eldo 868 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Carlo's a smoker, he should have smoked some weed in the dugout during pre-season against ajax.Carlo quit smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Carlo quit smoking.Exactly. Smoking tobacco can kill you, Cannabis is used medically and studies show it's less harmful than alcohol. So i doubt he would turn down a substance in which he won't get addicted to. Quitting smoking only relates to tobacco, for a good reason. Drinking wine is more damaging to your health than smoking cannabis.Nutt, D.; King, L. A.; Saulsbury, W.; Blakemore, C. (2007).

- 25 - 167 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'd agree about the cannabis TX but I can't believe pills, acid and solvents do the same harm as tobacco and less than alchohol.Anyway back on topic, it's worth noting that he's been banned for a 'specified substance' which could be something quite innocent and only worthy of a short ban.

Madmax 9,219 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Sucks to be him. I suppose it's a blessing that his brother is still capable of bread winning. How much bread does 221000 £ a week get you?Takes attention away from us. Good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Big point is.He misses hardly anything. March to September? That's pre-season + 1 or 2 games of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc-meleady 192 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Ridiculous, how can you ban him when there's nothing going on for him to be banned from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- 25 - 167 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 What a farce. They have to change these to match bans to avoid this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 What the fuck, he's gonna be banned then for like 10 games or something? Must admit tho i'm kinda happy for him, it's not like he was doing a Mutu or taking proper category A illegal drugs. A diet pill is pathetic. 6 months is probably fair but it should start from August to March or maybe 1 full season. Man City still achieved everything they wanted this season and some. Lucky bastard. Why didn't this come out 2 months ago, it's already may...? Weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Basically he gets an early holiday that is extended for a couple of months?Lucky bastard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 He is guilty tho because diet pills are still performance enhancing and although not illegal, they are banned from football so illegal for football. I still think they should just let ppl use what they want, if he can use em, everyone can so nobody is getting an advantage. Football is so strict, in fact sport is so strict now, period.
