Drugs in UK sports....

[mrdeeds]

Leicester very suspicious. Very few injuries and players recovered from injuries in a week which normally would take three plus weeks. Also performing high in sprints in last few minutes of games.

This is starting to kick off. A doctor by the name of Mark Bonar (no, really) claims he doped 150 athletes including British Tour de France cyclists, an England cricketer and a British boxing world champion.

[Minder]

Not one of them are named

[mrdeeds]

Arsenal Leicester and Chelsea named.

[StephenC]

Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester, and Birmingham players among his clients apparently.

Yeah it's all his word though, Sunday Times have said they have no independent evidence that he treated any of them.

[laoislad]

Arsenal Leicester and Chelsea named.

He gave the Arsenal players laxatives instead of performance drugs, that's why they shite themselves at this time every season.

[Capt Pat]

He is Irish isn't he although there are no Irish players at those clubs.

Really surprised at the apathy towards Sakho's positive test at the weekend.

Double standards in this are appalling. If an athlete was caught they'd rightly get condemned all over the show for it but a footballer  is caught doping and it's barely discussed!! Any wonder the Premier League is a corrupt cesspit when this kind of thing is basically ignored!!

I think it's the nature of it. A fat burning drug. But it is cheating, and he is an idiot, and he's going to get a ban, rightly so.

Spin me baby right round baby right round. They tend to be masking agents.

I thought Leicester would have been caught by now, Liverpool wouldn't have been on my radar due to their high level of injuries. Klopp and his style have changed that.

If anything, I'd have expected Sahko to be caught for Cocaine!
