Where can one find such an agent ?Best bars, where to get cheap Spanish fags, bookies with good odds, and brothels that don't look like they are brothels from the outside.

It's within your rights to do so which was what I said. You were saying it isn't. Now "in extreme circumstances" no it's still within your rights to refuse that initial test. Of course you can't just be like hell no and not give a reason, but even if you say something like I'd rather do it at the station than use an inaccurate test they aren't going to force you to take it.In extreme circumstances as you state but you can't just refuse as you don't want to. Doesn't work like that.
I think so. There is drinking and there is excessive drinking. The latter can mean 10-15 hour drinking session or to drink whenever you have a chance to drink. That is the problem.Am I wrong thinking that a pro footballers should not be drinking at all, not just restrict themselves during main season? You are paid to be a professional athlete, very well paid at that, keeping your body in top physical condition should be bare minimum expected from you.
I don't think that's a great deal to ask of a highly well paid top level professional athlete.Am I wrong thinking that a pro footballers should not be drinking at all, not just restrict themselves during main season? You are paid to be a professional athlete, very well paid at that, keeping your body in top physical condition should be bare minimum expected from you.
Of course not. I agree 100%.Am I wrong thinking that a pro footballers should not be drinking at all, not just restrict themselves during main season? You are paid to be a professional athlete, very well paid at that, keeping your body in top physical condition should be bare minimum expected from you.
With the increasing amounts being earned it should almost be a contractual obligation not to drink. If footballers were paid closer to the average salary of the UK, Germany or where ever then I think it would be OK to drink but when millions are at stake and the wages are fast approaching 7 figures a week then footballers should be expected if not required to be in peak physical condition.Am I wrong thinking that a pro footballers should not be drinking at all, not just restrict themselves during main season?

You would like to think so. But given how this isn't the first, or even third time he has treated them like this I wouldn't be hopeful.He drove drunk according to the complaint. If found guilty he'll probably be stripped of driving privileges for a while. Apart from that, one hopes that he learns from this.
Think you need to read my post again! Not once have I stated he doesn't drink during the season. Just pointing out anything he does is magnified, so once every 6 months drink gets blown out of all proportion. Unless you're his family or a drinking buddy, you've no idea how often or infrequently he drinks.His bender while at England duty was not off-season.. Neither was the suspension Ferguson gave him before the Blackburn (?) match.
That's fair.Think you need to read my post again! Not once have I stated he doesn't drink during the season.

In a way you are correct and there is no harm in somebody having an occasional drink in the middle of the off-season but it's hard to determine at which point it becomes too much and is actually harming your ability to stay in top shape. For top footballers who have millions invested in them in transfer fees and salaries, on top of the money it costs to develop them, I would say it should be a contractual obligation to never exceed certain alcohol intake. Then in case they were ever found to go above their limit, clubs would have the right to withhold their pay for a certain amount of time and if it does not help, after second or third abuse they would be able to terminate contract and seek compensation from the player (like Chelsea did when Mutu was found guilty of using drugs and had to pay close to £20m).I think so. There is drinking and there is excessive drinking. The latter can mean 10-15 hour drinking session or to drink whenever you have a chance to drink. That is the problem.
But having an occasional night off, especially during the off-season and to have a control of yourself in terms that you know what you're doing or to not get yourself wrecked. Well, I really don't see any issues with that. Plenty of them does it and it won't harm them in long-term.
Rio lost his drivers license because of speeding, if I remember correctly.Why did Rooney tweet him that originally?
Forget that, they're rich enough to have their own pub and can always ask a few friends to come along, heck he can open a pub at his mansion and take commoners in without having to go out.I've never understood why they can't just hold off until they retire. Surely you'd want to be the best you could be for the few short years of your career. Then you can party for the rest of your life if you wanted without ever having to do another days work.
Agree that it's hard to determine where the line is or at which point it becomes too much and harms your ability.In a way you are correct and there is no harm in somebody having an occasional drink in the middle of the off-season but it's hard to determine at which point it becomes too much and is actually harming your ability to stay in top shape.

