Pep should be banned forever and City should be fined 10 points for each of the last 5 seasons
Except 13/14, they can keep their points for that season.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Didn’t Wenger speak out about it a few years back? He didn’t point any fingers at specific clubs but I’m sure I remember him claiming it was going on. Then a couple of seasons ago - during the season Leicester won the Premier League - an article appeared in one of the more reputable newspapers about a doctor who said he’d been involved in blood doping of footballers. 3 clubs were named - Leicester, Chelsea, and, ahem, Arsenal. All 3 clubs put out very similar worded statements denying any wrongdoing (you’d be forgiven for thinking the same person had written all 3 statements), the article soon became tomorrow’s chip paper, Leicester won the league, and I don’t think Wenger has ever spoken about doping since!
Ha was my thought also in that game he was like a raging pit bull never seen him play like that before.
They have, but they glued the hair Pep & Silva lost onto their heads. Wake up, sheeples!
In case anyone is really wondering about the reason David Silva had a hair transplant and therfore had his head shaved.Not very diplomatic
Why only him and Pep why haven't the rest gone bald too?
So he had a bald hair transplant?!?
Haha. Maybe if we remove all the result City had it will still go well? Could Chelsea get it instead?
Well, most of the people in this forum have been saying that City is dope this season...
Why did Pep use deca anyways? seems pretty useless. Heavily overestimating the effectiveness.
EPO/blood doping would make more sense

I think that might be the more silly things. Clubs not doing well probably do the same. Not like they didn't do it last season and suddenly started this season.
The only one
A few seconds of googling turn up doping-related irregularities with all sorts of top clubs, yes, even those Pep never managed.

You were talking about the Prem. We all know Juve were doped to the gills in the 90s and the general controversy around Spainish sport. As for your German doctor with the dodgy barnet, didn't he work with your boy Pep too?
Do you have a link to the article?
IIRC Wenger talked about players that Arsenal bought from abroad with blood passports suggesting that they had been doped.
Pep ousted him, in fact. Must have gotten the prescriptions wrong.
And I wasn't talking of the PL exclusively or specifically, I just cited its extreme amount of fixtures as a factor for the "need" for doping.
The evidence is irrefutable - this is Pep last week:
All that aside, there is no manager in top level football who has anywhere near as much smoke round him as Pep, that can't be denied.
Doping... meh just something else pep is better than Jose at
All hail pep
All hail pep
The evidence is irrefutable - this is Pep last week:
I'd be full of PED too, if I were that good looking.
Yes, because it is painfully transparent that there's no serious discussion to be had. Majority here actually don't give a shit about doping and how it affects the sport in general, just angry, butthurt fans looking for any way to explain away how City are doing so well so far this season.
Lowkey pathetic. Reminding me of the psychotic Federer fans who would scream "doping" at Nadal when the latter was still owning Federer consistently.
Exactly.
...and this is Pep the week before:
Conte?
There's no question that Pep doped at one point, that Barce employed a doping doctor, an that la liga covered up doping of their players. Easy to draw one conclusion from that, and I'd say a good chance that its true.
That said, nothing says he is doping at Bayern or City. It is easy to get away with it in all sports if the money is right, but nothing says he is specifically doing it bar the fact he obviously isn't morally opposed to it

Mentions Birmingham City too. It was in the Sunday Times originally but can’t find a link to that.
Cheers.
AS opposed to the legal doping?
Your reply has missed the point completely. I’m not too fussed about city, nor butt hurt about their deserved lead & form.
It was a simple response to a single poster who’s seemingly unable to seperate any pep discussion from mourinho.
So this is how it feels to be Liverpool fans, we are almost there . Take a bit of news without proper investigation and come to the conclusion that pep cheated.
Pep might just be a very good manager you know, instead of analysing why 'midgets' like sterling are running so much.

I read that there is a limit to which players can be 'doped'.
Spot on. This is how far we've fallen that some posters are getting giddy talking about it. Excuses after excuses for us. First it's we can't play without Pogba, Pogba was there when we lost to Bristol City. Now it's city are doping. Maybe they have enough energy because they have 70%+ of the ball every game?
It's just sad that this is what we've been reduced to as a fan base. City fans must be laughing their heads off.
Liverpool fans had accused us anything but doping, or doing anything illegal. I don't see the parallel.So this is how it feels to be Liverpool fans, we are almost there . Take a bit of news without proper investigation and come to the conclusion that pep cheated.

Been shouting about this for years. I'm fairly sure he's a cheat. You just can win consistently run and be healthy.
Without doubt.
Every wonder why Operation Puerto didn't go anywhere? Football was involved.
We had fa in our pockets and old red nose cheated his way to titles. They kept hoping that something would come up which will tie united to bribing refs, fa.
Uh oh. We've finally done it and gone full RAWK.
It would be naive to think Pep is clean given his history and the red flags.
Didn't De Bruyne have an injury that was prognosed to be out for 2-3 months last year and all of a sudden sees a friend of Pep in Barcelona and he's back in 2 weeks.

“Without being caught by tests”. If other evidence came forward that they had been doping just under the testing levels it’s still a ban.
What I find most telling is how bad his relationship was with Bayern medical staff. Maybe they weren't willing to comply with his miracle making?
For sone substances, but then there are others that are illegal no matter. It’s quite bad if they have their players on enhancements either way. What are the long term effects?
So De Gea and Mata are doping too?
