Indeed. They need to go further and bring in blood tests and biological passports.

Well if we have, my money is on the drug of choice being marijuana.I would hope City would never get involved in this kind of thing. Cannot imagine the possibility that we would. But we do have a few players (well one anyway) who might be described as a dope. Thinking of a certain MDM. Hopefully that does not count.

Willie surprised a lot of us at Wembley...

You must have been in a private box.
I said as much in another thread a few weeks ago. However if it is true I doubt whether we will ever find out. Their running stats are remarkable compared to last year athough interestingly they won seven if their last eight last season so maybe we are being a little harsh on them.EPO would be one. It increases oxygen supply to the muscles, enabling players to run faster, further and for longer. One study of the effects of EPO showed a 54% increase in performance within four weeks of starting it.
Now think about that and think about a team that was, on all indicators, one of the least fit last season and is suddenly, on those same indicators, one of the most fit. And it wasn't gradual, it was virtually overnight. and from escaping relegation by the skin of their teeth,they're about to win the league. As much as I like Ranieri, there is simply no other rational explanation.

Vardy had surgery and came back 9 days later.

Apparently it's MDM he took something that made him slower than he looks.

Might be a bit harsh PB, and Eds makes the same point. Leicester were exceptional at the back end of last season, and Pearson certainly wouldn't have the same contacts in Italy that Ranieri has. Wasn't it that bastion of fair play milan that started all this blood spinning shit with the milan laboratory? Would help to explain why maldini and baresi were still at the highest level approaching 40 years old.
