The rule they are punishing Tonda for does exist. It is rule E3.1 - bringing the game into disrepute. I assume they are classing it as 'improper conduct' - acting in a way that harms the reputation of the sport. I assume they can bring this charge against Tonda even though he didn't carry out the specific act as he was the manager in charge when t happened.

This is outrageous. We should be suing the BBC as soon as possible. They've created an article called "Nine scandals that rocked the sporting world" and Tonda's world leading criminal antics don't even get a single mention. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/ck62m2n3yezno

VO2 max seems like another con! Apparently you can only have a VO2 max if you run according to most watches. I once had a Garmin watch that would very rarely calculate it from a bike ride - even though all of them included heart rate and power meter readings. My current watch is very French when it comes to VO2 max and just shrugs its shoulders if a run isn't recorded - which it never has been and probably never will as that is one way to kill off my fucked up back and knees! Row for 30 or 40 minutes and meh, VO2 max is not a thing for you! Cycle for 3 hours tracking heart rate and power settings, fuck you, no VO2 max for you fella!

I record the values of mine at the end of each month - generally the trend is up over a month so it's not so bad. They were just about recovered from Trump's fuck ups earlier in the year last month, probably on the slide again now!

I gave up paying any attention to my sleep score when my device suggested I needed to focus on deep sleep one night and REM sleep another, as if I have any control whatsoever over my sleep cycles. It's all nonsense to trick money out of the needy and gullible.

Is Happy Christmas still OK?

Which is a shame as that story had Jason Statham written all over it for the film release. It literally had everything, Russians, Ukrainians, Middle East and Israel all in one plot.

I'm amazed he could find any left.

He 'hopes it can be resolved quickly" 🤣 Nobody tell him it's already been ongoing for three and a half years!

Do you genuinely think that Tonda's outcome will have the tiniest bearing on the punishment dished out to City? The cases are entirely different.

Do they have a catch all "bringing the game into disrepute" rule?

I assume he's been refused bail as he's breached his licence conditions?

I wonder if the FA, when they get their turn, will consider the 114 charges to have 'brought the game into disrepute'? If they do, who are they going to 'punish' though as I doubt there is anyone still around who was involved over a decade a go...

Sure, because until the leak it was a secret. Absolutely no one on the planet knew about their cheating, no one.
