    This topic is so hard as there are probably many substances that are both performance enchancing and used to help recovery or other reasons. Some footballers propably knowingly take banned substances, sometimes its mistakes, sometimes it can even be abnormalities in the human body. We know in the womens game, that some women actually fall above the testosterone level allowed by the anti-doping agency and have to literally take hormone blockers due to that. Doping, fairness and the human body are wild.

    In 2006, a huge opportunity was missed, when they busted Eufemiano Fuentes, the doctor who basically provided every cycling team in the world with performance enhancing drugs. After his arrest, cycling became a laughing stock among sports fans, but it went frustratingly unnoticed, that Fuentes had a hell lot of contacts with world class football teams (including FC Barcelona). Somehow no one looked any further into this, but with the ever increasing intensity of the game, it would be naive to think that there's no doping happening behind the scenes.

    Messi's contract literally had a stipulation in it that Barca would give him HGH. I wouldn't say it was unknown or low key. Doping happens in football, and there's lots of wild ways players do recovery with blood transfusions (aka the main problem with cycling.) The big problem is that the vast majority of doping in football happens when a players trying to recover from injury and by the time they can be tested for anything the substances are already well out of their system. Pogba getting busted for it isn't surprising considering his injury record.

    Speaking of interesting excuses or explanations, the 2022 Olympic figure skater from not-officially-RUS who was 15 years old and was caught doping said she had ingested the bad stuff when she drank from her grandpa’s glass that happened to have heart medication in it. Kamila Valieva. The IOC still hasn’t figured out if they should give medals to the rightful winners of the team competition or not.

It's impossible to ingest so much of that stuff in one single time that it can be found in a test. This would be way too little. It's sad how often the IOC or CAS fall for that bullshit.

    @@swordsman1137 I highly doubt the grandpa’s heart meds accidentally got into the skater. It’s more like all of the skaters have been receiving “supplements” that their trainers tell them they have to take, and the athletes don’t know what it is. Exactly how they did it in the eastern bloc countries in the Cold War. The Russian female figure skaters had been so dominant, because they keep them so underweight and prepubescent for as long as possible, which keeps them lighter and it’s easier to do quad jumps, which are virtually impossible for full grown women. This is terrible for the long-term health of these girls, obviously. If the skater in question had been 16, she would’ve been treated as an adult, so immediately suspended from competition and sent home but her being 15 somehow gave the IOC an excuse to not act. For days afterwards, nobody knew whether she’d be allowed to compete in the women’s competition or not. She had competed in the team competition. Russia had won the gold medal, but they couldn’t award that because of the positive doping test. I just checked before I wrote my comments that the medals have still not been awarded 18 months later. So, technically, everybody should move up a spot meaning the fourth-place finisher Canada should receive a bronze medal, Japan should receive silver, and USA should receive gold. There is a lot of bizarreness about the Russian female figure skating situation, and I’m not blaming the girls! Rhythmic gymnastics is also bizarre. It’s a sport that has been entirely controlled by Russia since 2000. The head of Russian rhythmic gymnastics, Irina Viner, is married to the CEO of Gazprom. In 2021 summer Olympics, The Russians failed for the first time to not win the gold in individual or team competition, which prompted them to say the competition was rigged. Viner said that she knows for sure that a competition is clean when a Russian wins it. The RUS president rewarded all Olympic gold medal winners with prizes, including a car and cash, I think. The girl who placed second, Dina Averina, was given the gold medal level prize, and her twin sister Arina, who had placed fourth, was given the bronze medal level prize. Both girls wanted to retire, which is normal for rhythmic gymnasts at age 20, but Viner won’t let them although they’re both dealing with pretty heavy injuries. Yeah, so what I mean is there is a lot of corruption, and the athletes are, in my opinion, not to blame at all. I doubt their trainers and doctors ever tell them what those “supplements“ and sometimes even prescription meds actually are. If they complained, something could happen to them or their family. As for Paul Pogba … ? Tennis star Simona Halep got banned for four years recently for testing positive. I suspect there’s a lot more doping going on than anybody really wants to know about.

    My grandma was a professional swimmer and ones medals even in national competitions. She got dopped by her trainer since she was a teenager. She doesn't even know about it because the trainer and the doc said it would be vitamins. It was only when she took her state examination in medicine with a specialization in radiology that she found out about doping agents and noticed that all the symptoms she had had since puberty were common side effects of doping drugs. Afterwards she ended her career and put all her medals deep into a drawer. At 29, her muscles became ill and she had to use a wheelchair ever since. The topic needs to be addressed and we need to take it seriously. Thanks for your video about it.

