Well potentially ripping up an eight year contract for a player who’s been useless.

They won’t rip up his contract. If he is found to have used ‘banned substances’ then he’ll be banned for a few games, given rehab then back in the team before the end of the season.
 
Wow taking shit tablets are now banned substances, the drugs don't work they just make you worse

Last season at around this point ,I remember saying Chelsea weren't that bad a team,esp taking into consideration the amount of injuries they had. Nobody agreed with me.and @Alan Harper's Tash went as far as to say ..Pep would have sorted those injuries out.....
Not sure if you were serious AHT.....but things are looking a bit different now..

Hmm, that doesn’t sound like something I would have said, as I’ve never said that I didn’t rate Chelsea as a team, merely that Enzo was useless.

I may have said that Pep wouldn’t have bought 15 new players to mask a n injury crisis.
 
Chelsea have an overpaid player they most probably want to cut loose at lowest cost possible. The player then gets caught with a dodgy sample. Very convenient. Mutu 2.0

Amazing how that massive buying spree they went on has been swept under the carpet by the MSM isn't it!?!

Maresca has done an amazing job, to be fair to him and Chelsea.

I’m slightly surprised to be dug out about a post I may or may not have said, without evidence!

This time last season, Chelsea were being managed badly by Pochettino.

All I was saying at the time, (albeit from memory) is that I didn’t rate Enzo and that Jackson was a superb striker apart from his finishing skills. I still stand by these theories.

I might have said something along the lines of Pep has been better at managing the minutes of players than most other managers to minimise injury risk. I still stand by this. It’s not 100% effective. City have a tiny squad and 2-3 injuries mean others playing far more minutes than they should and then they get injured.

Anyway, if we don’t win the league, I hope this lot do.
 
With what I've read over the years on testing in football, it's quite easy to get around and open to abuse.

So to get flagged up on a test he must have been a real idiot and negligent in anything he took.

People are saying it's the same drug Maria Sharapova got done for. Matt Law said he failed a test immediately after returning from Ukraine on international duty. We'll see.

Unfortunate for him if it's something he took unknowingly, but it doesn't give him a pass. He'll have to accept a ban.

Sorry fella, i'm not having a go at you here - and not denying Maresca is doing a great job... I'm just saying that they spent a ridiculous amount of money and stockpiled a ridiculous amount of players in a couple of windows... if we had done that the media would still be banging on about it now, but nothing is being said!
