Sheffield United keeper Paddy Kenny faces a lengthy ban for failing a drugs test in a vital play-off match.

The Republic of Ireland star has been found guilty of taking a ‘banned’ substance in a medicine before the semi-final play-off with Preston at the end of last season.

Both A and B tests revealed Kenny failed and now he and the Blades are awaiting the verdict - and punishment. He could be banned for between six months and two years.




I never knew lard was a banned substance.

come on be fair it was a banned substance that was in medicine. it's not as if he intentionally took a performance enhancing drug.

many of these banned drugs a found in everyday medicines that we wouldn't think twice in taking

Didn't see this thread, this is what I put in the one off topic

Ephedrine also happens to be something that can be used as a stimulant doing exercise, and does something about helping you sweat in a big way, so when you do weights it puts more muscle on or something, not too sure how the latter works.

Coincidence. Bloke was always a prick.

If the shoe was on the other foot, you can guarentee Sheffield United would've been up at Soho Square calling for a replay, crying in the press, blaming anyone they could.

He's been taking a slimming substitute by all accounts which had a banned substance in it. What a silly billy! Everyone knows you simply have a few puffs on an Asthma Inhaler prior to a drugs test to mask out all substances. Can't beat a bit of Salbutamol Sulphate and Salmeterol & Fluticasone to hide your mischiefious ways!!!

;D

Spot on mate. If he's been naughty helping out Tevez's Argentine cousins or he has been misusing drugs then he deserves the book chucked at him, but if it's a prescribed drug by a doctor then a warning should be enough. Hopefully common sense will prevail.
