Brutta notizia per il Man City e per i suoi tifosi (foto). Kolo Toure è risultato positivo ad un test anti-doping ed è stato squalificato per sei mesi. In base ad una complessa retrodatazione della squalifica il giocatore è stato costretto, in realtà, a rimanere lontano dai campi di gioco solo fino a settembre e non fino a novembre come lascerebbe credere la pena irrogata. Il Swansea potrebbe essere la prima squadra gallese a raggiungere il palcoscenico della EPL. I “cigni” affronteranno in finale play off il Reading ed un tifoso partirà dall’ Australia pur di essere al fianco della propria formazione.

Kolo Toure handed six-month ban for failed drugs test

Manchester City defender Kolo Toure will miss the start of next season after being handed a six-month ban from all football for failing a drugs test.

The ban is back-dated to 2 March, when Toure’s provisional suspension began.

He is free to play from 2 September, but will also be target-tested for a period of two years from 26 May.”This has been a difficult period, and I am sad to have missed the team’s triumph of securing Champions League football and the FA Cup,” Toure said.”But I am relieved that I will be able to return to football in September and thank the FA’s commission for their understanding.“An independent regulatory commission, which could have issued anything from a warning to a two-year ban by way of punishment, reached the verdict after a hearing on Thursday.Toure admitted the offence – his first – contrary to Regulation 3 of the FA Doping Regulations 2010-11. But the panel took into consideration the circumstances behind his use of water tablets belonging to his wife.On 4 March, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger – who brought Toure to England by signing him – revealed: “He wants to control his weight a little bit because that’s where he has some problems and he took the product of his wife.”He is a boy that has a clean life, a very honest living. I just think it is a mistake.Headed up by Christopher Quinlan QC, the commission were satisfied Toure did not intend to enhance sporting performance or to mask the use of a performance-enhancing substance.But the ruling means he cannot participate in any football match or any other football-related activity other than anti-doping education or rehabilitation programmes, until his ban expires.The decision completes a nightmare season for Toure, which began with him losing the Manchester City captaincy to Carlos Tevez on 18 August.Toure was tested at the Manchester derby in February, when he was an unused substitute. The Ivory Coast defender was suspended on 3 March after his A-sample tested positive for “a specified substance”.Toure is under contract with City until the summer of 2013. He was one of several high-profile arrivals in the summer of 2009 as then-manager Mark Hughes spent more than £100m on new players

Swansea fan makes three-day Wembley trip from Australia

fan makes three-day Wembley trip from Australia

A Swansea City fan is making an 18,000 mile three-day round-trip from Australia hoping to see his team reach the Premier League.Teacher Garry George said he did not need to think twice about the gruelling trek for the Championship play-off final at Wembley.The 29-year-old even booked his flights before guaranteeing a ticket for Monday’s match against Reading.“If it was twice as far and twice the price I’d have still done it,” he said.”I leave school on Friday to go directly to the airport at Perth and I’m flying via Singapore to Heathrow, landing on Saturday.”I’ll then get the train to Cardiff where I’ll have a night out – if I can stay awake long enough – with some friends from my school days.”Sunday I will spend with my mother and am meeting up with my Llanelli-based brother before heading up to London early on Monday morning.”After the game, I will leave Wembley and go directly to Heathrow for a 2200 BST flight and I land at midnight on Tuesday [Australia time] and go to school on Wednesday morning.

‘Enormity’

“People obviously think I am a little bit mad, especially with the short turnaround and immediate return to work.”My Australian colleagues can’t really grasp the enormity of the occasion though but my friends in the UK aren’t that surprised, I’ve always been pretty fanatical.”To be fair though, everyone seems to be full of praise and has been giving me credit. I hope the bank feel the same.”Mr George, who has lived in Mandurah, south of Perth in west Australia for the last 18 months, originally hails from Cwmbran.He started following the Swans as youngster after meeting the club’s former goalkeeper Roger Freestone, from Risca in Caerphilly county, at a football presentation night.

His love for the Swans eventually saw him choose to study English at Swansea University and later a postgraduate certificate in education at Swansea Metropolitan University.After eight years, Mr George left Swansea to find a teaching job in Birmingham but still followed the Swans before emigrating in 2009.”This season is the first for 10 years that I haven’t been to a game,” he said.”I was always going to travel back for the play-off final though. The only decision I had to make was whether or not to ask for the time off or to just throw a sickie.”Due to the massive holidays we teachers get, I struggled to get time off. My school have only given me the time off because I literally haven’t shut up about the game.

‘Ecstatic’

“To be fair, they have been very understanding.”Mr George has built up a Swans fan club in Mandurah among his local football team and pupils at school, partly thanks to the attention the club are receiving.Not only will he be hoping his first trip to Wembley will be worthwhile, his younger brother Craig will also be keeping his fingers crossed.”Craig follows the Swans due to my influence,” added Mr George. “I’ve promised him I’ll pay for his season ticket if we go up, so he’ll be ecstatic if we win.”

Un noto leader di una Firm, richiesto di commentare i consueti incidenti procurati all’estero dai Lads, dichiarò alla stampa “Margaret Thatcher ci deve condannare pubblicamente ma dentro di sè sarà sicuramente orgogliosa del lavoro fatto dai ragazzi”.. Questo libro si propone come un viaggio attraverso quarant’anni di trasferte oltre Manica dei Casuals britannici al seguito delle selezioni nazionali e delle squadre di club. La narrazione delle principali trasferte può facilmente diventare il paradigma per descrivere centinaia di giornate nelle quali le firms hanno esportato all’estero il loro bagaglio di fedeltà, nazionalismo, alcoolismo e, spesso, anche violenza. Il volume si propone come naturale seguito di “Lads 2009”, dello stesso autore, che illustra la scena attuale dei mobs britannici tra le mura domestiche. Sangue, birra e Red Hand gli ingredienti ricorrenti di un cocktail spesso esplosivo
