What about Mutu's failed doping test ?

Can this be included in the 10.3 patch ? Like a global ban or something like this ... Fiorentina announced that the player will be suspended until the solving of this case ...

Not until Mutu has been given punishment......or was he banned?

And SI normally do include global bans. Marlon King (jail right?) he cannot play on the game.

smth happens and our first thought is always ''how will this be reflected in fm''

Isn't it everyones first thoughts Lmao!

sure, that's what fiorentina's coach thought, right? ''damned, won't be able to play him in my viola save''

Lmao, Exactly.

He also tries to save + reload in real life when he loses

Hold on

Hes been banned AGAIN?!

hm, and then he gets angry when he realises there is no ''reload'' button during RL game?

ok, back to topic. regarding mutu's ban.. if the case won't be solved until next database update [dunno when it will be out tbh] i don't think he will be banned.. because no one knows how long should the ban be in such case. if fiorentina makes decision, it should be included in update.

Yeah, tested positive for a weight loss substance which is also linked with some-other performace substance I believe.

Hold on

Hes been banned AGAIN?!

mhm.. well when was the chelsea scandal? some 6yrs ago or smth?

Mutu is unbelievably foolish if he has deliberately taken a banned substance again.

People tend to miss out that it`s not ONLY him that failed the test at the same time!? There were a couple of other Fiorentina players.

they reckon mutu might get a 5 year ban as its a 2nd offence. thats the end of his career if thats the case. hes a fool 2 himself

The most corrupt league in the most corrupt EU nation .. well tied with Spain .. but for the purposes of emphasising a point ..

I've read in numerous biographies about rife doping in Italian football alas. I think everyone has heard about Capello's use of steroids in the 70's .. and his response when asked why. Hehe. There's also the disturbing neurone impairment fatalities and those who didn't die but have had their quality of life reduced significantly (such as Stefano Borgonovo) which were never solved and only loosly linked to pesticides in the 80's and 90's ..

Not a cheery subject.

May as well delete him from the database for realism. There's no way he'll play any meaningful football again.

I'll be personally removing him from the database anyway if SI don't, so I don't really care what happens in 10.3.

TBH performance enhancing isn't neccessarily anything he's done himself. His last test was for cocaine wasnt it? Entirely different. There's loads of cases in world sport of athletes being fed supplements without even knowing .. usually en masse. I'm not saying I don't think he's guilty, but its possible he had no idea he was taking anything. I think its credible in many instances to argue ignorance when it comes to doping ..

Picture yourself drinking from one of those bottles by the pitch side - do you think they know whats in those fluids? Likewise eating prepared meals at training etc. Keep an open mind.

It's his 2nd offence; career is over.

its going to be hard for them to remove him until they know what ban he gets. i would imagine it would be lengthy but he would appeal so could take a couple of months

yes you're right i remember in fm 2009 when arsenal always signed him for 25 mil )

lol, I seriously thought that guy would stop, he shouldn't play again, using illegal substances for a game twice is unacceptable, especially after already being banned

Im quite sure King can play ill just double check that now. Ill sign him to see

That's not even a performance drug,it's an anti-obesity(hope i wrote it right) drug.And he will get banned for 1 to 4 years for that,rules are just ....

to be fair to Mutu, neither of the drugs he's used are performance enhancing...

Not on a football pitch anyway ... :thup:

He's failed a third test now as well. His career is over.

Trouble is they take stuff like this it mask other drugs they have taken

Guys, calm down a bit.

He can prove that he took the stuff without knowing. Infact his mother bought him some medicin in an romanian pharmacy and gave it to him, written on it was "100% natural" and a picture of a fruit. If the analysis shows that that substance is really in that "natural" medicin, he will not be punished because he didnt take it deliberately. At most he will get a 3 months-ban for being naive in trusting romanian pharmacy stuff (that he didnt even buy by himself).

People who dont believe that story should consider that the substance doesnt really help much in football playing. If he was to dope, he would have taken something a lot more effective, instead of being banned for some appetite thing. That doesnt really sound like he knew of all that stuff. And then, would he be so stupid effectively ending his career when right now he is really in need of money (-> 15 million to Chelsea still not resolved)??

So I'm convinced he will at most be banned for three months

a top level athlete should know better than take random medicine of any kind. They have plenty of people around them who can check the stuff before consuming.

Wasn't Paddy Kenny banned for taking cough syrup?
