The true secret of Leicester City's success / doping thread merged

Even if that were the case, it is inconceivable that they other players in the squad aren't in on it if its a big enough group of players, like you suggest. Given the sums involved, the capacity for blackmail would be overwhelming.

Yep, not saying definitely happened but you only have to look at Lance Armstrong and the amount of his team mates that knew what was going on, but kept quiet due to pressure put on them

But do you seriously think foul play via drugs is to account for their season? Or a togetherness, luck with injuries and a system to beat teams nobody has managed to replicate?

Yes I do, if the doping allegations are true. While Ranieri is a good coach, I don't believe he is good enough to do a fucking miracle. Still cringed to think about the disaster he had back in his second stint in Valencia. The team's luck with injuries did seem a bit unnatural considering their past fitness. And it is not as if togetherness and a system to beat teams (I don't exactly like that system, but I have to admit there were no right ways to win a match.) alone are enough to let them run away in the league this season. At least I don't remember any teams did that with mere journeymen.

Don't think the whole squad do it though. But certain players did seem suspicious. And it is not a rarity for doping to happen in sports, so the whole league needs investigations. Also, when you consider the lack of medical conduct of the doctor in question, he does seem the type to give out banned drugs.

Of course I may be wrong about that but an investigation on doping and subsequent follow-up actions to improve the current testing system is long overdue.
 
The allegations are out so now what ? Do the FA ignore it or have they sent in the drug testing swat team in to kick the door in at 6am ?
 
I'd just like to say a few people have said they suspect Leicester of doping over the past few months and have been laughed at and belittled.

You'd have to be so naive and deluded to not suspect anything when City constantly have 20 injuries and Leicester, Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea never have any and can run through brick walls with the same 11 and no injuries all season.
