If only Mou had some dope to provide KDB years ago, Klopp must be doing similar with Salah as well
They also don't need to "run far" as they box teams in so well, they run shorter but more intense shuttle runs to shut the space down, rather than long lung bursting runs. This doesn't show up well in distance stats but is way more effective in football.If there was really something to it why aren't opponents making claims like this? I personally don't think there is enough evidence out to make that claim. Man City certainely aren't breaking records in distance covered.
Those three tests that City failed acc. to BBC were them missing out on informing the FA on this or that. They didn't find them to have tested positive.
How would you prove something like this though without a proper investigation from officials? Something that wouldn't just be done on other clubs saying so.Are there Barca, Bayern, City players who have been tested positive? Can't remember.
There are huge money and financial interests in football. City's rivals would to everything they could to prove that something is wrong.
I agree with your general notion there, but why exactly are you directing your implicated accusation only at City if it's more a general trend?I don't know how serious the tests are but doping in Football is real and there are so many articles explaining this, including interviews from the players.
Yep. It’s actually a REALLY big deal but don’t get why it’s not made in football.Whereabouts protocol are there so athletes can't duck tests in order to get their doping cycles right. In athletics such breaches can lead to a competition ban. Football doesn't seem to care about it for some reason.

Thiago Alcantara also breached the rules three times whilst Pep was at Bayern.
Given Bailly, Jones, Pogba etc.'s luck with injury - if we're doping we're using the wrong stuff.Well that would retrospectively settle the Messi vs Ronaldo debate in the saddest way.
Something to be said in our favour, with our injury problems every single season, we must be fairly honest!
I think only two English sides have ever breached the whereabouts rules, City and Fleetwood Town.I agree with your general notion there, but why exactly are you directing your implicated accusation only at City if it's more a general trend?
I have said that in the post itself? There was always doping controversies around Pep when he was a player and when he was managing Barca with fuentes links and all.I agree with your general notion there, but why exactly are you directing your implicated accusation only at City if it's more a general trend?
I think I understood your 2+2 post in that direction, sorry if that's not what you meant. Tbf previous links don't allow to conclude what is happening now. Also Pep is rotating players, but I remember Ancelotti at Madrid not rotating at all but playing the same players twice a week during their famous record breaking victory run. I have trouble seeing the merit on singling City out on that issue based on them breaking the whereabouts rule. What I as a layman gathered is that Doping is not something you can mask by missing one test but it actually takes month.I have said that in the post itself?

There might be so many clubs who dope but it's easy to point out players/managers who have previous history with it.
Thread about pep. Hardly any person mentions Mou, comes in and brings Mou (& his transfer record seemingly) into it... smhIf only Mou had some dope to provide KDB years ago, Klopp must be doing similar with Salah as well

Exactly. How this WUM still isn't banned is tragic. Duncan Castles looks like a sane top editor in the best ever paper compared to this FCBarca guy.Thread about pep. Hardly any person mentions Mou, comes in and brings Mou (& his transfer record seemingly) into it... smh
Completely incorrect. The BALCO scandal exposed athletes that had successfully masked doping tests their entire career whilst being tested at the Olympic level.I think I understood your 2+2 post in that direction, sorry if that's not what you meant.

He’s not a bad football poster, unless something automatically concerns his team, Pep, Mou or Messi/CristianoExactly. How this WUM still isn't banned is tragic. Duncan Castles looks like a sane top editor in the best ever paper compared to this FCBarca guy.
Bournemouth as wellI think only two English sides have ever breached the whereabouts rules, City and Fleetwood Town.

Happy to stand corrected, but these people were masking their use of substance and if you can do that there is no point in missing a test.Completely incorrect. The BALCO scandal exposed athletes that had successfully masked doping tests their entire career whilst being tested at the Olympic level.
Marion Jones was the highest profile athlete of this type. One of the most successful drugs cheats ever but never failed a test.
City could have found players to be testing positive in their internal tests and failed to let testers know when they could be tested to avoid being caught, as a simple example.
I'd much sooner have nobody doing it than everybodyIf this is true and there is enough evidence to make a compelling case, why aren't United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs doing something to stop it?
Either it's mostly myths, or everyone else does it too. So it doesn't really matter too much.
A thread about Pep doping himself & his players, a thread without any actual evidence yet permissible. If the premise were true, then wouldn't all the players he's ever coached or seen do well under him be implicated as well? If player A, say as in KDB, who was marginalized by one coach (Mou) somehow became invaluable years later under Pep it has be down to the doping?Thread about pep.

He is a United fan but articles and bits and pieces can be easily found..What's with the source on this @JoaquinJoaquin? Is it just some random United fan?
Reads a bit like @Scholsey's twitter feed when he was banned from the Caf. Seems legit
You were part of the placebo control group last season, Chelsea got the good stuff.Weird how there wasn't much of this talk last season when we were 3rd/4th.
Taking it to the next level. Think Pep increased the dose, going all out this seasonWeird how there wasn't much of this talk last season when we were 3rd/4th.
Sorry, Dare I speak a bad word about the Messiah Pep.Any chance the OP can put a question mark at the end of doping in the thread title? After all, Guardiola was eventually cleared of all charges relating to doping at Brescia: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-Pep-Guardiolas-failed-drug-test-in-2001.html
I think some of our players were using performance-reducing drugs on occasions last seasonWeird how there wasn't much of this talk last season when we were 3rd/4th.
That's because no-one gives a shit about losers.Weird how there wasn't much of this talk last season when we were 3rd/4th.
I'm thinking more of this forum and legal issues as it's all speculation for now.Sorry, Dare I speak a bad word about the Messiah Pep.
Whether or not the thread has any evidence or is factually untrue etc still has nothing to do with you taking a shot at Mou.A thread about Pep doping himself & his players, a thread without any actual evidence yet permissible. If the premise were true, then wouldn't all the players he's ever coached or seen do well under him be implicated as well? If player A, say as in KDB, who was marginalized by one coach (Mou) somehow became invaluable years later under Pep it has be down to the doping?
Or is the premise that the player who was found innocent of doping somehow able to get his teams playing great football by doping all of them? I guess that means Bayern are a level below now because they no longer benefit from said doping?
