Spanish doping scandal in the air

France's newspaper Le Monde has published a story stating that players of RM, Barça, Valencia and Betis have had contact with Dr. Fuentes of the infamous cycling scandal that erupted this year. All clubs except for Madrid have denied the allegations, although Betis have said they could not entirely vouch for the movements and contacts of individual players that may or may not have gone on their own account.

this story is likely to have a tail. Le Monde is hardly News of the World.

Yeah just read this, and we've issued an official statement of denial or something...not really sure what it all means and what, if anything, will actually happen.

Oh dear, remind me what the 'dopes' were - were they enhancing drugs?

something similar was posted by a french newspaper this summer but it was since denied the some lab.

cool
Armstrong, Cannavaro and Zidane next ones ?

THIS means that UEFA and FIFA should now award the European and World Cups to GERMANY

me thinks

and ban Spain from international football for the next 100 years

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Tendentious, implausible, attention-seeking story.

Of course Spain didn't win the World Cup because they have players like Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol and Villa, it's because they must have been doping. To run so hard for so long, which is what their game relies on above all

Why is the German media so obsessed, in every sporting field, with stirring about drugs? It upsets me.

Because they think they're the only ones who should be allowed to use doping, putting all that DDR knowledge to good use

Ottoleinchen's idea to declare Holland World and European champions isn't that bad though
