Jake Livermore - Life ban?

[arklowolf]

I assume if the test is correct he will get a life ban. As he is 'a role model for kids' and should be treated the same as Ched Evans was.

 

[Lycan]

Don't be daft. Snorting cocaine is not the same as rape FFS.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

There are standard drug bans. Livermore will get dealt with under those protocols. No way first offence will be a life ban.

 

[arklowolf]

Of course not. It's the 'role model for kids' bit that I was questioning.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

He'll get 12/18 months most probably. Rio got 8 months for missing a drugs test.

Rules state 6 months max. Minimum is a warning

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

2 years if the test was on a match day

 

[PuntsWolf]

Just going by what they said on SSN

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yep - there are two levels of it. If it is out of competition - ie not a match day, then the figure you have given is absolutely correct. If it is a match day then it could be the two year maximum. There is also a minimum ban for an in competition test, but I don't know what that is.

 

[Del Woppio]

In what world is snorting a bit of coke even remotely comparable to fucking rape? Utter wankspangle.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I can only agree Del. Nonsensical comparison.

 

[Johnny75]

Of course not. It's the 'role model for kids' bit that I was questioning.

Indeed, instead he should be making borderline racist hilarious names about a man who has a different name.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Is anyone that surprised? take book, throw it towards Livermore and see what happens, I guess 6 months.

If he had slept with my lady i would be asking for life, but this is really nothing special frankly, and i suspect once the press gets bored he will get a hand slap.

Snorting Coke only person really affected is the numpty using unless he drives afterwards and has a crash, rape leaves lasting devastating effects on the victim for the rest of their life. No comparison in any shape or form.

Pre-fucking-cisely

 

[Derby Wolf]

He was tested after their game with Palace; min six months, max 2 years.

What a total prat.

 

[Alan]

Prat? The guy obviously needs some help, not to get beat down even further.

I hope the suspension he gets also carries mandatory counseling.

Why does he need help?

 

[Alan]

Because he's doing cocaine? Not exactly benign as recreational drugs go.

 

[Penk Wolf]

It's recreational drug and he'll be doing because he wants to not because he has to.

It's not like he's been taking crack or heroin.
