Except 13/14, they can keep their points for that season.Pep should be banned forever and City should be fined 10 points for each of the last 5 seasons

Didn’t Wenger speak out about it a few years back? He didn’t point any fingers at specific clubs but I’m sure I remember him claiming it was going on. Then a couple of seasons ago - during the season Leicester won the Premier League - an article appeared in one of the more reputable newspapers about a doctor who said he’d been involved in blood doping of footballers. 3 clubs were named - Leicester, Chelsea, and, ahem, Arsenal. All 3 clubs put out very similar worded statements denying any wrongdoing (you’d be forgiven for thinking the same person had written all 3 statements), the article soon became tomorrow’s chip paper, Leicester won the league, and I don’t think Wenger has ever spoken about doping since!The circumstantial case is great but doesn't mean anything.
Agree with bolded part. If there was something going on for real, everybody else would try to prove it. Unless of course everyone else also does it anyway, and its that City do it better.
Ha was my thought also in that game he was like a raging pit bull never seen him play like that before.This could explain how David Silva suddenly turned into Gattuso against us in the derby. And probably why him and Pep are bald now.
They have, but they glued the hair Pep & Silva lost onto their heads. Wake up, sheeples!Why only him and Pep why haven't the rest gone bald too?
In case anyone is really wondering about the reason David Silva had a hair transplant and therfore had his head shaved.Not very diplomatic

Haha. Maybe if we remove all the result City had it will still go well? Could Chelsea get it instead?Except 13/14, they can keep their points for that season.
I think that might be the more silly things. Clubs not doing well probably do the same. Not like they didn't do it last season and suddenly started this season.Well, most of the people in this forum have been saying that City is dope this season...

You were talking about the Prem. We all know Juve were doped to the gills in the 90s and the general controversy around Spainish sport. As for your German doctor with the dodgy barnet, didn't he work with your boy Pep too?The only one
A few seconds of googling turn up doping-related irregularities with all sorts of top clubs, yes, even those Pep never managed.

Pep ousted him, in fact. Must have gotten the prescriptions wrong.You were talking about the Prem. We all know Juve were doped to the gills in the 90s and the general controversy around Spainish sport. As for your German doctor with the dodgy barnet, didn't he work with your boy Pep too?
All that aside, there is no manager in top level football who has anywhere near as much smoke round him as Pep, that can't be denied.Pep ousted him, in fact. Must have gotten the prescriptions wrong.
And I wasn't talking of the PL exclusively or specifically, I just cited its extreme amount of fixtures as a factor for the "need" for doping.
I'd be full of PED too, if I were that good looking.The evidence is irrefutable - this is Pep last week:
Yes, because it is painfully transparent that there's no serious discussion to be had. Majority here actually don't give a shit about doping and how it affects the sport in general, just angry, butthurt fans looking for any way to explain away how City are doing so well so far this season.Thread about pep. Hardly any person mentions Mou, comes in and brings Mou (& his transfer record seemingly) into it... smh
Exactly.Yes, because it is painfully transparent that there's no serious discussion to be had. Majority here actually don't give a shit about doping and how it affects the sport in general, just angry, butthurt fans looking for any way to explain away how City are doing so well so far this season.
Lowkey pathetic. Reminding me of the psychotic Federer fans who would scream "doping" at Nadal when the latter was still owning Federer consistently.
Conte?All that aside, there is no manager in top level football who has anywhere near as much smoke round him as Pep, that can't be denied.

IIRC Wenger talked about players that Arsenal bought from abroad with blood passports suggesting that they had been doped.

Mentions Birmingham City too. It was in the Sunday Times originally but can’t find a link to that.
AS opposed to the legal doping?The fact that the Spanish courts destroyed evidence makes me very suspicious of Spanish sport in that era. Don't think City are illegally doping though.
Your reply has missed the point completely. I’m not too fussed about city, nor butt hurt about their deserved lead & form.Yes, because it is painfully transparent that there's no serious discussion to be had.

I read that there is a limit to which players can be 'doped'.AS opposed to the legal doping?
Spot on. This is how far we've fallen that some posters are getting giddy talking about it. Excuses after excuses for us. First it's we can't play without Pogba, Pogba was there when we lost to Bristol City. Now it's city are doping. Maybe they have enough energy because they have 70%+ of the ball every game?Yes, because it is painfully transparent that there's no serious discussion to be had.

Liverpool fans had accused us anything but doping, or doing anything illegal. I don't see the parallel.So this is how it feels to be Liverpool fans, we are almost there . Take a bit of news without proper investigation and come to the conclusion that pep cheated.
Pep might just be a very good manager you know, instead of analysing why 'midgets' like sterling are running so much.
Without doubt.Yes. Both the peak Barca team and Spanish national team were doped to the tits IMO.
We had fa in our pockets and old red nose cheated his way to titles. They kept hoping that something would come up which will tie united to bribing refs, fa.Liverpool fans had accused us anything but doping, or doing anything illegal. I don't see the parallel.
“Without being caught by tests”. If other evidence came forward that they had been doping just under the testing levels it’s still a ban.I read that there is a limit to which players can be 'doped'.
What I find most telling is how bad his relationship was with Bayern medical staff. Maybe they weren't willing to comply with his miracle making?I don't believe it myself, but I do find it odd how a team of midgets can run their tits off all season and avoid almost all minor injuries. In the rare scenario they do get injured they usually come back much earlier than expected. Maybe he just has a great medical/fitness staff, I really don't know.
The talk about them dominating possession therefore not getting tired is rubbish too. If anything the intensity they play with would be even more tiring, they're always closing down players, closing down passing avenues, running in behind the defence, creating overloads etc.
For sone substances, but then there are others that are illegal no matter. It’s quite bad if they have their players on enhancements either way. What are the long term effects?I read that there is a limit to which players can be 'doped'.
So De Gea and Mata are doping too?Without doubt.
Every wonder why Operation Puerto didn't go anywhere? Football was involved.