    Great video as usual, broski. Really like the subject matter. I'd like it if you could look into the proposed increase of games per season with the addition and lengthening of competitions and whether or not it correlates with an increase in injuries? Im somewhat sympathetic to drug use in the modern game. Asking professionals to play more games than ever at the highest end while insisting that they don't evolve or diversify the ways in which they meet that demand is unfair. With the increase in analysis and pseudo-commentators paired with a reactionary news cycle, the level of scrutiny on any given individual performance, is as high as I've ever seen it. We've just tried to sandwich a World Cup in the middle of the season, while keeping domestic leagues, cup and continental competitions, international friendlies as well the illustrious Nations League, that not a single human being ever asked for. Of course there'll be substances to ensure players can keep up with demand. Look at how rampant cocaine is in high pressure industries such as banking or elite restaurants. Footballers are still humans. If you tell me that this is because of how big football is now, then make it smaller again. Compensation and pay isn't everything. Increasing workload with no consideration for sustainability, player health and performance is a quasi-gladitorial perspective.

I saw him make that exact same mistake so many times, and it is so infuriating from a player who had all the physical and technical attributes to be the best midfielder in the world.

    As opposed to all players being forced to roid themselves up in order to be able to keep up with the ones who do? Even without using any banned substances all too many players are using all sorts of non-banned stuff, while training hard and playing way too many games, some having to have injections before each game to handle whatever injury their team can't afford to let them operate until after the season. Professional athletes are already pushing themselves to the limit, if we remove the limits we'll end up with players dying for our entertainment.

    Interesting video. With the growing emphasis on individual players rather than clubs, this problem is only to get worse. FIFA/EUFA/leagues will do anything to ensure their cash cows get away with it and players will become more brazen, like in Ronaldo’s case.

    Great video. 4 years is insane for a doping charge. Feel like they need a scapegoat every now and then. I never think about it, but I'm gonna look up to see what exactly is on the banned list. There might be things I take casually over the counter like preworkout or other supplements.

    With how things have been since covid, pushed the season to go on for longer, then the WC in december, new rules for how added time is done in the PL. Maybe PL teams will struggle more in the CL. Already a more physical league. On top of that, in 2024 UEFA is banning Tramodol from use in its competitions. As I understand it, Tramodol has been widely used for recovery during a hectic season with three games every week. This (and the world situation at large) makes me think about Cantona’s speech at the UEFA Ceremony where he quoted Shakespear "As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods. They kill us for their sport"

    A bit late but there was a time when "Messi" have to do the doping test almost every 2 games , so pretty much when he scored a Hat Trick or two bangers lol. And in all of them his results were "negative" , and to top it off , it was kind on pupose to always have Messi been tested , since its usually two players from each them that gets tested randomly, but Messi was always "hand picked". Messi and CR7 were the main two players that have to always test because "never before" have they seeing two players pushing beyond its limits and having this insane consistency. If anything , Messi and CR7 should be an example on been CLEAN

    Great video, just to add a few things; doping is almost certainly way more prevalent than we know, the existence of designer compounds that are not easily detectable by current WADA testing protocols is an actual thing. Regarding Onana, yes the drug he was banned for has no direct performance enhancing benefits. So why is it on the banned list? Well, that's because that drug is commonly used to mask the presence of other PEDs. So basically, he was banned because he was caught possibly trying to cover up a drug use, the issue is we don't know exactly what the original drug was (if there was one).

    Question one always has to ask is "Who benefits the most?" And given that drugs can't help you that much in team sports and that drugs will hardly make Pogba less prone to injuries, all on top of his big salary and Juventus' financial state, Juventus stands to gain the most as they can simply terminate his contract (oh, and they tried to sell him hard this summer, too). So I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they have something to do with it as they have been caught not playing fair multiple times.

    Souness isn't anti-pogba. He knows he should be a world class midfielder and I think his 'hate' he because he cannot perform consistently for Utd, and he finds it frustrating for him knowing he should/could be one of the best midfielders ever. Yet seemed to managed to do it for Juve before the move and France when even playing for Utd. How my opinion on Pogba is. He should be an absolute world beater but he has an attitude problem that hasn't gone away.

    Why can we "say for certain" he didn't mean it. Hes been injured a lot of lately, he needed something to give him something to get him going again and instead of going to the club he went to a friend and got something dodgy, the American doctor gave him somerhing that was possibly not on the USADA list. Maybe it is completely accidental either way he is the only one to blame.

    If they really want to crack down on doping they have to change their methods by a lot. At the very least weekly tests for every player and then some samples troughout the week. They would have to open those facilities directly where the teams do their training. Yes it would cost a ton of money, it would also create more work places. I personally would make this mandatory for ever 1st division team around europe. There you have it, a job well done :)
