Quite frankly so what? There's something more important than a drug test in sport? Er no there isn't Rio sorry. First it was moving house then he forgot - not only shit excuses but he couldn't even settle on one.

If United mention the other facts on appeal(i.e Davids,Stam) then he should get off likely,also i read that there's a player in Spain who's continued to play despite having an 18 month ban or something.
And for Blatter to even threaten banning United is a complete disgrace,the worst they can deem it is that the test would be positive and so what was he doing to all those other clubs who've appealed bans for positive drugs tests?

Blatter is being a bit of an arse over it all. For all you saying that Rio didn't take anything IT DOESN'T MATTER, A failure to take the test has to be a fail of the test. Besides drugs like Cocaine are free from your body within 24 hours so the timing is all important. Rio is being made an example of there's no doubt about that but perhaps thats a good thing - people will think twice about drug abuse now.
If you want sports free of drugs drug testing has to mean something.
