I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money.
I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

Reports are saying Arturo Vidal was sent back to Germany after pulling an all-nighter at a casino or some poo poo and possibly showing up to training hungover/drunk

Premier League stars 'using black magic in bid to transform themselves into world beaters'
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-stars-using-black-6395630

quote:

[..]One Premier League player is believed to pay a grand a month to a witchdoctor in Ivory Coast - his wife says the Juju man "is more important than the manager of the club."

She added: “My husband has gone back to his village several times to be cleansed.

“The Juju man might ask him to bring a sacrifice — a spotless white goat, lamb or chicken — which would be slaughtered and then various oaths are made.

“There are many fake witch doctors driving around in Range Rovers and living in mansions. But the genuine Juju man lives in a hut with no water or electricity.

“I don’t think the English players know too much about all this, but some managers are definitely aware because the players excuse themselves at the drop of a hat when the Juju man comes calling"[..]

If you've not read Red Card Roy, well, that's pretty much the entire book right there. It's like The Robin Friday Story but in first-person.

quote:

Like football’s answer to Forrest Gump, McDonough seemed fated to cross paths with some of the most famous figures of his generation – and [Tommy] Smith was the first of many nutjobs. Having been at Birmingham with Mark Dennis (12 red cards), Pat Van Den Hauwe (“a scrapper”) and Kenny Burns (“a law unto himself”), ‘Big Roy’ went on to lock horns with Mick McCarthy (“a gobs**te”), Terry ‘Animal’ Hurlock (“the first one in if a row kicked off”), John Fashanu (“lanky plank”), Steve Walsh (“hard but fair”), Sam Allardyce (“the biggest head I’ve ever seen”), Tony Pulis (“a little f**king squirt”) and Vinnie Jones (“a bully”).

quote:

Uefa has denied claims that drug taking among top players is at a "significant level" and said results from a study it carried out needed clarification.

The Sunday Times reported that the study showed high testosterone levels were found in urine samples of 7.7% of 879 players who were tested.

The paper said this "indicated" a possible use of anabolic steroids.

"This study doesn't present evidence of potential doping," said European football's governing body.

Uefa said "the lack of standardisation" in the testing procedures and the "inability" to carry out testing on a B sample, as required by World Anti-Doping Agency's code, meant no "scientific evidence" could be produced.

It added that the introduction of a biological passport in football would be beneficial by offering further analysis in the case of atypical test results.

The samples came from players who played in the Champions League and Europa League and were tested between 2008 and 2013 by scientists from 12 anti-doping laboratories.

None of the 68 players who allegedly had "atypical" drug test results face sanctions as the samples were provided anonymously.

The Sunday Times reported that they and German broadcaster ARD/WDR passed the study to professor Julien Baker, who had been researching steroid use for 20 years.

Baker is quoted as saying: "If the findings are accurate then this sheds light on previously untold levels of suspected cheating in Europe's top competitions."

The Uefa statement added: "Uefa has now implemented a new steroid profiling programme which has come into operation at the start of the 2015-16 season.

"The programme will boost the already strong deterrent effect of Uefa's testing programme, as it will help better detect the effects of doping over time, thereby complementing existing direct anti-doping testing."

Glad thats been put to bed. I think certain posters round here owe an apology to all the footballers they've slandered.

I think I will take the opposite action and slander them further. The entire Spanish national team have been doped up to their eyeballs for every major triumph they've had recently and so have FC Barcelona. Furthermore, Rafael Nadal deserves to have all of his titles stripped and handed to Roger Federer, regardless of whether Federer was his opponent in those winning finals, or in fact played in the tournament at all.
