[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 69264, member: 176912"] As a Chelsea fan, I was disgusted with the ban. It should have been at least 18 months. It's difficult to compare various cases, and nobody knows for sure if Rio had taken something (and I'm not suggesting that he did) but for a proven abuse, 7 months is rubbish. It's one thing for the FA to say that they have increased the number of tests they perform, but what is the point if 7 months suspension is all you get? ... and as you so rightly say, the 20K is an irrelevance. To think we paid 16M for him, and he'll be playing for Arsenal against us in the FA cup final this year. Outrageous. The 16M means nothing to Chelsea, but what it had been a less well-off club? I think Chelsea are right to try and hold on to his registration, not that it'll do any good. They'll no doubt be forced to relinquish that by some tossy FA/FIFA panel of plebs. I also think that the PFA should be slammed for their attitude in all this. Drugs has no place in football, and frankly the attitude of some of the other clubs is disgraceful. They just see it as a chance to pick up a bargain signing. I seriously hope he does the decent thing and retires. [/QUOTE]
