Doping in Premier League

[chippy1722]

Highly doubt it happens, any advantage you would gain is so minimal, if any at all that it wouldn’t be worth risking the money you would lose.

absolutely

if it happens in the likes of cycling and athletics were the prize money for winning the diamond league is less than michael keane’s weekly wages then its going to happen in a multi billion dollar industry

100 Percent this

Do you believe doping exists in current game? Personally I believe RS and City have been doping, or have found some other performance enhancing material to improve their intensity in games. I find it strange that RS and City seem to have exactly same pattern of form, where they are world beaters 1 season, challenging for 4 trophies, then next season look useless, despite having exactly the same players and manager. RS, went from challenging for four trophies in 2021/2022, to finishing 5th and getting nearly 30 points less, than previous season, with exactly the same players.

Absolutely. The big dirty secret no one wants to talk about.

Teams posting 95 plus points two seasons in a row and then dropping 30 points the next season and blaming it on a CB being injured.

All players collectively improving form to be the worlds best, then all losing it at the same time, and then all gaining it back again.

Teams not rotating and running more than ever, playing away from home after Europe and absolutely battering very good PL teams who have days extra rest than them.

Annihilating teams in Europe like they’re lower league teams.

These same players barely featuring at other clubs.

It’s absolutely rife.

Of course it happens. Guardiola himself was busted for nandrolone. The clubs know that the authorities don't really care so they generally have the freedom to do whatever they want.

in sports in the 60's, banned at Olympics in 1974.

As for the benefits, they're clear. Players today run about 50% more than they did a generation ago, and there's been a doubling of high intensity sprints in the past 20 years. Alongside that, players don't seem to need rotating anywhere near as much, with the very best players playing pretty much every match.

City won the league 3 seasons in a row though.

Mate, I use an inhaler for exerise, as I suffer from exercise induced asthma.

Mate, they aren't inhaling pauper gases, they're inhaling biomechanical nanobots that restructure their cells to enhance their performance

There is cheating in every sport from individual to club to officiating level. There is cheating in the transfer windows there is cheating in finances and anything to do with silly amounts of money. Yes. People dope. In every sport in some way

Testing in football is rubbish compared to what they do in cycling.

The majority of elite athletes will be on some form of PED's.

They did. But they've also had huge drops in form, 19/20 and this season, although to be fair aging players has played a large part in their form reducing. RS are more suspicious, how players like Milner and Henderson, were able to play week in week out, in 4 competitions.
