Does anyone remember this story?

I think the whole country is looking forward to some nice new juicy info but it will end up being this getting confirmed.

Durham on Talksport said he knows players that are put on the injury list to prevent them from being drug tested.
That is one fuckin big loophole if true.

I don't see the problem with players taking non performance enhancing drugs to be honest.

I don't buy the role model bullshit, raise your own kids.

If I was on 20k a week or more, I'd be smacked off my tits 24/7.

If a club knows in advance we're coming, and the club suspects one of their players, they keep him off training and his name doesn't appear on the list I am given.

That article is over 8 years old though, I'd expect it to be different now. ;)

Be interesting to see if Wio pops up in this for many reasons, even though it was made public.

Someone who plays Liverpool(not Carroll) and someone who used to play for Everton instantly spring to mind
