Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III

[swampash]

MEN reporting that Pogba‘s ban has been reduced to 18 months, which means he’s back in training from January but will have his contract terminated by mutual consent. I hope Ineos won’t be stupid enough to bring him back to OT in the January window.

Like with Greenwood, some cunts will pick him up. Maybe Saudi? I could also see Spain or France.

Honestly, unlike Greenwood, I feel sorry for Pogba. You can be sure there are hundreds of other players doping on the sly, finding creative ways around the rules or running the gauntlet hoping they've pissed the evidence out by the time they get randomly screened.

One of my mates from school got into biomedical science in the 90s/00s and told me about the cat and mouse race with amphetamines in sports. You can't technically ban all of them because they have their uses, just specific compounds. So new ones will get made that vary ever so slightly in their chemistry but have virtually the same effect. Then they get thrown about at athletes as "legal energy enhancers" after limited testing. Maybe my info is 20 years out of date but if it's still the case, you can bet there are hundreds of top-level athletes doping.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a thriving market for 'clean' urine. All you'd have to do is buy and pre-screen third party non-doped urine, that could be held in reserve, and then smuggled into the sample pot.

surely that would be the most obvious thing and some sort of safeguards are built into the testing system in order to prevent such, er, pisstakers

The same thing happened with street drugs. These days a lot of drugs are synthetic; opiods, cannibinoids (spice) etc. The gov were always playing catch up trying to make them illegal. The manufcturers would change a compound or two and they'd be legal again. Now I believe all new drugs are illegal until they're given legal status.

But yeah, doping in football will be rife. It's widespread in all sports except football apparently. Bollocks. Our lord and saviour Pep Guardiola was found guilty of doping. He blamed the doctor who carried then can, but then Pep rehired the cunt when he became a manager.

Hope you’re right….

This could be significant for the transfer market.

That article does a terrible job of explaining what the issue was. They only get to the issue at the bottom of the article.
I don't see what the big deal is. It looks like if the club terminates the contract, the player can't be restricted from moving to another club. Diarra couldn't move because an International transfer certificate was needed and FIFA didn't provide that to him because of his dispute with his old club. That seems fucked up.

I'm not sure but I suppose this writer thinks this means now players can exploit this ruling and force the club to terminate their contracts - like for misbehaviour. Now the buying club can simply buy him for free.
Idk - I think this is overthinking it. Diarra won the case because he had a salary dispute - now, assuming, he was right in disputing his salary then it's a very fair ruling.
That doesn't mean players like our very own Antony who refused to play for Ajax to force a transfer can get away for free. Only United could buy a player who refuses to play for his current club.
The article doesn't say shit - I have to guess.

Sorry about quoting an old point this but the diarra topic came up again in the Amorim thread. It's unclear this means players can buy out their contracts. It seemed like a click bait conclusion.
