i know the clubs issued statements denying any doping clames, calling them "without foundation" but i'm curious, what's your take on the whole story?
did the doctor just make all of that up, is he just a poser?

Zero evidence so far, but interested to see the official investigation.

The "doctor" is being done for other things non doping related and said himself the players he treated were for valid medical grounds. So no idea what to think.

Without any kind of substancial evidence there's no reason to think there's doping. If there's something to investigate, then let's hope they do and they clear everything up.

I'd be surprised if this turned out to be true though. It would be stupid if a player individually took illegal substances in a sport like football, he's bound to be caught eventually and the improvements in his performance will almost never be worth it in this sport (Giovanella is an example of this). Would only make sense if a club had a doctor doping the whole team (like Inter in the 60s, several italian clubs in the 80s, or OM during the early 90s), but nowadays that's pretty much impossible to do.

> random shady doctor says he gave drugs to players
> newspaper reports it to make headlines
> fender takes the claim seriously

there's doping in every league

sexo, would you in interested in some magic beans I've got for sale?

says who? i'm interested in your take on the story, that's all i ever said, stop being so paranoid...

well, aside from the fact that doping in football isnt as effective as in most other sports, i think that there definitely are shady doctors and methods involved at some point

there are many grey areas that will of course be exploited, no doubt about that

the good thing about football is that a shit player will never become a world beater, no matter what substances he uses

Yes every club but chelsea is doping thats why were midtable this season

theyve been doping with the super russian roids since 2004.
