Doping in Premier League

[arch stanton]

I’d happily sell my pee for a few quid

how much for the pair?

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

All it does is open your lungs up a bit, so you can breathe in more and get more oxygen into your body.

It doesn`t give increased stamina or anything like that.

Plus, with it being a steroid, you can`t be puffing on it all day, as it wouldn`t serve any purpose, as once you`re lungs are open, they`re not going to open any more and also misuse could cause terrible long term damage to your lungs.

I wouldn`t really call it doping as such, which I`m guessing why it`s not banned.

It`s not like taking stimulants or other stuff that enhances stamina and recovery.

I think the issue is that, how is it that such a large number of RS players are Ashmatics.

Just keep your PED one step ahead of the detection regime. Science develops new chemicals all the time - especially where there's money.

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.

The proof will be in years to come, when some of them start dropping dead from heart conditions in their forties.

Are they though?

All football clubs will be doing the same tests and the truth is that a high percentage of players in the premier league will have tested positive for exercise induced asthma.

This is true. A lot of money to be made from PED's and the likes of FIFA spend next to nothing on testing.

They have tried to look good for the recent World Cup by upping there game.

I don’t understand why faster, stronger players with greater endurance and recovery would be an advantage ? It’s all about skills and tactics

 

[Bedfordblue]

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.

Highly unlikely LFC are, there’s so many of them with asthma it might be bad for their health due to contra indications

Probably. I’d imagine there are drugs/supplements that are so far advanced that they are yet to be picked up by the tests. Only available within the pro sports/athlete circles.
There was that Spanish Dr who was a world leader in sports science. They reckon he was giving stuff to all the top athletes, tennis in particular. When it finally came out, his clinic containing all the files of who he was supplying magically burned down to a crisp.

Same with medicines. Drugs out there that are more than likely only available to the rich, powerful and famous. Not to us plebs for general consumption. That drugs they give now on the NHS to help lose weight. That had been around for years but only in the right circles.

I remember that story, Nadal was especially linked to that story which would add up as he always raised suspicions in my mind with how he played his tennis

 

[Verbal Kint]

Until the day I die I'm absolutely certain the Red's team with all inhalers use exemption were definitely on the gear That team didn't stop running all season.

Truth will come out sometime

This is a load of tin foil hat nonsense. Why would a drug company that has spent potentially 100s of million of pounds developing a drug purposefully withhold it from the market? The problem with conspiracy theories is that there isn’t any evidence that can be produced to disprove it.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

Definitely financial doping.

The Spanish national team who won the world's and euros were mentioned in this story too. Not to forget the Juventus EPO allegations from the 90s. I think it's a fair likelihood that performance enhancing drugs are being used in football as humans by nature are always trying to get an 'edge' in performance and with sports science being a massive part of football now I think it's obvious not everything is 'above board'
