The FA - Total genius

This afternoon, The FA have finally charged and fined us with misconduct, for drug testing our own players!

This goes back to the Adrian Mutu case, where we tested him for recreational drugs (performance degrading, not performance enhancing drugs!)

Apparently, in the name of being anti-drugs, we aren NOT allowed to drug test our own employees, because it undermines The FA's own "stringent" drug testing programme.

What a joke. The reality of the situation is that the FA do not want clubs testing their own players, because they cannot have their "product" destroyed when the public find out that half of the football league players are coked up to the max.

Their own "stringent drug testing programme" actually consists of a visit to clubs once every couple of years, at a predetermined time, when they pick two random players, and drug test them. Hmmmm...
"We'll be coming around at 9:00 am on Monday morning to pick two of you to be drug tested". If I were a smacked up Premiership player, I think I might get stuck in traffic for 5 minutes on Monday morning...

This ruling does nothing but prove that drugs (recreational) are a serious problem in football, and that the FA will do anything to ensure this stays hidden from the public. Surely, a club who is about to spend upwards of 50 million pounds on an employee, over the next few years has the right to see whether he's going to stick half of his wages into his arms or not?
