Sheffield United could potentially face a multi-million pound claim from
Preston North End after Blades goalkeeper Paddy Kenny failed a drugs test.
Kenny was tested postive for a banned substance following a test taken prior
to last season's Championship semi-final play-off - a tie that the Blades
won 2-1 on aggregate and saw them coin in from a lucrative play-off final
tie with Burnley. The goalkeeper was credited with a major part in the
second semi-final which Sheffield United won 1-0; the Daily Mail noted how
Kenny produced a 'full-length save from Jon Parkin' during the second half.
The goalkeeper also had a hand in the Blades' goal in the first leg, the
Mail again reporting how "Kenny sent a ball upfield, Lonergan did well to
save at Greg Halfords feet and the ball squirted out to the right where it
was retrieved by Ward, who delivered a cross that was thumped home on the
full by Howard."
Kenny - who is likely to receive a lengthy ban and fine from the FA
following his failed test - could also cost his club massive damages should
Preston decide to proceed with legal action. North End could now claim that
they were denied the chance of appearing in a showpiece Wembley play-off
final and the chance of reaching the Premier League as a result of the
goalkeeper's presence - and with Lord Griffiths setting a precedent in last
year's case with West Ham United when he declared that one player can affect
not just one game, but the course of an entire season - the Blades could now
be on the receiving end of a decision which proved so lucrative for them in
the Carlos Tevez case.
Griffiths on Tevez: September 2008
"We think it more likely than not on the evidence that we heard, that even
over the final two games of the season, West Ham would have achieved at
least three points less overall without Mr Tevez. He played outstandingly
well in the two wins that West Ham secured in those last two games."
Bramall Shame: getting away with murder
June 2007: Premier League investigate claims that the Blades broke rule U18
relating to third-party influence in the transfer of Steve Kabba to Watford.
September 2008: Sheffield United win millions in damages from West Ham

November 2008: Sheffield Utd defender Chris Morgan leaves Barnsley striker

More on the real cheaters...
Goalkeeper Kenny fails drugs test
Sheffield United have suspended keeper Paddy Kenny for failing a drugs test.
Kenny tested positive for a banned substance, ephedrine, following last
season's Championship play-off semi-final second leg against Preston.
Ephedrine is believed to be present in a cough mixture that the Republic of
Ireland star bought over the counter, BBC Radio Sheffield understands. "We
confirm Paddy has been suspended. This is an ongoing, confidential matter,"
read a club statement. The 31-year-old will now be subject to a
disciplinary inquiry by the Football Association and faces a range of
possible sanctions from a reprimand up to a two-year ban. The FA and UK
Sport - the agency responsible for drug testing programmes in sport - have
so far refused to comment. Ephedrine is on the list of the World Anti-Doping
Agency's specified substances but is contained in some cold cures, and a
positive test does not carry the usual automatic two-year suspension. Since
2007, however, four rugby players - two from rugby union and two from rugby
league - have all been served with two-year bans after testing positive for
ephedrine. In three of those cases, the players involved took ephedrine
tablets before a match, while in the fourth case the source of the stimulant
was unclear. In order to minimise his punishment, Kenny will have to attempt
to prove that he did not take the drug in order to enhance his performance.

Agree Preston will not have a leg to stand in this instance. It was not the club who knowingly cheated it was the player hence a large fine and suspension.

Sunderland, end of their last game of last season when the news that Newcastle had been relegated comes through. At about 1:08, the news hits the crowd, about 2:30 and the ground sings (as one) about Alan Shearer.

Theoklitos didnt exactly cover himself in glory for Norwich in L1 last night.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_2/8186227.stm
Norwich 1 - 7 Colchester
Norwich slumped to a huge defeat as Bryan Gunn's Championship return bid began in utterly disastrous fashion.
Keeper Michael Theoklitos missed his punch to hand Kevin Lisbie Colchester's first, and Clive Platt finished into an unguarded net three minutes later.
Platt got a second at the back post, David Fox curled in a free kick, Lisbie headed another, David Perkins scored a volley and Scott Vernon tapped in.
Cody McDonald converted a flick-on for Norwich but angry fans confronted Gunn.
Colchester had bagged five goals by the 40th minute, by which time Norwich supporters were already heading for the exits.
The away side could even have stretched their lead further in the second half, before McDonald's consolation from Grant Holt's flick.
Two Norwich fans ran onto the pitch after Colchester had made it 4-0 and threw their season tickets at Gunn before being ejected.
The result was the worst home defeat in Norwich City's 107 year history.

Good Start by the Toon. Hopefully we can get 3 points against Wednesday on Wednesday and really look good for promotion early. Back to where we belong.
