foxychik Posted 14 April 2016 Share Posted 14 April 2016 Ok so there is the social media grumblings, there has been unfounded allegations but, and this is my opinion doping just isn't a thing in football because, if football teams want to cheat or gain unfair advantages, there are ways that carry less consequences if caught and more advantage if not. e.g. diving in the penalty box, taking out the opposition, time wasting, feigning injury, hand balls, even name calling to upset the opposition the list goes on and it happens - if caught it's a card or even in the very worst cases a few games ban there's far more to gain and far less to lose than taking a banned substance that could end a career and not necessarily gain an advantage. In individual sports that require pure power such as cycling or sprinting the risk could be seen as worth the reward, but in football it simply isn't.

The Doctor Posted 14 April 2016 Share Posted 14 April 2016 Assuming you're referring to the allegations against City, you've gone barking up the wrong tree. PEDs may help your physical fitness: strength, stamina and the like. They won't give you better technical skills, if you couldn't hit a barndoor with a banjo before, taking them won't make a jot of difference. Fitness hasn't been an issue with us for years (since Pearsons second reign got underway), it's not like this season is unusual in that respect.

NewEnglandFox Posted 14 April 2016 Share Posted 14 April 2016 This is one of those stupid things where people want to believe something is happening but they can't prove it and will irrationally or without proof believe or support accusations of the event occurring. It's really not a unique situation. Without failed drug tests the people making claims can't back it up. It's basically slander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbo Posted 14 April 2016 Share Posted 14 April 2016 The thing is, people are assuming we're doping because we've suddenly become successful. How do we know the big clubs haven't been doping for years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What hes saying is theres no need for footballers to take ped's because there are better ways to cheat in football that carry less risk. You're looking at why would they take them as a form of cheating vs risk. That's irrelevant, football is a technical sport - being fast doesn't make you any good (case in point: Elvis Hammond), nor does just having good stamina (again, Iain Hume and the other headless rabbits we've had in the last decade). PED's can't make Elvis not shank it wide every chance he gets, nor could they give Sol Bamba positional sense. They're fine for cycling, sprinting etc when speed and strength are all that matters, but they're not going to do you any good if your problem is technical ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
