    Very simplified version considering Messi had Growth hormone disorder and would've needed the treatment either way. Plus it was used when he was 13 and he wasn't a professional footballer.

    Phenix failed a drug test for a substance found in Cocaine and a substance linked to anabolic steroids, it's a massive stretch to compare it to Messi's treatment

    He was on Undr the Cosh about 18 months ago where he gave his version of events.

    He admits to taking a banned substance, but doesn't agree that it was 'performance enhancing', other than it stopped him from being in constant pain.

    The ban he got though was significantly over the top. It was 3 times longer than any other ban given to a British footballer for a similar offence. He was also the first non league footballer to be selected for a 'random' drugs test.

    In that case he should have had permission for a TUE (therapeutic use exemption). You only get them when no other medication can be used to treat the condition.

    Anti doping rules say you are yourself guilty of an offence if you are aware of anyone who commits a doping violation and you do not report it. You can be 100% clean and still commit a doping violation. The 11 anti doping rule violations come under the following headings. 1) Presence. 2) Use. 3) Evasion, refusal or failure. 4) Whereabouts failures. 5) Tampering or attempted tampering. 6) Possession. 7) Trafficking. 8) Administering or attempted administering. 9) Complicity or attempted complicity. 10) Prohibited association. 11) Acts to discourage or retaliate against reporting to the authorities.

    The UKAD Clean Sport Advisor Course is free via the UKAD website. It takes around 4 hours to complete but is well worth doing for anyone connected to any sport in any capacity. It is so easy to fall foul of the anti doping rules through making assumptions and a lack of knowledge.
