Kolo Toure suspended by Man City over failed drug test

[Lineker]

Manchester City confirm that the FA has informed Kolo Toure that an ‘A-sample’ provided by him has tested positive for a specified substance.

As result of this, he has been suspended from participating in all first team and non-first team matches pending the outcome of the legal process.

There will be no further comment from the football club at this stage.

Kolo been smoking the ganja, eh?

After seeing him play this season, they can't have been performance enhancing ones

According to Sky Sports as of 30 seconds ago, it's something that was in a dietary supplement. I'm guessing he picked a bad time to get diahorrea.

Only two things are gonna come out of this - Kolo will get a hefty match banm, and you'll get the same bunch of idiots around the world using this to sling YET MORE mud at the Manchester City badwagon. Shame, really.

At least he didn't dodge the test like that massive evil cokehead Rio Ferdinand.

Ashley Cole hasn't been caught for drugs, has he? That's how you know a true master of his craft. No point dabbling in the obvious when you can come into work one day and shoot someone (but in a way that still allows you to play against and beat Manchester United days later).

..No it isn't :/

If it's performance enhancing then he should get two years like cyclists and athletes.

Manchester City are just staying consistent in their following of the Chelsea cycle of events, post-mega-rich-takeover. This is their Adrian Mutu.
