Sorry don't buy that at all.

We've known for months he failed it and the B sample was going to come back positive as he sold his story to the Screws of the World before the results.

I mean, seriously how long does it take to have an offical stance on what they're going to do (not that they have much choice btw, he can't be involved with the club during his ban)and stick out a press release for what has been the biggest drug story in the game's, never mind the club's history?

as i said maybe he's leaving it up to the new coach to decide if he wants him back at the club in 2011!

The results and implications were all known well before Lenegan decided to go for another coach rather than Noble so that can't be a valid reason to have still said absolutely nothing.

Looks like it may well be 2011 before we know.

Surely there'll be more important questions that need answering, like how many Shredded Wheat Michael Maguire has for breakast?

or even that woman might make another apperance and ask mcguire the same question she asked noble.. are you gonna teach phelps how to tackle proper!

Its a joke, but I dont expect we will ever see a statement and it will merely form one of IL's no go areas at any subsequent Fans Forums.

He will answer, he did at the shareholders meeting.

We will have to wait and see then won't we.

Gareth Hock is now a full time gardener earning 70 quid a day. Hates it too apparently. Not surprised

Not really the best time of year to be doing that is it!!

However may add extra motivation for him which can only be a good thing

It shows too! Made a right mess of my privets!
