Larry_LCFC Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Government minister commenting on it now...fook me.. Can we see his expense claims? Sure he's squeaky clean. ****.
Jimothy Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Government minister commenting on it now...fook me.. Who, and where? I wish people would post such vague comments. I'm probably not watching or reading the same as you, so have no idea what you're on about.
Guest ttfn Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 why would a Championship side 100 miles away with barely a pot to piss in employ a Harley Street doctor to help them dope and then at the end of that season risk exposing the scam by replacing the manager and over the next six months half the playing squad?
FantasticMrFuchs Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Is it the crook or the liar? Neither, the nonce
Guest ttfn Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 The big question coming out of this is: If we were doping why were we so shit?
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 This is the doctor in question as well: http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/survival-of-the-richest-how-londons-superrich-are-trying-to-buy-immortality-a3118071.html The ST has somewhat deteriorated in standards in recent years. I think this story is flimsy. No doubt some sportspeople will have visited him over the years... The paper seeming to be conflating or blurring the lines that with endemic doping is piss poor
johnny the fox Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Who, and where? I wish people would post such vague comments. I'm probably not watching or reading the same as you, so have no idea what you're on about. danny kelly ..talk sport.. quote.
Corky Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 why would a Championship side 100 miles away with barely a pot to piss in employ a Harley Street doctor to help them dope and then at the end of that season risk exposing the scam by replacing the manager and over the next six months half the playing squad? And why only a certain few players and not the whole squad?
bovril Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 So frustrating when there are two threads on the same subject.
bovril Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Just to ask again, where is the '6 years ago' figure coming from? Is it in the article, I can hardly read anything.
Guest ttfn Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 And why only a certain few players and not the whole squad? This is great, we can rep on mobile now. You will be getting more rep points.
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 danny kelly ..talk sport.. quote. Total BS then
foxes_rule1978 Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 So frustrating when there are two threads on the same subject. I agree, difficult to keep up
filbertstreet Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Obviously Conrad Logan doping on hemorrhoid cream to stop his arse stinging on the bench
VLC86 Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 I agree, difficult to keep up You need performance enhancing drugs tor that pal.

Steven Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 http://news.sky.com/story/1671735/probe-after-claim-footballers-got-banned-drugs 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 Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Google+ Share by email 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."
The Doctor Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 So when people are saying six years ago they mean that the 150 have happened at some point since 2010, not actually all back then.
Fox92 Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 I've just seen a screenshot of one of the bullet points which reads "The Sunday Times has no indecent evidence" ... Wtf.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 If no evidence then surely printing this can't be right ?
CosbehFox Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 Have a look at his Twitter, the doctor that is @zengrifter
bovril Posted 2 April 2016 Posted 2 April 2016 I bet Top's really learning to love these late night phone calls.
