9 months i reckon

[Pepe the Horseman]

6 months apparently.

[Mr Angry]

Anything up to 2 Years.

FA rules on 'social drugs' such as cocaine state: 'FA Anti-Doping Regulations prohibit players from taking social drugs (such as cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy) at all times.

'If you take social drugs recreationally you will face a suspension from football of up to six months, but if you are tested after a match and a social drug is detected, you could face a two year suspension.

'It's when the drug is detected, not when you took it that counts.'

He failed a post match random drugs test therefore, he is looking at a ban of up to 2 Years.
