i would need to know more about this drug before I would say it has the above effects. /> Alker, in his oft-misquoted book, refers to how "medicinal drugs" are misused by clubs who give them out to their staff.

Quote ="northmanchesterdevil"*are players using diazepam to get off their faces recreationally before a big game in the world cup and not able to train, just giggle, shadow box then actually box on the side of the pitch in Loughborough.

Once the game was out of the way, the other was "dropped" for the following game. More than one club involved.'" /> You missed off couldn't see nor catch the ball all week, =#FF0000<Edited - Getting a bit close to naming and shaming there - Mods>
