Enzo Maccarinelli handed six month drugs ban

[Memphis]

In a way I see Enzo as being more stupid than Larry. Larry didnt give a shit, Enzo apparently did and still fucked up

If your job is dependant on you having a driving license and you a) Have a bottle of vodka on the go in your van/cab b) have a few pints the night before and get pinged in the morning your still just as much sacked.

You haven't carried your analogy through to it's logical conclusion though. If the authorities (in this case the Police) caught you over the drink drive limit, the punishment (in this case the length of driving ban and possible imprisonment) handed out by the Magistrate would be entirely different dependent on the amount of alcohol consumed, whether you were aware of being over the limit,the amount of times you subsequently admitted to doing so, and many other extenuating circumstances. When it comes to driving, Alcohol is not a performance enhancing drug though, so the example does not really fit.

The two distinct punishments may seem entirely arbitrary until you take into account the fact that if Larry were to be given 6 months for each admitted breach he would soon tot up a sentence of 6 and a half years. Instead, despite the fact that he admitted cheating for 6 year,s he was only given a four year ban. With a BSc in Pharmaceutical chemistry he could hardly claim ignorance.

Getting banned is the conclusion though mate isn't it. There's no legal proceedings following the punishment handed out by their professional body. If that were the case then of course, one would be handed a much harsher punishment.

Im not sure what you mean by it not being valid because booze isnt performance enhancing.?

I seriously don't know where to start with that rambling mess of a rant.

Firstly, I didn't think it was possible for your IQ to be lowered... But you seem intent on proving that a negative IQ could exist... that's one thing (the only thing) you've shown me to be wrong about.

At least you have the humility to admit that your posts are becoming stupider with each one you make.

You're right, I don't get to decide if EPO is stronger than Jack3D, or red bull, or beechams all in one, or the magic water michael jordan gave to the looney toons in space jam for that matter.

Do you know who does? The people who decided to ban enzo and poor, poor larry.

Like you seem so desperate for everybody to understand - they know it's a grey area. But you're the cretin who think such a complex issue requires black abd white punishment.

What's the agenda here? Enzo punished more or Larry less?

Lets face it, if your man crush larry hadn't been banned your opinion wouldn't be the contradictory one you hold.

You take a banned substance, you get a ban - but because everybody isn't as backwards as you the circumstances are judicated and the length of the ban decided.

And believe me, nobody wants to pick on Larry or take it easy on Enzo.

(remember you're the one with agenda)
