There are valid arguements for and against those injections. Personally, I'd rather not force athletes that aren't 100% fit, but there is enough evidence to support that forcing them is "safe enough" in some cases, and if the player wants to play then it's almost certain he will.
It was a huge game against Brazil, and they have El Clásico del Pacífico against Peru this week. It's understandable if both Chile and the player want to take risks imo.
i would rather see it if the doctors had more powers and prevent players who are not fit from playing
never gonna happen of course
there are so many careers ruined by this and lets not forget that doping/illegal substances in football are not about better performances for the game, but rather for regeneration and playing despite problems....
i experienced that myself, in my old u19 squad on the second highest level in germany you just had to say the word and you got showered with painkillers and other stuff (not the most serious things of course, but you get the idea)
and its getting more if my observations are not entirely wrong
