"Dispatches investigates the use of both recreational and performance-enhancing substances in our national game.
Reporter Antony Barnett examines football's drug-testing regime, raises questions about how the sport deals with its drug cheats and also looks at the use of some bizarre but legal treatments players undergo."
This could be interesting tonight (channel 4, 8pm). I wonder if they will name the high profile, multi- million pound player who failed a drugs test before being transferred.
Been meaning to post this all day, you'll be disappointed..

No doubt. Any guesses? Andy Carroll? He wouldn't exactly be a shock
Will Rio be making an appearance on this?
Joey Barton said on twitter a few weeks ago that he'd never seen any sign of it
Scottish fella used to play for Birmingham. To be honest and I'm possibly in a minority if it's gonna be a programme about wealthy young men dabbling in recreational drugs, so what??

Agree entirely. Will be forgotten about by the morning. Unless they're using performance enhancing drugs it shouldn't be a footballing matter.
One just started now on Sky Sports News about gambling in football for anyone who's interested.
Cannavaro was fairly relaxed there............
What a load of pish this is . . . very small numbers and no high profile people to make this resepectable. . . surely if they'd any decent investigation they'd have pulled up some decent dirt on Rio or Toure!!

Sure everyone know's Rio got a flat tyre that day and Kolo was on slimming pills ;)
I wonder who Player A was. England striker 2007?
The programme was fairly restricted in what it could disclose alright.
I don't remember Richard Sadlier playing for Ireland?
Another uncapped player who declared for Ireland in the last year was supposedly fond of the white stuff.
Who would that be mr boojangles
