It just reports what others are saying, although they do have a couple of sources - they got Amady Faye to NUFC a few days before anyone else picked up on it.

Hopefully, we'll send him to Steadman.

From Trotters Way, We sign Faye, Then we get Beye From Marseille.

Excellent.

This is AWESOME.

This would have been over a year ago if true, and I dont think his particular 'treatments' could have triggerred a heart attack. Only a couple of cyclists die each year, usually crash related, so I don't think a link can be drawn to drugs. you're probably right...But if it's true what my mate told me then it's interesting and a little bit hard to understand that clubs appoint people who have been involved in illegal stuff like doping Search this forum for 'Operation Puerto' I've plenty to say on this, although it is disrespectful to talk about drugs in this thread.

Sportsmen don't use steroids any more. They use methods that increase the amount of oxygen that can be absorbed by the blood, or they use hormones to keep hormonal levels at optimal or safe amounts. So like I said, drugs can be ruled out here.

There are well over fifty Tours (ie cycle race with two or more consecutive stages) between January and October every year with top teams participating. Cycling squads have forty plus riders, and there are more pro teams internationally than there are in the english football pro leagues. A team of specialists could easily be set up in each domestic country. There are certainly less than 4000 players in England, which is the number that could be assessed by a team of trained specialists evey month.

The day before every cycling tour, there are thorough heart and lung tests in one building for 180 riders, with urine and bloods also taken and analysed over the following week. Any concerns at any point, and the rider is out of the race. Thus, 1000 pros could be assessed every week, or 4000 in a month. Would have to be coordinated though such that your next opponent had to have medicals on the same day.

A small proportion of young people suffer heart attacks. They can be perfectly healthy and suffer the heart attack in their sleep. Its just one of those unfortunate random occurences. There is no-one to blame here. However, there needs to be some clarification: Who is responsible for monitoring the health of each individual player? Are these individuals appropriately qualified to spot potential health problems? How often do players get health check-ups? In my opinion, teams should be checked into a neutral FIFA run medical centre once a month for day long check-ups carried out by top medical specialists, with players sidelined indefinitely at the hint of a health problem. This happens in other sports and prior to the Olympics. Anything less than that is failing the players.

Really the number of irrational cunts per hundred members of the UK population is exponentially increasing. I'm thinking of migrating to New Zealand ASAP.

I like.

RIP

4231 all the way for me.

Frustrating, but we haven't lost this season, and hopefully some people will learn something from that match.

Fuck

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lowes: "Peter Ramage doesn't quite know what to do"

He was an injury doubt prior to the game, so they are probably some anti-injury clothing.

At this point, bring Cacapa on for Viduka and Owen on for Martins. Then play: Given Taylor Cacapa Rozehnal Ramage Milner Geremi Butt N'Zogbia Smith Owen

It's Lee Stewart!
