Following the story, the doctor tweeted the following: "The Sunday Times allegations are false and very misleading. I never had a relationship with any premier football club or player."Leicester were named by the dr that's why it's being talked about
Journalists? Doctor? Mostly not. Why should we be surprised at a newspaper letting innuendo get in the way of facts?
Harley Street physician Dr. Mark Bonar, who, according to the General Medical Council (GMC) is not licensed to practise medicine in this country, is alleged to have set up a clinic where he supposedly - according to the Sunday Times - prescribed steroids, erythropoietin (EPO), human growth hormone and other performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) to over 150 sportspeople, including professional footballers at Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester City and Birmingham, tennis players, British Tour de France cyclists, an England cricketer and a British boxing champion.
Can it be right that football teams, players and some of our best sportsmen and women will now have doubt cast upon them? As the ST has not named anyone, everyone becomes 'guilty', which seems most unfair. I think the ST has history with 'unfounded doping allegations' (Paula Ratcliffe). If they've got evidence that sportsmen and women are using illegal means to enhance performance they should publish it. If they're just sensationalising a non-story, they should be held to account. I hope Leicester, Arsenal and Chelsea take them to the cleaners.
