Sunday Times tomorrow expected to have a story alluding to premiership players doping

Tomorrow's Sunday Times will break a series of doping allegations that implicate Premier League footballers among others. The story will lead tomorrow's front page, and alleges that 150 sportspeople have been prescribed Performance Enhancing Drugs. It is believed that this list includes players currently playing in the Premier League.

I have seen the front cover of The Sunday Times. A British doctor claims to have doped 150 athletes, including British cyclists who ridden the Tour.

I don't know if this is true but I follow Tim Payton on twitter who's spokesperson of the Arsenal Supporters Trust and he said the doctor in the article said he has helped Arsenal players dope.

So what does Arsene "mr clean" Wenger have to say about this?

"Uhhh.. I didn't see it" or something to that effect probably

Don't trust those tweets. Daniel Ainsworth claims to be editor at ESPN, but I can't find any information on him anywhere. False flag.


As I said in the other topic, he's a twitter troll who posts made up crap. ESPN have confirmed he's not with them nor has he ever been

thanks for clarifying that guys.
makes sense.
if there'd be names, the ST and/or Seppelt would've most likely come forward with that.

So The Secret Footballer suggests that these players, if this is true, were probably all of the same agent. Jorge Mendes - 'the most powerful man in football', representative of Cristiano Ronaldo, representative of José Mourinho, representative of all those bizarrely inconsistent Portugese players Manchester United signed - perhaps? David Conn at the Guardian has done some execllent reporting on his shady network of sordid deals, and from that it's not much of a step to PED use.

anyone else noticed the new football body is about ~3% less heavy than the last decade, but actually may carry 1% more functional muscle/tissue. waist is smaller, forearms and arms, noticably leaner, the legs leaner, now look like a stallion or greyhound is litheness and supple(ness).

why?

how did I come to ~3%? You wannn[sic] underwater weighing and weight scales weighing like Coyle and the science in a peer review journal science science?

dont have that weight and evidence. I just have my own eyes, they look much leaner, no more the Danish players of the past few decades who were shortish with thick tree trunk legs. The era of tree trunk legs in fudbol, is OVER!
My eyes say differently.

exception that proves the rule. gareth bale and christiano with the 31 inch waists

I think they've got more information, but the truth of the matter is that so far all leaks of this sort - Snowdon, Cables, Lux, HSBC - have changed precisely nothing, and haven't even stuck in the public consciousness. Nothing illegal has been found yet, and I don't think anything will; it's a law firm, for crying out loud.

if America wanted to do something, they could

but they dont.

The UBS scandal a few years back, was the exception that proves the rule. the SEC revolving door rule. The banker does not get the perp walk with the cameras. They have one or two Bernie Maddof to sate the public resent. or salve it. ineffectively, no solution. But is this a paradox, and if there is no problem there is no real solution, there is just human behaviour and nature.

I think actually Gorski may have done to work for one of the Swiss I-banks on Wall Street. I dont think it was Och. Someone will know. RaceRadio told me that LAnce would not have had his money stashed in that UBS scandal year back.

It's quite clearly a farce. 2016 will be joke of a sporting year. Olympics, Euro 2016, TDF 2016 etc... Whats the point?

I'm really looking forward to seeing which team at Euro 16 goes mutant and outruns literally everyone over 90 minutes, given the decline of extraterrestrial specialists Spain and Germany for non-clinical reasons. My bet's on France; they've got everyone's favourite running robot Kante, they have a decent team filled with 'hard workers', but ripe for improvement, they're the hosts. If only members of their squad could stop blackmailing each other, they'd be perfectly set up. I'd really like to see Northern Ireland go full ***. That would he hilarious.
