Answered your own question.What happened to the expose that one of the papers did a few years back? The one about the French doctor doping Leicester and a few other football teams?
Seemed to have a lot of legs before quickly being swept under the carpet.
Pep was caught doping whilst playing was he not? Even Bayern's doctor brought up doping when pressed about his relationship with pep completely out of the blue.
I think it's wrong to say it's just one or two teams doing it, but it's obviously rife from where I'm standing and it's clear that one or two teams tend to use these methods more prevalent than others.
There too much face for UEFA or FIFA to lose if doping was found to be widespread, it'd mean a complete rebuild of football as we know it, less money involved and less interest, hence these stories about doping keep getting shunted to the side and quickly forgotten.
It's going to take someone with a high enough profile to come out and make a stand against it. Lance Armstrong managed to keep everyone quiet for years in a sport about a thousand times smaller. Football will be a far harder nut to crack.
