My friend's mother who was a pro swimmer in the 80s grew a mustache from all the shit she was given in commie Romania

Didn’t want to start a thread for it but curious for the older generation - thoughts?



@Evilo

I'm a few years younger than Gary Neville, but now i see why i never made it as a professional footballer. The real kicker is, i still have to shave my back.

Dr. Agricola sounds like a mix of agricole rum and Dr. Pepper and now I'm thirsty

Well known in football.
Cantona told about it when he was active. Players that played for Juve said all team in Italy in the 90s were loaded and taking booster shots every week.
Weirdly enough, almost nobody got caught.

Carragher and Neville - mostly Neville - say a lot of stupid shit but man I could listen to them talk about shit for hours

10x if Roy is involved

Doped players talking about other doped players. Love to see it

I know baseball and the home run hitters got the bulk of the steroids/dopping allegations, so for awhile, people just assumed it was the people that needed strength and bulk, but the reality is, doping was likely widespread across all sports and positions within the sport.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Tebas should shut the f*** up.

Pep Guardiola got caught though

Since people aren't discussing transfers here anymore, I'll share this:

Blue cards to be introduced for football sin-bins

Exclusive: The new card will see players removed from the field for 10 minutes if they commit a cynical foul or show dissent

Personally not a fan. If referees would actually have the balls to use their yellow cards correctly this wouldn't be needed. And blue cards just sound weird.

They should stick the players in little cages in the technical area for this and allow fans to throw tomatoes at them. Only way I’m in favor of this.

You mean beer? Oh wait, they can't even drink beer at football games in the UK can they

Only the ones they're talking about have actually been caught for wide scale doping but you do you.

You really that naive?

Can't get caught if you skip the tests a'la Rio Ferdinand.

Fascinating people believe that they are clean and playing every 2 days full intensity games just with spaghetti.

It's a multi million business, of course they will do anything possible to get that 0.1% extra chance to win and earn a lot more $$$. This applies to almost all other elite sports, too. From our ice hockey, to tennis, basketball, American football, cycling, track and field, you name it

 

[Incubajerks]

It's a shame they don't mention names, perhaps the defeat at the European Championship still stings, and a lot. Like all the beatings they took in those years.

 

[Jussi]

You really that naive?

Well if you have proof, lay them out!

 

[luiginb]

Tebas should shut the f*** up.

The French doing a fine job making sure Mbappe leaves anyway

 

[Evilo]

Tebas should shut the f*** up.

Every time he speaks Mbappe has less of a chance of joining

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Every time he speaks Mbappe has less of a chance of joining

Hence why I want him to shut up

 

[les Habs]

Not sure what the difference is between this coming Summer and last Summer as regards Mbappe. Maybe there’s an agreement between PSG and Mbappe this time? I’m guessing not and it’ll be more drama this Summer. The most interesting part of the story of Mbappe comes might be who leaves Madrid.

 

[Evilo]

There is an agreement and I don't expect drama.

fwiw this is a good thing

He let his bonuses go, right?
