Sheffield United's Irish 'keeper Paddy Kenny has been hit with a 9 month global ban for failing a drugs test. You'd have thought they'd have learned by now, wouldn't you? Kenny tested positive for the banned substance Ephedrine following last season's play off semi-final against Preston. A statement from United said that the substance wasn't used to enhance performance, but despite this, he's been smacked (excuse the pun) with a ban lasting exactly the same time as Rio Ferdinand's back in 2003. However, Rio got that for missing his drugs test.
A blow for United and for Kenny. The Blades have lost a very good 'keeper, while Kenny has lost his reputation for being a decent lad, even if he does claim it wasn't for boosting his performance. Poor from you Pad.
