The FA bans social drug use on the following grounds 

Social Drugs Policy Regulations have been adopted because experience shows that, due to their age, spare time, disposable income, etc., Players are at risk of being exposed to Social Drugs while Out of Competition, with the following potential consequences: 3.2.1 Damage to the physical and/or mental health and welfare of a Player using Social Drugs (and so to his career, as well as to his general well-being), both in the short- term and (because of the addictive qualities of Social Drugs) in the long-term. 3.2.2 Players under the influence of Social Drugs injuring themselves or others during training, due to the negative effect that Social Drugs can have on both mental and physical functioning (such as motor functioning, reaction time, altered perception, concentration, judgment, and decision-making). 3.2.3 Players testing positive immediately after a match for a Social Drug taken Out of Competition (because metabolites of the drug remain in the system for several days or even weeks), and consequently being banned from the sport for a lengthy period under the FA Anti-Doping Regulations. 3.2.4 Harm to public health where Players’ Use of Social Drugs is copied by young players and fans who see them as role models. 3.2.5 Damage to the image and reputation of the sport, with parents potentially being deterred from permitting their children to pursue a career in the sport and/or commercial partners potentially being deterred from associating their brands with the sport.

 

All of that sounds stupid when mentioning the fact that alcohol is legal and that there's a bigger issue with binge drinking than people being coked up in the country yet players getting drunk isn't much of an issue. Not saying it should be an issue but there's definitely an inconsistency regarding people's attitudes to drinking when compared to other "social drugs". The FA would be better stating "It's illegal in this country, it's not our choice, blame your politicians".

It makes me laugh when 'celebs' are castigated for taking a bit of sniff when their bosses at whatever freemasonic cult run business they're in are all taking drugs and being sexually depraved scum. The phony self-righteousness boils my piss. You seriously think the suits at the FA aren't on coke? xD
