Yes, it must be. He's been through a lot. Just think there are less risky pastimes.

Wind up surely? He does ok as a TV pundit, and he cant be short of a few quid.
Cue another TV series... You can never have enough cash.

I can't stand Rio Ferdinand.

I'd love to see someone spark the racist, drug test failing dullard spark out. Hopefully he gets in with someone 10 times better than he is.

Any TV producers on here will take note that your opinion may be one of many, thus guaranteeing the Fly on The Wall doc.

Maybe you should ask a mod to change your post, as it looks a bit libelous to me.

Why have you labelled him racist?

The Ashley Cole 'Choc Ice' incident whereby he found such a comment hilarious on Twitter. The obvious implication that Ashley was white on the inside.

As for the drug test incident, his excuse at the time was that he was moving house. I presume his absent minded behaviour was bought on by rushing home because Ruud Van Nistelroy was helping him with the washing machine down the stairs and the Neville brothers had a van he could borrow. It's up there with Mo's doorbell.

Not to mention the FACT that he never failed a drugs test. He didn't show up to it, but when he did then return and they did the test - he passed it.

I did mean to write 'dodging' as opposed to 'failing' As above, the moving house excuse was weak to say the least.

I'm not sure that makes him racist. He was pissed off with Ashley Cole after he stood up for John Terry in court who had called Rio's cousin Anton a "f*****g black c**t. Not only had Cole been a childhood friend of Ferdinand but he also interpreted Cole's support of Terry as being a betrayal of his own ethnicity as well as their friendship.

Bloody Worthing!
Isn't this a bit like getting Tyson Fury to shed 8 stone, get him training with a Prem team and expecting him to be a world class footballer? And RF is in his late 30s.This whole thing is just a bit odd and bears the imprint of a big commercial deal with Betfair?
