I would really love this to be finalised before the start of the season so I know whether it's safe to pick Watson :-\

Not sure if I missed it or not in the article, but does it say how long they would be banned for?

haha yeah, Wasn't implying they are all bad just found it to be a long list for a footballer. I know a couple that are fitness instructors and one of them a bodybuilder and i dont think they take half of that stuff. Totally different physical activites i know but still i found it to be a long list. Probably the norm though.
