit chubby (or whatever)

His point is ofc, valid.

You want me to trawl through 10k posts incase you said something related before I post? Make a MikePostSearcherTool or no :P
 
only one person said ban him for life, in fact everyone else said he could get banned from 8 months to two years. the only one showing bias here is you.

oh and rio didnt fail a drug test, he missed it
 
He said he took a dieting pill? Why the **** would he be on them, it's not as if he's over weight.

Well I didn't mean specifically this one thread but a fair point, those are some general opinions I have read on the various Toure threads on this site and in general on the internet.

also isn't refusing to take/ missing a drug test worse than showing up and being found to have taken a diet pill? Debatable though I know.

40% of people on diets probably don't need them. Think teenage girls, it's all subjective
 
I feel sorry for him, Just a moment of stupidity. Lesson learned though next time i'm sure he will check with a club doctor.
