Quote: Giz "Have to say I cant understand the logic in banning him from training anyway. He lost his lively hood and has not been able to play the game for 2 years surely that is enough! If he were in athletics he'd have carried on training as normal because its an individual sport. Banning him from training with his team mates is ludicrous - whats the point?'"
It's part of the punishment and being punished is actually part of how players are dealt with when they get caught doing drugs. It's not all about rehabilitation from the word go. Simple really.
In any case until he had proved he had reformed to the clubs satisfaction I doubt they would want him around the place anyway.
