Roy's dilemma: Ferdinand or Terry

According pundits on Radio 5 this is Roy Hogdson's big dilemma this week. Should he pick John Terry or Rio Feedinand for the forthcoming Euros?

What an awful choice.

Should the new England manager pick a proven drug cheat who has been patchy with his form this season and, as he's getting on a bit, is likely to be tiring after a long season, or should he choose a hot-headed thug, with a poor disciplinary record this season, who hasa pending court case for racist abuse and who has also been off form lately?

Drug cheat or racist thug? Tough choice.

I hope Hodgson surprises everyone. Nobody is expecting much from the team at the Euros this year. Why not pass over all the tired has beens, skip a generation and pick a youthful squad who will be the core of his selections as England, hopefully, head towards the next World Cup in Brazil in 2014.

Sadly, I fear he'll give the old guard a final hurrah - and, consequently, England won't get beyond the group stage.

COMMENT: Dwain Chambers should not be selected for the Olympics

Tomorrow's pre-announced decision from the Court of Arbitration for Sport is fundamentally flawed. Cheats like Dwain Chambers and David Millar should never be selected to represent their country again.

While we have national selection, it should be up to each nation to set its own criteria but, surely, when someone has been proven to blatantly cheat for financial gain, has wrecked other competitors careers and hasn't named names they should never be allowed to compete again, let alone be selected to represent a nation at high profile, and, ultimately, profitable events like the Olympics.

Let's be honest, if Dwain Chambers wins the 100m gold will anyone be pleased? Will anyone, even the most patriotic, feel it is good for the country? And will I be the only one wondering whether he is genuinely clean?

The likes of Chambers and Millar, and Ben Johnson, and Linford Christie, and Chrustine for that matter, knew what the rules were. They chose to break them. They shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a spots stadium ever again, and they certainly shoukdnt be allows anywhere near young athletes.

The British Olympic Assiciation's stance is good and should be lauded. Their upholding of anti drug cheat laws should be the gold standard to which all nations should aspire. The BOA shouldn't be forced to lower their standards to those of other countries.

Cheats are cheats. They made a choice. The CAS decision is a travesty of justice.
