Major Drug Scandal at Major British Football Club

THOMO · 20/04/14 - 00:09

According to the Guardian there appears to be a major drug taking scandal at a major British football club, which goes right up to the highest level. The football club can't be named for legal reasons. If true it's quite sensational.

I don't know. The article just says its a top British Football Club and it goes right from the bottom to the highest level and that the club can't be named because of legal reasons. I'm not sure how to put a link in. But it's in the sports section of the Guardian website.

A few years ago, there was a major drug scandal at Newcastle United involving quite a few of their players.

Shearer, Cort, Dyer, Given, Bellamy, Speed.

So it's not the players on performance enhancing drugs, more the staff or board members on recreational ones?

I don't know, just going by what the article says. Can someone post a link for others to read the article from the guardians website.

If it cannot be named for legal reasons then they don't have any proof this is correct otherwise they would have posted the facts rather than just another pointless rumour. So it is not really a major scandal in fact I am willing to bet their are quite a number people at clubs up and down the country taking drugs. Given the fact Drugs and Money go together very often, if it is good even for the Boss of Co-OP I am sure the clubs are just as bad.

So hardly a front page shocking headline for me

Rich people snorting coke shocker

Who cares, it doesn't sound like players are involved

Aneechik · 20/04/14 - 00:46

Rich people using cocaine is hardly scandalous.

Unless it happens to be a manager of a top club that's well known.

I'm most distraught.

[Deleted User] · 20/04/14 - 00:49

British to me sounds like they'll be Scottish or Welsh as they'd have said English otherwise so people should speculate more? Maybe I'm reading too much into this. Probably

It would say it was a manager if that was the case

It's worded to make it sound interesting but it's probably a chief executive or somebody else nobody cares about

Could be anyone. I remember the last drug scandal where a "Premier League star" was said to be taking something he shouldn't have and it turned out to be Garry O'Connor. No disrespect to Mr. O'Connor, but they were rather liberal with the word "star". Wouldn't be surprised if the "major club" turned out to be a not so major one.

my pleasure

I'm guessing it's a Championship club as the Premier League isn't mentioned.

You better be Joe Kinnear.

This explains Man United's season. Or Liverpool's. Might be how they got Suárez to calm down.
