Sunday Times To Reveal Doping Scandal

Recommended Posts

Posted

Just read the article and I'm surprised that they have published it. The only 'evidence' is the Doctor's word. It's totally wrong that from that and that only they have chosen four clubs to highlight.

Does make you think they must know more than they are letting on though for it to be published.

They obviously had suspicions to go under cover.

So he claims to be working with an ex fitness-coach as a close team, but the coach denies doping happened under his watch at a club, or referring players to the doctor, while also treating players with common PEDs that wouldn't get past a drug test. Guys obviously just out for his 15 minutes of fame.

What a total non story that it. What has happened to journalistic standards in the print media in this country.

Dubious doctor makes vague allegations with no names etc.

Nothing to concern anyone here.

None story, players are dope tested all the time! 95% of stories in newspapers are BS!

If they had proof they would name people!

Just really p*sses me off that papers get away with this sh*t all the time

The guy is up for a medical tribuneral in a few days, there is no evidence, the dates are hazy at best, he seems a complete salad. There is nothing to worry about and they guy will be in court a few more times in the next few years.

I agree with this but the conspiracy theories going around before this were bad enough but now they will actually believe the shite they're spouting

It's wrong to print though because now we're plastered with "doping" comments.

 

lol so what? if it's turns out to be not true and that this guy was just being a monumental cockend who wanted his 15 minutes of fame, who gives a shit?

If it's not proved with hard evidence I don't give a shit. The twitter-sphere is a world of bullshit that nobody with two brain cells takes seriously.

This isn't "The Twittersphere" it's The Sunday Times.

I'm certain there's nothing in it given the fact that the "doctor" involved is clearly a total charlatan but as I said earlier, mud sticks.

The only thing that concerns me slightly is this - remember when Pearson got sacked in the summer. His daughter tweeted something in the early morning about us being a corrupt club.

She later deleted the tweet.

Obviously she could have meant anything and was most likely just being bitter but just thought I would mention it anyway!

Bloody hell, this is getting ridiculous now

Probe After Claim Footballers Got Banned Drugs

A British doctor is filmed telling reporters he gave performance-enhancing drugs to Premier League stars and other top sportsmen.

22:53, UK, Saturday 02 April 2016

Dr Mark Bonar, filmed by the Sunday Times

An inquiry has been ordered into the UK Anti-Doping watchdog after reports a doctor prescribed banned drugs to 150 sportsmen.

An investigation by The Sunday Times reports that Dr Mark Bonar charged sports stars, including Premier League footballers, thousands of pounds for performance-enhancing drug programmes.

The culture secretary, John Whittingdale, has ordered an inquiry.

The inquiry will focus on the taxpayer-funded UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) watchdog, which was apparently given evidence about the doctor’s doping activities two years ago, but failed to take any action to stop him.

Dr Bonar is alleged to have made a series of disclosures in meetings with undercover reporters from the Sunday newspaper.

In the meetings, the doctor reportedly claimed his network of secret "clients" included an England cricketer, cyclists, boxers, tennis players and martial arts competitors.

Several Premier League stars were also among his clients, the doctor told reporters.

The Sunday Times makes it clear it has no independent evidence Dr Bonar actually treated the players and only has his word for it.

Since 2010, he claims to have treated more than 150 sports people from the UK and abroad.

Banned substances that were allegedly prescribed included erythropoietin (EPO), steroids and human growth hormone.

Mr Whittingdale said: "I am shocked and deeply concerned by these allegations.

"Sports fans are entitled to be sure that what they are watching is true and fair with all athletes competing on a level playing field.

"Once again, I am grateful to the excellent investigative journalism by the Sunday Times for bringing these apparent abuses to light.

"I have asked for there to be an urgent independent investigation into what action was taken when these allegations were first received and what more needs to be done to ensure that British sport remains clean.

"There is no room for complacency in the fight against doping and the Government is already looking at whether existing legislation in this area goes far enough.

"If it becomes clear that stronger criminal sanctions are needed then we will not hesitate to act."

Claims, Allegations, words, Just an interview...no corregation, nor cross checking,

and this is the Sunday Times.

Sorry it stinks.

Not us, I mean it's not like we've got a dedicated thread about it all.

Sure. But I was replying to foxfanzers post about people believing the conspiracy theories. My point is, as long as the ST claims are disproved I don't care what people think in the future.

well it's all speculation right now, hence why I said, 'if it turns out to be not true'

There is a huge amount of speculation and no actual evidence.

One thing that unfortunately will be dragged up is the stuff about the Chelsea fitness coach between 2001-2007, which covers the time when Ranieri was in charge. Hopefully it doesn't cause any distraction.
