There is an infamous scene in the german movie about the WC '06 where Olli Kahn gets told his pee cup isn't full enough, he gets mad and slams cup plus content in a corner.
Can’t be good for him long term. His body might break down at a young ageJesus went to Cugat in Barcelona and now he’ll be back in 2 weeks
I know, football doesn't seem to care about PEDS. Pep's Barca and City side both breached the 'whereabouts' rule to a degree that sees track athletes get a 1-2 year competition ban, City got fined a few quid.
City don't need defensive reinforcements now so Stones is the "see this is proof we don't dope" card
Stem cells maybe as the previous user said?
Is that not very dangerous?
Wouldn't those blood samples be from 2006?
Is that against the rules?
Isn't that exactly what actually happens? Just ask Phil Jones.
The best way to aid recovery from injury is to increase oxygen flow, there are PEDS for that, EPO for one. That is where the suspicion comes from.

Yes, WADA did put an end to it in 2005 but Ramón Cougat from Hospital Quiron still treats players. Esp players from Spain, but also players from PL, Serie A, Bundesliga etc..
Goodness only knows. At least WADA actually has them now.
haha true - forgot about that story. I imagine it could be done a lot more than it is
If they got caught doping, they should be fined and relegated. It questions the whole integrity of the sport.
Yeah what I wonder is if there are methods that improve fitness so much why don't other teams use it. Although it could be the same regarding how teams train and what methods they use. Some might be ahead of the others.Stem cell therapy for Jesus. What is bizarre is certain clubs like the London ones have access to Harley Street doctors and professionals, yet their injury records are terrible. City have had the money to get the best care, yet only when Guardiola arrived have we seen considerable improvement in terms of their fitness and stamina. Maybe it's who you know, not what.

I'm not for one minute suggesting City are a team full of dopers, but you have to be pretty naive thinking doping doesn't go on in the sport. Anyway it just feels like it's a season where everything has fallen into place for City. So it should come crashing down the next.
Nope. Ronaldo reportedly used it last year, and lots of NFL stars have had the treatment.
I figured! Jesus' injury is probably not as bad as reported or initially diagnosed. We'll see when he actually returns to the field.
Well as I created the thread let me speak as it has annoyed you so much for some reason. The question mark is because given Pep's history, there are question marks on him and if you have done the research you would see there is evidence (and speculation to boot) of his usage, so I created the thread to discuss that. Turns out the thread has brought a bigger discussion of peds in football into it and with that there has been some excellent posts.
To me a thread (with a title) like this a week after losing the derby and the league to City comes across as the RedCafe version of Mourinho suggesting the UEFA was favouring Barcelona because they were sponsored by UNICEF after losing the semi-finals of the Champions League. I don't like it, but to each his own I guess.
No i don't. It seems like Pep is somewhat of an outlier in that he is very obvious in his use of 'special doctors'. He even had a falling out with the Bayern medical staff because they wanted to treat their own players and he wanted the 'special doctor' to treat them.
What about the spike in on pitch deaths in the 00’s in Spain when EPO doping was rumoured to be prevalent?
If everything is in the open; there would be a much more thorough process for mitigating side effects. I can be quite confident in saying that EPO deaths almost always require a pre-existing condition or genetic history. And a lot of deaths come from medical malpractice.
