He will and get injured and miss the whole season. Such is our luck...

I'd take that over a two-year ban, sacking, and ruined reputation.

“I don’t think they should let him off with a minimum ban. He failed a drugs test and it is his fault."

“I have got no sympathy for the guy and if he were to get a two-year ban I don’t think you could argue with it.”

- Hamann

People like him and that Guardian writer Barney Ronay can piss off.

So should the ones who were calling for him to be sacked.

Yeah, Didi's constant nonsense in the media is really annoying given how boss he was as a player.

Mathieu is out of France NT with an injury, now if Sakho is clear watch him play for France and us being left out in this injustice....

edit: nope it´s Umtiti who will replace Mathieu...

So they've decided not to extend the ban but also delay the hearing? What exactly does that mean?

How are we supposed to plan the squad if he could be banned at any moment.

But while injured he becomes addicted to painkillers, is sent by the club to a secret clinic in Baltimore to clean up and ends up robbing drug dealers and doing some Spider-Man shit, yo...
Trust me, this has to end in tears, it's the Liverpool way...

Great news if true.

Wouldn't of made a difference to our chances of winning the Europa league though I wouldn't of thought. Toure was our MOTM on the day. Followed at some distance by Lovren and Clyne.

He was suspended for 30 days by UEFA, Sakhos reps have questioned whether the substance should even be on the banned list - so UEFA arent extending his suspension whilst ordering their own disciplinary body to first investigate whether the substance should even be on the WADA list.

I can see this now - UEFA hold an internal investigation, decide that the substance should be on the banned list and they then try and hand down a suspension to Sakho. It'll be the typical UEFA bollocks.

I'd be delighted if these reports are true for Sakho with the Euros being in France. People wanting us to cut our losses may have been a touch premature.

Where is that info coming from? And surely they can't retroactively punish him for a substance they ban in the future?

Le Parisien reports that Sakho was informed on Friday that he won't be banned.

The France and Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho’s provisional suspension for a doping offence has expired and the player faces no further ban, the French sports daily L’Equipe reported on Saturday.

Sakho was banned for 30 days after testing positive for an illegal substance following Liverpool’s Europa League tie against Manchester United on 17 March.

L’Equipe reports that Sakho’s lawyer successfully argued that the fat-burning product was not on Uefa’s list of banned substances.

Sakho, who according to Le Parisien was told on Friday night that his ban would be lifted, missed Liverpool’s last eight games of the season due to the positive test.

The defender is now free to play again and is available to Didier Deschamps who is yet to name his final France squad for Euro 2016. Sakho told Le Parisien that he has been training on his own twice a day and is ready to play.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/28/mamadou-sakho-no-further-doping-ban

Presumably the Guardian, who published a strong and lengthy article about how we should be kicked out of the competition because of Sakho's failed drug test, will now consider writing some equally stupid and desperate article campaigning for us to be awarded the trophy?

If he has been charged and cleared then he cannot be charged for the same sample being positive again. It would have to be for another sample.

Plus I'd imagine some rules stating that a case can only be kept open for a certain period of time without an outcome

They can't legally do that. It would have to be on the list before the sample was tested

Great news for Sakho and us going into next season!

UEFA needs to change how they handle these cases. The lad missed the business end of the season on trumped up charges with no foundation. Talk about a shite due process that took too fucking long. UEFA are so corrupt.

NaivetyinBlack · « **Reply #227 on:** May 28, 2016, 03:05:20 pm »

Problem is, this has come too late. Deschamps has already called up Umtiti after Mathieu was injured and his squad is complete. Now, if Mama makes the squad, Deschamps has to send one back.

Would love it if he sends Koscielny packing, but I'm not holding my breath.

No one is saying they didn't deserve to win on that night. What everyone is saying is that we were robbed of our ACTUAL chances at the game.

I honestly don't give a shit if Toure was MOTM or not, one player in the team who is known to be a starter being taken out changes EVERYTHING.

Isn't Varane out with injury too??

Yiannis · « **Reply #230 on:** May 28, 2016, 03:06:22 pm »

A great situation now guys. Gomez would be the 4th choice (on paper) for the CB slot and we can always use him as a FB too. Get Skrtel out, Kolo probably leaving, still no new CBs needed.

Koscielny is not bad at all, just not great as Arsenal fans think. A bit like Sakho and some of our fans. Anyway, it won't happen. Koscielny would start even if Varane was fit.

Le Parisien says that the substance Sakho took was never on the banned list, which his legal team argued from the start. Apparently, he's been training twice a day with Liverpool pending the suspension being lifted. He's currently on holiday in Maldives and could fly back to France on Sunday, although it's thought he may not be selected for the French squad, since Deschamps earlier this morning replaced the injured Jeremy Mathieu with Umtiti
