Nah. They don't win anything and I've yet to hear people from Essex calling into Talk****e claiming to be Citeh supporters. Had 100+ Manure and Pool supporters calling in from their white van in East Ham this week.

In my wholly unbiased opinion, City should now be expelled from the FA Cup - its obviously unfortunate for their sixth round opponents to miss out on a game, but this insidious practice of taking proprietary pain relief must stop and if the cost of that is Reading getting a bye into the semis then that's a price I'm willing to pay

You hear about every time a footballer fails a drugs test. There's not enough room on the Internet for that to be the case about athletics. Your comment is piss poor.

Really? Okay, try this....
Simon Mensing is big enough to handle the drug taunts, says Hamilton team mate Dougie Imrie - The Daily Record
Mensing tests positive for methylhexaneamine, and all he gets is four weeks!
In athletics, athletes who test positive for that drug get four months....
In Nigeria, athletes who tested positive for that drug have been banned for life.
Rio Ferdinand misses drug test, gets only eight months. Christine Ohuruogu misses drug test, gets a one-year ban.
yes, athletics takes PEDs more seriously than football....

I did think Ferdinand should have got longer but he was suspended for a major tournament. Ohoruogu IIRC only missed Euros/Commonwealths.
The point, anyway, is that there are more cheats in top-level athletics than football. The sport needs cleaning up before it starts pointing the finger at other sports.
Do you actually like football? You only seem to come in here to trash talk it.

The product Mensing used which caused him to fail a random drugs test was quite clearly labelled with "does not contain any performance enhancing substances." In that case I think it's perfectly reasonable to accept Mensing's defence that he hadn't intended to do anything wrong.Really? Okay, try this....

In anycase, the reason that performance enhancing drugs should be treated more seriously in athletics than in football is because I've yet to come across a drug that will make your passing more accurate or your shooting more powerful.