Binge drinking is obviously not good for an athlete but there are studies that show a beer or 2 after training helps your body heal, the same with wine. Infact wine supposedly helps increase life expectancy. Obviously within moderation. Can't be hammering 2 bottles every night and expect not to have health issues.Am I wrong thinking that a pro footballers should not be drinking at all, not just restrict themselves during main season?

Diet is another thing they should heavily look at while they are playing. As for alcohol, drinking moderately might not be harmful but a line needs to be drawn somewhere and I don't think it should be acceptable to cross it regardless of whether you are in the middle of the season or on your vacation, if you are a professional athlete.Binge drinking is obviously not good for an athlete but there are studies that show a beer or 2 after training helps your body heal, the same with wine.

There is also the mental aspect of it, supposedly the ritual helps relieve stress and helps promote mental harmony by relaxing you. I.e. Meaning you perform at your best.
Your foods and stuff are probably more what affects your body. Rumour has it he loves junk food and that stuff will affect his bodies performance more if he consumes it on a regular basis over say keeping count of his macros and so on.
Ah, rings a bell now. Thanks.Rio lost his drivers license because of speeding, if I remember correctly.

I always thought it was when Rooney joined Twitter first he didn't quite get the hang of it, remember when he called himself out for a fight?Rio lost his drivers license because of speeding, if I remember correctly.
I wonder if anyone has up their sleeve whether that's anecdotal or results from a robust controlled blind study? Because the polyphenols in (red) wine that everyone refers to as being good for longevity are found in greater abundance in many nuts and fruits. I think it's just one of those excuses to feel better about drinking.Binge drinking is obviously not good for an athlete but there are studies that show a beer or 2 after training helps your body heal, the same with wine. wine supposedly helps increase life expectancy.

Also if you start puttin sanctions on you can't do this, or that and so on you're now approaching a level of slavery. There will be clauses like a morality clause and stuff about not bringing the clubs into distribute.
How do they enforce that without putting them under 24hr observation? That'll never happen they'll probably have again expectation or performance clauses where they have to be within a certain body fat % and certain athletic test requirements. But to enforce it again you're in a slavery or imprisonment area which would be a big issue in itself.Diet is another thing they should heavily look at while they are playing.

Also, really sad to see all this with the plan for infidelity in addition to the drink driving. Shame for Colleen. No sympathy for Wayne.
Players like Ronaldo and Bale never drink any alcoholI've never understood why they can't just hold off until they retire.

Sweet. Thanks for linking this. Properly controlled studies in nutrition are so challenging and expensive. That's one of the challenges in countering this low fat shit everywhere. The original doctrine about fat being the only thing problematic about diets was based on poorly design study and misinterpreted data. But once it was in people's heads it's spread like wildfire. Seems like the healthful link with boozing is similarly tenuous.https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090429205609.htm
After a quick google search There were heaps of studies but one that caught my eye was just a claim by a 107yr old man that the reason he lived so long was due to drinking wine. 4 bottles a day apparently
I know there are a lot of anti oxidants in wine but 4 bottles a day surely your liver would be shot.
I suppose it's easy for me to say now at 36 and a bit more mature but I'd like to think I would give myself 100% to football if I was lucky enough to be in their position. Maybe if I was 20 with the world at my feet it might be harder to resist the party lifestyle though so I can see why some go off the rails.Players like Ronaldo and Bale never drink any alcohol
Yeah, I earned a pittance at 20 and I stlll blew it all on useless pursuits.I suppose it's easy for me to say now at 36 and a bit more mature but I'd like to think I would give myself 100% to football if I was lucky enough to be in their position.

Yeah just thinking about it, you could never get this info without breaking some serious laws. Surely it must have just been a survey then compiling of numbers. As even if you were to lock up case studies and monitor them 24/7 there would be so many other environmental and nutritional factors. Not to mention every subject would have different results.Sweet.

4 bottles! A day!?! Hahaha incredible.

Not like he had much choice there.
Has it been confirmed exactly how far over the limit he was?

He'd just tanned some listerine.
Without there having been an accident yea probably similar.Would a normal person get something similar or is the law different for rich people?
