Ah right, that must make it true then. Well in, Rumpole, case closed.
Do you know anything about football drug testing and how it works? What do you think they find most often?

Long acting ventolin is a wonderful thing as are inhaled steroids, allows you to run about for ages

If our club was accused of that our chairman would be straight on it

I’m not doubting that Sancho was hasty to scarper but could the club have given him more opportunities to do well? Great point about Foden, in total agreement, but they could have done the same with him and saved themselves all manner of cash? Of course there’ll be other factors we cant possibly quantify however they must be fuming to see how he’s eventually panned out. Incredible talent and would have been brilliant in your system.

As regards Sancho it was a shame that he didn’t have the mentality to stick it out, but that attitude would have been an issue sooner it later and for that reason and that reason only we will never have him back. The money issue is a mixed one, it will certainly cost to develop/buy an alternative but there is a sell on fee.

Or like another team geographically close to us, we had three splendid years then suffered a big drop off in levels. That’s just the nature of top level football. But on the subject of supplements etc, every single elite club in the world uses them to as far as the law lets them. The margins are so fine that every little advantage will be eked out.
Question; do you believe that Man City players take nothing in the way of supplements or anything like that?

Some great quotes from that article you cited:

“According to a source close to the club, of 35 players 22 are asthmatic – 63% of the squad, over five times higher than the 12% UK average.”

and:

“Liverpool cannot win this season because physically, scientifically and morally they cannot. They cannot overdose again on caffeine because of the side-effects. They cannot keep up the pace with other substances and painkillers because the amounts needed to win the league would cause a slew of injuries.”

You say the article is a load of rubbish and that is a very easy to say but if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s a duck!

As regards “supplements” and our team if we have taken anything wrong we haven’t done it very well. We play a slow buildup, don’t engage in overly physical challenges and still get injuries!

How do you know that your players aren’t taking them? Here’s the answer, you don’t know unless you’ve got an in to the training ground.
And why on earth would any professional club entertain some sad little bedroom virgin that has zero quantifiable evidence? If you knew anything about the testing process, it’s almost impossible to get away with it. That’s what clubs devote their energies to stretching those regulations as far as they go.
Have a nice evening.

You are starting to get a bit obnoxious again. Do you honestly think it is almost impossible to get away with it? If that was the case athletes would never try it and they clearly do, you only know of those caught (or nearly caught in Rio Ferdinand’s case!)

Like I said before if it looks dodgy in all ways it is.

I could write exactly the same article about City and it would have the same legal or literate weight - the square root of fuck all. There is nothing in that article that has any form of tangible reference. Lines like ‘According to a source close to the club’ could come out of any given day or indeed hour on SSN. Journos use that sort of bollocks because it boosts a story and is completely unprovable.
On the supplements front, you’ve spent three years or so achieving on the highest plains. Perhaps that’s where they benefitted you? Or maybe neither team has taken illegal drugs and it’s just that they’re two brilliant football teams that are across the way* from each other. I know which I think is more likely.
