Disclaimer - This has "Goldfish's previous owner great uncle told me" wrItten all over it -
Talking to a mate's mate on Sunday who said he lives near a sports editor of a well known broadsheet.
They were talking recently and he was told that there were serious whispers that a recent premiership winning team had key players on performance enhancing drugs, combo of injury recovery and better stamina.
He told me the team name, but not sure re libel etc if I can put them up? Northern might know?
The editor gave the impression it was being looked at by a number of newspapers and rumours were swirling but nobody ready to publish yet.
My instinct was sounded unlikely, but curious if anyone heard the same thing?

At least we know it isn't us if it uses the phrase 'performance enhancing' :) |  |

They do a nice bit of cheese....
It was said at the time and in that hideous gravy train anything is possible.
You have to ask why Bungle didn't take that appraoch when we were up there....he did? Oops! Gave our lot Rhohipnyal and Chill Out Cheese by mistake..DOH!!!
As for football and drugs per se.... had some of my best times back in the day. Many a Bradley Allen goal squeezed out the last Friday night rush.

If we tried anything like this, we'd end up with the downers as opposed to the uppers. Instead of a bunch of athletes, we'd end up with all of them falling asleep on the pitch! |  |

The new documentary Icarus on Netflix is well worth checking out. Given the money in football you would be surprised if they weren't doing it.
There was a European nation that got very good at football about 15 years ago and saw some big improvements in other sports like tennis as well after decades of underperformance.
There is a 35 year old athlete who can sprint away from 24 year olds who could hardly win a race for the first half of his career
There was a cyclist called Lance who passed 600 drug tests and only got caught as he was so obnoxious his mates ratted him out.
There is a bloke in a South African prison who shot his bird in a fit of rage (roid rage?)
Sport is full of it. |  | | |
