Beechio needs to be replaced. I don't notice any of the prem clubs looking at him (like Howson, Johnson, Beckford, Snodgrass...and Gradel to the top Frog league) and that tells me volumes about his ability and long term prospects. We will NEVER get promoted if Beechio is one of our top two stri

Agreed, life is draconian. As Mark says maybe a two-year ban is inadequate but the BOA's attitude is(was?) OTT. Yes, taking performance enhancing substances is wrong and needs to be caught and the people doing it punished. But for life? Some doing are mature and cyncial but there are the you

Getting a few years bans will not stop "fuelling" the science behind new ways of cheating with cheats. This science is a driving factor behind enabling cheats to take a calculated risk. The problem then rubs on to honest athletes that have to put up with multiple drug checks in in-human conditions.
