"Yes sir, I was moving house so I completely forgot ABOUT THE MOST F*CKING IMPORTANT GAME FOR ENGLAND SO FAR, next time I will endeavour to find time to move house during the 3-4 months I normally spend sunning myself and getting pissed between seasons".

He has been dropped form the Turkey game. So why havent the FA dropped him from the Premiership games then?
FA = Dicks

darth, it was on honest mistake, he is human after all (A well paid one at that). He then realised his mistake when he got home and went back to the ground but the testing staff had left. He then contected the FA and got anouther test done 2 days later (As soon as possible for the FA).

He didn't fail a drugs test, he failed to turn up on time for one, specifically one that applies to the UEFA games.

It does carry a large ban, and I hope it gets enforced. No-one is too big for the rules, not participating in a drugs test is as bad as failing one.
It's not easy to forget either, not like you get told a week before that you're going to be tested, as you come off the pitch it's like "here's a container, please come into our little booth and piss into it please" and he didn't. Testing yourself two days later is pointless.
On a postive not, hopefully it will open the doors to someone actually WITH some defensive abilities and not the touch of a trampoline.

Is this because he earns a shite load then 99.9% of the population, or because you arn't a MAN U fan
He didn't get asked to do the test at the time, thats the problem. He was due to have it after training but forgot along with the MAN U Staff i must add and went off home instead. He didn't refuse. When he got back he then realised and went back to the ground to be told the drugs testing staff had left.
But hey he earns more then me... let him burn

There were four Man U players asked to provide a sample, all the others remembered and he just went home.
Plain stupidity really, you cannot just 'forget' to supply samples for drug testing and then be let off lightly, this would make the testing procedures a farce and no-one would ever get caught.

Why did the four other players do the test on time?
Yeh its a damn stupid mistake for god sake and the drug testing people wanted it done there and then.
IMO its both the fault of Rio and Man Ure. Man Ure should have got hold of Rio and said, come on do this test then you can go.
Also Rio was caught on camera in London on that day (apparently).
All in all its a damn stupid mistake by Rio. But if he was ordinary Joe public and was asked for a breath test and didnt do it then would that be seen as evading it? You have to look at all angles im afraid.

He asked shortly after if he could still do it, once he had realised he had missed it (this was on the same day he was supposed to do it), and he was told no.

Exactly that a mistake. Oh and joe public would be asked for breath tests with the testing right there and then, not told to remember to turn up at a later date.

This doesn't matter.
Rules are there to be followed, and when it comes to drug testing then they have to be followed rigidly.
Either failing or refusing the produce a sample when asked is a breach of the rules and can be punishable by anything up to a two year ban.
Whether or not is was 'just a mistake' is not the point. The point is that even just making that mistake IS breaking the guidelines of the UEFA and FA drug tests.

Rio should know better, remember when you play for England drugs are bad and will get you excluded, but gang rape is perfectly acceptable.

So the FA's own guidelines on disciplinary procedures don't matter either then? He hasn't been charged with anything, yet his name is all over the media, and hes out of the match.
Not fair tbh.

The tests are actually anonymous to everyone except for two people, an FA representative and an individual who supervises the test itself. How exactly this got leaked to the press I don't know, but innocent until proven guilty so he probably should be able to play this weekend.

Hard to define the worlds biggest club.
I would say Real Madrid are as they get more media coverage, have more internationals, have been more succesful, won more trophies, have bigger stars, better players, have a larger stadium, get larger crowds as a result and are owned by the Royal bank of Spain which gives them an almost unlimited budget.
And I can think of a lot of defenders who I would rather see in an England shirt than Rio Ferdinand, nothing to do with who he plays for.
edit: mank! beat me to the Real Madrid bit

Well the thing is hes been stupid and so have Man Ure!
The new thing that pisses me off is there are several England players saying they will boycott the game on sat!
