I realise Chelsea are hardly the ones you want to hold up as a paragon here, but fortunately they have come down on the right side. Drug using footballers should be banned from the sport worldwide and for the most part that never happens because there is always some club willing to take on players with whatever baggage. This way he gets forced from the game without the opportunity of fucking off to play for Galatasaray or something.

Agree entirely, Bartons numerous victims should put in massive compensation claims and force that scrote to retire as well, why should that thug get to carry on his career earning millions whilst his victims have to carry on as normal. Same goes for the prick who played for WBA who ran away from a car accident leaving someone dead and the Plymouth goalkeeper who killed two boys in Cheshire, no doubt he'll get signed by someone when he gets out.

They are paid extortionate amounts of money in comparrison to their victims whome they have assaulted and KILLED and do not deserve the privelage of slipping back into the luxorious lifestyle once they serve their few months prison term. Lethal injection? Maybe a bit harsh but they should at least serve enough time that when they are released they are too old to be able to resume their careers and start collecting obscene wages again.

Mate, I couldn't disagree with you more. Are you suggesting that we have seperate laws to deal with footballers? What about footballers in the lower leagues who earn less? What about amateur footballers?
What about merchant bankers? They live a lavish lifestyle and live a privilaged lifestyle too. Should they be stripped of their wealth once they've served their time?
By the way, who was Mutus 'victim'?

Not seperate laws for footballers no not at all, just would like to see sentences reflect the crime and taking into acount current & future earnings would come into that in my eutopia.
Merchant bankers would not ge back into banking if convicted of fraud so yes they would lose their privelaged lifestyle and so as a consequence be stripped of their wealth. They'd have to go in another direction in life.
Snorting charlie is not a victimless crime, think where it comes from, how it gets here and the people who distribute it on the streets and the people who haven't the riches of footballers who buy it. There are victims all the way aling the line (excuse the pun)
Going a little off topic now though, happy to debate elsewhere though :-)

Joey Barton beats someone and gets a slap on the wrist or nothing at all, Gerrard gets aquiited, Pennant gets found guilty but gets to keep making money and playing albeit with a new piece of jewelry. Footballers get special treatment all the time and now they are copping one back you want to defend them? Where's your head?

Does he deserve to face the consequences of a court ruling that he breached his contract? Yes he does.

If those consequenses mean that he is forced to retire, then I disagree.
