Based on information gathered from the World Anti-Doping Code, Paul Pogba might face a four-year ban. But he could get lesser suspensions if he proves that he is not at fault or he didn't use it to upgrade or improve his performance. The French midfielder has to show that he took the drugs for other purposes besides helping on the pitch.  The footballer is facing the darkest days of his football career.  His annual salary which is worth 8 million euros ($8.4 million) has been suspended by Juventus and the Italian side will consider terminating his contract if he is found guilty. He has seven days to present his defense to the National Anti-Doping Tribunal and get set for the legal battle.

The main reason why many people gamble is to make money no doubt about it. But we still need to emphasize that there are people that care less about their lose or win. They might be very few but they still exist. We can also grade people who gamble for benefits into several levels. One category is people who don't depend on the gains from gambling to survive or meet their basic needs. Another level is those that bet because they are catching funds and also expecting profit. This set doesn't see gambling as a reliable source of income but they are expecting to have some benefit. For me, I don't gamble because of only entertainment and I don't also see it as a source of stable income. But my wins are well celebrated and the money is used to solve a need based on the amount won.

Plea bargains have been a sound legal means to get more evidence that will facilitate the investigation. But in some cases, these criminals just to get that lenient sentence will go the extra mile of implicating innocent people. It could also be used by some politicians and law enforcement agencies to target opposition or enemies. There have been cases where further evidence or investigation proved that some persons implicated by these criminals were innocent. So there is always a need to back these confessions with concrete evidence.  

It is common to see criminals from other countries being extradited to the US if the crime was committed in the US. But I hardly see cases where American citizens are extradited to other countries to face the law. Maybe US citizens hardly commit crimes outside their territory.

I worked with Royse777 in the Sinbad campaign and I had no single regret. He managed the campaign very well and there was no single issue. For the months I stayed on the project, everything was perfect. There is no need to doubt the competence and integrity of Royse.

Sports gamblers always play a particular game for a long period.  It is not easy to learn and understand a new game so most sports gamblers play similar games for a long time. As a football gambler, I can easily change the league I stake on but not the game. Casino games are always evolving and there are always new games to explore. So casino users can easily change the game they play. I am considering learning about other sports so check if I can diversify my bets. But for now, I have not changed my game.

Bitcoin is dependable more than altcoins.  So it is not a bit of good advice to hold any coin that is not bitcoin for a long time. Most traders take advantage of the short pump of altcoins to make profit. The best coin to hodl is Bitcoin.

Since only bitcoin is reliable,  it will be ideal to diversify your investment in other sectors like stocks, precious stones, real estate and agriculture.

Get information from certified sources because most media houses are controlled by the anti-Bitcoin government and corporations.  Some of them spread lies and FUD.

Not important but necessary if you find one. You can get valid information from the internet but a mentor can help to simplify learning.

The answer to this question will depend on the terms of service of the betting company and the laws guiding gambling in the country. If the terms of service forbid a gambler from getting back their money after losses, then the young man has no hope of getting back his money except on humanitarian grounds. The company might decide to help him and also use him for public awareness. But the consequences will be that more people will do the same thing and expect refunds.

But if the law of the land mandates the casino company to ensure that underage gamblers are denied access through KYC, then the casino might be held accountable. Since they failed to restrict underage gambling, the young man might receive back part or all of the money he lost. This will be a legal matter that will be determined by the court.

I will accept that the focus of any government (military or civilian), should be to uplift the living conditions of the people.  But we have seen in Africa is the opposite because most military coups brought more suffering to the people. It brought corruption and extra judicial killings.

But your stance that no coup in Africa has led to the development of the country is not factual.

You need to read about the coup carried out by Thomas Sankara that turned Burkina Faso into a Pan-African state

Check the coup of Jerry Rawlings that improved the Ghanaian economy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Rawlings

Libyans are still regretting the killing of Muammar Gaddafi by a Western-backed insurrection. Libya was better than some European nations when Gaddafi was in power and he will be forever remembered as a great military leader.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muammar_Gaddafi

Murtala Muhammed is celebrated as one of the best Nigerian leaders but he was a military head of state. He changed almost all the sectors of Nigeria positively in a few months.

The Central Bank of any country regulate interest rates so no bank will offer 13% if the apex bank has approved less than that. Commercial banks are strictly regulated in my country because customers deposits are insured. Bitcoin is a long-term investment because the price is highly unpredictable. Sometimes you will have to readjust your Bitcoin investment plans because the price didn't go up as planned. Nobody can predict what the Bitcoin halving will look like,  it might be prosperous or otherwise. I will not introduce somebody to bitcoin because of the predictions of next year's halving.  It is better to convince people to invest for a long time in Bitcoin. But nothing is impossible, one can be lucky to make quick money from the next year halving.

I think Mbappe will excel in any top European except the German and Italian leagues. These two leagues play very physical football which might affect his soft nature. The English league will be preferably for the French international because the latter is less rugged and plays fast football. And Mbappe has the speed to fit into any top team in the EPL. But from his disposition, he might move to Real Madrid next season.  It has been rumored that he has already had an unofficial agreement with the Spanish side. We need to see Mbappe in another league to ascertain his ability to adopt to a new football environment.

