BigMicky Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Anyone related to Barca or the Spanish national team.
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Some Manchester based journo reckons he will release the name of 14 players involved currently playing for top four sides at 9-30. Not long to wait then though until the ST article is available we won't know the substance (pardon the pun) EDIT: he has tweeted 7 LCFC, 2 Spurs, 1 afc and 1 MCFC involved Just saw that on Twitter. How genuine is this guy?Edit. @robertrea says he has seen the report which is based on 1 doctor with no independent corroboration.
goose2010 Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 The front page is on Twitter now some doc reckons he has doped 150 sportsman over the years, no names are mentioned. It sounds like another bullshit story that has no substance. Hilarious reading Twitter though Arsenal fans are brilliant
VLC86 Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 On today's first half evidence if Sakho at Liverpool wasn't on smack I will be surprised.
st albans fox Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Just saw that on Twitter. How genuine is this guy? Edit. @robertrea says he has seen the report which is based on 1 doctor with no independent corroboration. Apparently it is but it just fans the flames - especially when there are leaks that certain players are involved .
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Apparently it is but it just fans the flames - especially when there are leaks that certain players are involved . This doctor apparently mentions he 'treated' players from Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester and Birmingham City. Not corroborated at all.
The Doctor Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Looking at that front page - second bullet point seems to put it on Arsenal, Chelsea, us and Birmingham.

Footballwipe Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 The Manchester based "journalist" is the ForestEchoNews parody account that seems to catch everyone out. Ignore that entirely.
VLC86 Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Think I might have posted something a while ago when Ranieri joined. I read an article that suggested Chelsea's practises while he was there were deemed questionable. I can't remember specifics but think it was blood doping, however the fact that that is wasn't widely reported suggests it's probably bull or it wasn't actually illegal.
The Doctor Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 How can you read that? Open the image in a new tab and zoom in, blurry but it's possible to make out the odd word (city twice), the capital letters and some bits, then fill in the gaps.
goose2010 Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Think I'm more concerned by the pollution alert to be honest
m4DD0gg Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 I would have thought publicity as negative as this will not be good for morale.
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 The Manchester based "journalist" is the ForestEchoNews parody account that seems to catch everyone out. Ignore that entirely. It's a spoof it seems. The real report in the Sunday Times looks very flimsy and seems that this doctor has treated players who have played games for those four clubs (Arsenal, Chelsea us and Birmingham City) previously. No evidence of any systemic doping at any club.
st albans fox Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 The Manchester based "journalist" is the ForestEchoNews parody account that seems to catch everyone out. Ignore that entirely. Yep - my bad as the youngsters say!
bovril Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Open the image in a new tab and zoom in, blurry but it's possible to make out the odd word (city twice), the capital letters and some bits, then fill in the gaps. I can see Arsenal, Chelsea and Birmingham. Is the other Leicester? Looks like it begins with an 'S'. So.. er... Salisbury City?
Guest Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 they better have solid proof, disgusting to make allegations about this unless they show stone cold proof, its a very serious allegation. The 'doctor' in question is already having his reputation questioned online by quite a few journalists, could well turn out to be utter bollocks
StanSP Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 ironically I'm more inclined to believe we're not implicated after the reveal of this story despite us being mentioned. The doctor doesn't even seem respectable or genuine (track record of being a downright cvnt...search for the Daily Mail article about not telling a patient they had cancer). And it all seems to be historic. So I'm gonna hazard a guess that it doesn't involve any current players. Even though Chelsea are mentioned, it relates to 2001-2007 players at that club.
Vacamion Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 It deffo Leicester. Check out Footy Accumulators Twitter. They printed a pic where you can read our club's name under bullet point two.
goose2010 Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 The 'doctor' in question is already having his reputation questioned online by quite a few journalists, could well turn out to be utter bollocks Exactly this it would be breaking news on skysports, Sky news, bbc and all round the world already, but it's not it's just a load of Arsenal fans thinking our lads are smack off their tits for 90mins a week
bovril Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Oh crap. Come on don't tell me you thought it was going to be straightforward from here on in?! Grab another beer and embrace the chaos....
