He was cleared a few years later on the fact the body produces Nandralone naturally. Still doesn't explain how his levels were both different in the two failed tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It's been noted by lots of fans this season going on this odd report from early March http://talkingbaws.com/2016/03/some-arsenal-fans-have-a-conspiracy-theory-about-leicesters-incredible-run/ I like the fairy tale that is Lecicester this season, but IF their top players are doping, well that's absolutely seismic for the premier league and it's tv billions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I've been a bit slow on this, but interesting to see on Twitter concerns about Vardy's arm bandage he's had on all season - could it really be so obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would give Roy a bit of a headache ahead of the Euro's if Vardy was implicated in these allegations, actually standard England pre-tournament!

It needs to blow up I have no doubt we've played quite a few teams who have been at it. Both top 20s are from mid season, and Hutton is in there at 12th - so I think it's fair to say there are probably exceptions - but taking that into account, there is something mighty fishy going on and I don't think its the crisps they've been eating. Zaha, Bolasie, Walker, Walcott - you'd imagine they were all faster than a 29 year old unknown for his pace for his entire career prior to this season. Oddly enough gabby not in the top 20 this season - can't figure it out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) I wouldn't be surprised at all if Leicester were implicated in this.

Man City probably already are apart of this conspiracy but Guardiola is, in particular, an expert on this subject.

HanoiVillan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 This may well be a whole lot of nothing, it should be said. The Italian centre Leicester went to has a pretty shady past, but this doctor may well be a fantasist. The Sunday Times have apparently sat on the story since October, have been unable to corroborate it, and then launched it this weekend anyway, with caveats: So it's just the word of this one doctor, talking to a person he was trying to sell doping to. (Obviously even if he is lying, that doesn't mean doping isn't happening in football.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) The doctor is just a side story really. Him and his outfit sound like small fry's and not part of a specific programme what the Leicester players are obviously on. Not that it's only Leicester who are at it, they've just got into bed with the Italian outfit who have some particularly good/bad previous at the 'doping' game. It was already being mentioned before this clown of a doctor came along. Those are into cycling (I'm not actually one) will be able to tell more....

villa89 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) You only need to look at the number of failed tests in football to show you that testing is a joke in the game. If it was done right players would be testing positive bceause of the sheer volume of players in football. However FIFA, like Golf and Tennis have adopted the 'if we don't look then we won't find' approach. They know that postive doping tests are bad for business, see cycling. You are much better off ignoring the issue and pretending that your sport is clean. All the samples taken at world cups get destroyed to make sure there won't be any proof if there are whistleblowers in the future. Doping is rife in football, Italian/Spanish/Russian clubs and national teams all up to their necks in dope. Plenty of others too.

It needs to blow up I have no doubt we've played quite a few teams who have been at it. says nothing in my opinion, the "fastest" title in those articles is decided by the top speed reached by a player in a game. 35khm/h is about 20 mp/h, on modern surfaces that is not near the top speed that the fastest players would be able to reach if they were flat out (Bolt hits nearly 28mp/h on a track). Players rarely sprint flat out, and if they do it's never for long enough to reach a top speed you'd be able to accurately use as a yardstick to compare players. Those figures more likely a symptom of the way Leicester play. Blistering counter attacks with long balls into the channel that Vardy and Albrighton have a lot of grass in front of them to chase. Then you might have anomalies like Morgan or as someone mentioned earlier, Hutton, which could be one instance of them busting a gut back towards to goal to rectify an defensive mistake. Additionally, i doubt any PED's they'd likely take would affect that stat. it's pretty clear Vardy isn't on the sort of testosterone sprinters might use to add power, as he's still as skinny as he ever was, ditto Marc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