Great thinking @OP. I just wish you had such money so that you can contribute to society positively.  It is good to see people like you who have compassion for the poor and have the intention to help them. But instead of giving them money or accommodation, you can identify businesses or investments that can make them self-sufficient. You can start up a program to teach them some skills that will make them get a job and become self-sufficient. When you give them just money, they might end up mismanaging it but a skills or business setup will assist them in gaining lifelong skills.

Your suggestions are positive but everyone has the right to use his money the way he wants. And most people prefer to make more money than to be a socialist. It is also encouraging to see philanthropists like Bill Gates committing Millions of dollars to help the poor, so you are not alone.

Bellingham is the best news that happened to Real Madrid this season. The young player has always delivered the team in important games. The English player is gradually becoming a dominant force not just in Real Madrid but in Europe. This is the beauty of sports when you think that a player is irreplaceable another better player will suddenly be discovered. Nobody expected Bellingham to enjoy this kind of success within a short period.  It just seems that the player is destined for Real Madrid. Braga and Union Berlin are unlikely to qualify because Napoli is the favourite with Real Madrid. But I doubt if Real Madrid would win the game against Napoli in Santiago Bernabéu because they were just fortunate to win yesterday's game.

13% interest upfront and initial deposit locked up for a stimulated time.  I smell something fishy. This is one of the strategies of many Ponzi schemes and scam projects in my country. The pattern is to use deposits to pay the interest and after they have gathered enough amount from clients they will pull an exit scam.

I am sure that many online banks are not insured by the national deposit insurance so customers might lose their funds in cases of bankruptcy. Some of them are not even registered or regulated by relevant authorities. You have to do intensive research before banking with these online platforms.

You still have more work to do. You have to teach your partner about wallets and security. Learning how to keep his coin safe is very important to avoid regrets.

You don't need to write off Chelsea suddenly, the league is still young and they can qualify for any tournament if they continue with the impressive performance against Fulham. Nobody is sure if even Manchester City and the current top four clubs will qualify for any European competition. Chelsea needs a player like Victor Osimhen because he has the quality to maximize most of the goal-scoring chances the club creates. Don't also forget that the pay and his love for the club will also affect his decision. The Napoli teams look united at the surface but the harm has been done. Victor will not be comfortable in Naples and I think he will be more satisfied moving to another club. He has stopped taking penalties and there is still some communication gap between him and the coach and some players.

I have used a Honda car and the product is one of the best. Honda products are strong and durable. This is a piece of great news coming from one of the leading automakers in the world. Although they are using a centralized payment system it is still good for Bitcoin awareness and adoption. I will be willing to spend bitcoin on a Honda car based on the terms and conditions of the intermediary FCF Pay. If they require a KYC document that I am not comfortable giving out, that will be the end of the deal.

Toyota is a popular car brand in my country and it suits our poor infrastructure and high cost of fuel. So I want them to be the next to accept bitcoin.

Honda is a respected global brand. So I will not underestimate the possibility that this move can change investor attention. But it will affect the market sentiment slightly and for a very short term.

Some mistakes can be fatal while others can turn out to be a blessing.  But it is better to avoid such mistakes because the consequences might not be pleasant. I have never made such a mistake before due to the fact that I always check the amount I imputed carefully before clicking. I have made such mistake when I bought more products than I budgeted. I was fortunate that the price increased and I sold my products and made a higher profit. But I would like to make this kind of mistake you made. This is a lucky mistake that brought good fortune. Congratulations.

I don't know the reason why you trusted the game that was given to you. Why are you so certain that you are going to win? And I want to know if you have ever won with these predictions. Sometimes it is good to listen to your intuition or mind but it shouldn't be above what you can afford to lose. It is better to stick to our gambling plan and be content with your wins. Greed is one of the major causes of gambling addiction, therefore, there is a need to follow our gambling budget.

It is normal to regret when you would have won big if you staked a higher some but we have to note that you can also lose the game. It is better to be contended with what you win at any given time to avoid over-gambling. Having the consciousness that you can either lose or win in gambling will help you to forget about the past and keep moving.

The forum members will always give you advice based on their experience or knowledge. It is up to the newbie to decide to take or reject the advice. I don't think anybody will stop you from making your own decision. That is why members will always tell you to do your own research before making your decision.

A newbie in the forum might not be a newcomer in the bitcoin space. Some newbies in the forum might already know about bitcoin trading. But when a newbie with no experience wants to engage in trading, there is need for members of the forum to warn him about the risk involved. Bitcoin trading shouldn't be the first stage for a newbie because it is very risky.

This is a forum and everyone has the right to give his view based on the questions. It is the responsibility of the original poster to choose the advice or comments he wants to accept or reject.

These are some of the important lessons every gambler should learn.  Some people see gambling as an alternative source of income making them invest their money in gambling. Anyone who used his savings or child education fund to gamble is an addict who needs help. Gambling should not have any negative effect on your finances because it is just for fun. Sometimes having a budget is not enough but the main issue is to follow or implement the plan. I have also observed that people usually spend more than their budget when they chase losses. When people take gambling as a source of income they put in more money, time, and other resources.

Everything you have said OP is true. It seems you were speaking to me.  In some cases, it is not money that is hindering us from achieving our dreams but simple things like procrastination and fear of the unknown. We need to take risks because it is even riskier not to take risks. Ideas rule the world so if you have one execute it.  There is no shame in failure because you have just gained some experience. Many great inventors and successful business executives failed so many times but they kept trying. You might be mocked or laughed at but you are better than people that never tried.
