Rare instance of a pro footballer failing a drugs test at a top flight club in season, yet the article is almost ambivalent and way down the sports articles:

Old school doping here;

Argument for life bans right there.

They'll take some catching....

Horrible that a lot of these were children. Coaches have a lot to answer for.

As mad as that is is that verified? If its all just syringes it could be a place used for other types of drugs and are linking it to the above story?

I think Gordon Ryan may be missing a couple of key points he has an "interesting" view on doping in sport

Dirty fucking cheating or just a drive for greatness 🤔

My mum makes some baller jam from fruit she grows in her garden, but this black current jam is the most intense jam I've ever had in my life, has me gurning like I've double dropped, and along with a morning espresso is like injecting amphetimines....I guess.

Shit should straight up be illegal and on the WADA list.

jam phetamines

Ha!

Brilliant, it shall be known as that forevermore :)

Are there niche 🍄 in the jamphetamines?

ha no but there's an idea.....not sure I'd be able to manage any actual cycling after that tho.

@duptap what’s the scoop on the Caja Rural/pdf/diry doctor stuff and possibly some other team grassing on them? I'm too tired to work it out with google translate.

So who is it?

That website needs the urgent input of a UX designer.

It's an academic journal, it cares only about the content.

and yet, I wasn't assaulted with any popups or ads or other shit like 4mb jpgs.

All hail simple textual list websites!

I’d counter that this format is actually a pleasure to read.
