At a stupid wedding in stupid Galway tonight but have it on record in case I don't get back to Dublin for kickoff. Either way I reckon I'll be hungover. Might let the wife drive but this seems like a 12.45 decision.

Sigh.

I've a work conference on Thursday night. I might have to call in dead

That's class tbf

RMC Sport- "Mamadou Sakho has been suspended by #LFC after failing some doping tests.

Sakho did not know the composition of this fat burner, which he took in a purely personal and therapeutic interest to remove fat.

Sakho, which is very affected by the news, intends to prove his good faith. The club hopes to help in these efforts."

ricero

No chance for the europa league without sakho. Skrtel is muck

Agent Coulson

It's Kolo time now!

5starpool

Sigh, things going tits up now.

Turtyturd

What kind of suspension is he looking at?

Kolo got 6 months at Man City for the same thing

SuperTortoise

Hope Lucas gets the nod over skittles or kolo

SlickRic

One site reporting it so far. No?

If it's purely an internal thing and he hasn't failed an actual test, i don;t think he'll serve an official suspension (could be wrong) - it would just be until whatever it is is out of his body.

LFC CONNAUGHTON

Are RMC Sport reliable? That seems to be everyone's source for the whole thing

ricero

Statement by the club due in the next 10 minutes

J Mysterio

First Origi, now Sakho?!

Mamadou Sakho has been suspended by Liverpool after failing a drugs test.

So then Kolo (how ironic) or Skrtel

Chardee MacDennis

reported by a few good sources now

Surely he'll face investigation now though.

Turtyturd

Should announce his retirement to dodge an external test.

Chardee MacDennis

Yesterday, Friday 22nd April 2016, a formal communication was received from UEFA stating that they are investigating a possible anti-doping rule violation by Mamadou Sakho.

The player will respond to UEFA on the matter.

The player is currently not subject to any playing suspension. However, the club, in consultation with the player, has decided that while this process is followed the player will not be available for selection for matches.

There will be no further comment at this time.

Pretty amazing, stupid thing to do. If he gets a six month ban is that six months of league time or just "time time"?

klose

Fcuk!!

time, so he'll miss Euros, be back for November maybe?

mada999

ah FFS !!! what's going on, why is it always so difficult ??

Vicxas

All the sports sites are running with it now. Sweet jesus

ricero

I reckon skrtel spiked him

SuperTortoise

It's under investigation it may turn out be nothing

SuperTortoise

On the plus side he can concentrate on his painting now which has been woefully neglected of late

Richard Hillman

Very very silly. They have so many resources to check if anything they are taking is legal.

I'd be amazed if it turns out to be nothing at this point.

Horrible timing though.

Official statement

"Yesterday, Friday 22nd April 2016, a formal communication was received from UEFA stating that they are investigating a possible anti-doping rule violation by Mamadou Sakho.

So, it's not strictly internal.

Anyone know how long an investigation takes?

Has until Tuesday to respond, reports saying he's going to ask for a B sample to be tested.

Agent Coulson

Sakho free to work on the main stand now for the summer and have it ready early.

Osmosis Jones

See how long it takes for people to change it from fat burners to steroids.

Edit. The gist of it in my opinion - there is or has been a problem between Sturridge and Klopp.

Bizarre if true, it's only since Sturridge has been available that we've seen a marked improvement in performances & results. He has a huge positive impact on the team.

**** sake. If its true get rid.

klose

Few journos saying he will ask to submit a b sample, disaster this on top of the can and origi injuries. Just as things were looking up...

Ah jasus

Turtyturd

Meh Sakho had nothing to do with it kids, it's all down to Glass.

Francie Barrett

Benefit of the doubt here lads, he could very well have taken something that was prescribed to treat a particular ailment.

Steady on now, he wasn't snorting crack!

Agent Coulson

Hey at least he didn't miss a test.

Crack is usually smoked but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Sakho was snorting rocks of it.

Beast.

Ah yeah, well then his advisor or whoever looks after this stuff should be sacked.

I never buy the accidental drug cheats stories anyway tbh. Everyone is innocent when caught. No doubt there's tons of players at it.

Ban will probably be the same no doubt

Fowler87

This is going from worse to worst:( So many big players missing

Agent Coulson

Benteke definitely done at the club if he can't even make the bench when Mr Glass is the only semi fit striker available.



But I'll happily take a hit on Rodgers signing of him because we now have Klopp as manager.

Is he not injured?

Who Mr Glass or Benteke


Oh right fair enough if he is injured that would make it hard to be fit to alright

mikeym

Think hes injured.

marklazarcovic

i never buy the "i didn't know" excuse,from any athlete, deserves his ban if true, but their all at it in fairness
