Doping scandal

[Humongous Fungus]

I dont see the problem with it, it never did harm to United's image having Jaap Stam and Rio. Probably won them a few titles along the way to.

Wouldn't you enjoy punching that face over and over and over again?

He obviously doesn't practice his craft on himself!

 

[Stocky]

The reason why Silkyman is so jealous of Leicester is because this run for the title they're going on is what he thought it would be like for Man City. This is what he dreamt of, plucky little Man City taking on the big boys to win the title. But it wasn't like that was it? Because everyone knows they've done it via financial doping and nobody really cared. They've become everything they hated.

Leicester will be a brilliant story. A proper club who haven't had to do it via means of Sheikh £.

Given that Wenger actually come out and said he believes doping to happen within the game (even alluding to signings from abroad having odd readings in their medicals), I seriously doubt anything has happened under his watch since it would be strange to draw attention to the issue. Added to that, judging from all the injuries we get we've probably been injecting our players with Bovril or something. That being said I'm sure there have been instances of desperate players going rogue (horse placenta anyone?).

I doubt this doctor knows jack shit though, doesn't seem like a trustworthy bloke.

Total bollocks really then surely? Let's just name some of the biggest players at clubs that have won or are challenging for the title to draw a bit of attention.
Kante for instance was performing the same way for us as he was at Caen, last season. So the shy lad that can barely speak English came here in the summer and immediately decided that despite statistically topping the tackling and interception charts in European football he needed a boost to carry on doing what he had already been doing consistently anyway.
Dele Alli thought "You know what, the Premier league is a step up from league 1, I better start getting doped up so I can hack it",
Gabriel, a guy who barely featured for Arsenal came to terms with the idea that when he got his chance he'd have to play like Superman, and therefore got some kryptonite injected into his arse without realising that kryptonite does in fact have the opposite effect on the superhero alien character and as a result he's had a mare in a few games.
All seems a bit convenient for the story. Though I'm surprised Vardy wasn't mentioned.

Aye. As expected it was rubbish. Some guy with a history of talking shit. States he's written for ESPN despite no published articles.

Zero credibility.

Do managers necessarily know, though? Maybe players (and their entourage) could be doing it without anyone else's knowledge?

Just for fun, I'm going to identify our most likely dopers (and I bet we, like every team, has some). Coquelin and Sanchez.

 

[Christian Slater]

I'm positive van Gaal took PEDs before the last Arsenal game.

 

[snortingfrogs]

I don't doubt some players at some clubs has done some doping, possible some at Liverpool as well.
i bet most (if not all) have done it without the managers knowledge though, and I hope lifetime bans for the players and that they will have to pay back every pound they've earned to the clubs.

 

[G-Dragon]

Leicester getting points docked and not winning the league would be a fairy tail ending.

 

[JimJams]

And we'd still finish above Liverpool!

LOL

 

[JaseTheVillain]

30 point deductions for all of the bottom five, with the exception of the one club who obviously haven't done any doping, please.

Yeah probably not, I mean I don't think Wenger would let it happen knowingly under his watch, but like I said it wouldn't surprise me if players went rogue and did it anyway. For us RVP would be a prime suspect, always injury prone and then suddenly doesn't get injured for 2 years? Should have given some of what he was having to Diaby the poor bloke.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

It will probably get swept under the rug like when that doctor basically admitted that he's been drugging the Spanish national team.

Spanish government signed off on the blood samples from those players be destroyed... not at all suspect.

[Mustard]

Kolo's been fixing him up some weight loss pills?

 

[G-Dragon]

Just look at his face! Won't be surprised.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Tbf he's fucking awful. His performance at St. Marys was a joy to watch from the home ends.

"Until Sakho I was never happy"

 

[Stevencc]

Mamadou Smackho.

 

[JimJams]

Certainly not performance enhancing ones anyway...

 

[SALTIRE]

Ah posted about this in the match day thread. I'm more concerned that Shitkel will be coming in now and that'll mean season over. Ffs.

You spelt Skrtel wrong m8.

 

[SALTIRE]

Yeah I hope it's Kolo who comes in ahead of that idiot. Not sure he will though.

 

[snortingfrogs]

Thank fuck for this, if Sakho the King is found guilty.
"Liverpool are not facing any sanctions as a club, with the matter purely a player issue."

 

[Bilo]

Fucking hell. Right when we have a decent, settled back four he goes ahead and does that.

Depressing.

 

[Stevencc]

Won't Kolo's mum take the rap for it this time then?

 

[SALTIRE]

Guilty until found innocent eh Bilo?

 

[Bilo]

Guilty until found innocent eh Bilo?

Yeah well I can't think of anyone caught in test A then passing test B. Feel free to throw up some examples, maybe I'm missing something but for me he's found guilty in the first test and it's up to him to prove his innocence now. Which I sincerely doubt he will.

 

[G-Dragon]

If its 6 months ban he won't miss much of next season at least.
