Oh dear.

Sunday Times reporting that a doctor has spiked 150 top athletes, including Leicester, Arsenal and Chelsea players (No mention of MCFC so far fortunately)

Then the S*n has revealed this.

No more fairy tale ending if this proves to be true

 
While I say it is unlikely but they have not stopped running al, season and not had a bad patch, but then again I may be clutching at straws
 
I genuinely hope this is all bollocks but I heard that journalists have been sitting on this story for a while, when I was told the rumour the suggestion was that they were waiting until the season was over to blow the lid
 
UKAD is certainly taking this seriously

Story in the Fail appears to dispute the claims. Just hope the claims are false.

I have wondered at times where some of the tennis players get their energy, esp the ones that are really struggling in the third set and then come out and win the fourth 6-0 or 6-1 and do so regularly.
However I hope I am wrong.
 
It is a constant battle and one where those who are working against the authorities always have the lead - very difficult to get ahead of this. Hope it isn't true but then Lance Armstrong managed to fool the authorities for ages (never forgive him for that - my mother held him in high regard and even named her budgies after him. She would be spinning in her grave but let's not dwell on that).

No telling what might crawl out from under the rocks once you start lifting them.... :034:
 
If there is any truth in this, it wouldn't really surprise me. It's sad that drug cheating at elite level appears in most sports because the stakes are so high.

 
This is intriguing. It certainly lends weight to my theory that either City or Leicester were on drugs when they beat us 3-1.

I see btw that they have had about 5 injuries all season.....
 
There is definitely a part of me that wants this to be false, so that we know all the results from the league are only based on skill and talent (and a few close refereeing decisions, but those are human nature), but there is another part of me that has been astonished at how lucky they've been injury wise all year. Like, remarkably lucky that they haven't had a major injury while everyone else seems to have had quite a few.

So, I suppose I'll hold judgment until the facts come out, whenever that may be.
