Park Life 70 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Sheffield United keeper Paddy Kenny has been suspended from all football for nine months for failing a drugs test. The 31-year-old tested positive for a banned substance, ephedrine, following last season's Championship play-off semi-final second leg against Preston. And while a statement read "its use was not intended to enhance performance", Kenny was found guilty by the Football Association's Regulatory Commission. The suspension dates back to 22 July, meaning he can return in April, 2010. In addition, Kenny will be subject to target testing for a period of two years, while he was also ordered to pay the costs of the hearing. Commission chairman, Christopher Quinlan, said: "Whilst we found that the player satisfied us on the balance of probabilities that the substance was not taken with the intention of enhancing sporting performance, his admitted conduct displayed significant fault. "A professional sportsman has a strict responsibility to ensure prohibited substances do not enter his/her body. "In this instance Mr Kenny knowingly ingested an over-the-counter medicine above the prescribed dosage without reading the accompanying package or leaflet and without reference to his club's doctor or other medical staff. Little harsh for ephedrine. (great if you're tired and want to go out clubbing btw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2188 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I expect Paddy Kenny takes ephedrine just to get out of bed in the morning. I'm surprised more footballers don't fail drug tests, for both performance enhancing and recreational drugs. Footballers are by and large young, thoughtless and will take what they're given. Maybe they don't get tested a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah something like that, I think he was involved in some sort of nightclub 'altercation'. Ban seems a bit harsh, I think they should re-evaluate some of their punishments for drugs offences. It's performance enhancing drugs that we want rid of, so why punish recreational dugs and mistakes like Kenny's so severly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Weren't we linked with him a while back? Aye, not sure if there was any truth in it or it was just 2+2=5 paper talk. It was when Given was still here but rumoured to be on his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
