Doping

This. The ugly truth is in most sports doping is ignored to not upset the apple cart. Cycling has been the favoured bete noir but the reality is they're all at it.

When German Telekom pulled the plug on cycling after their team went under the "doping bus".. the President of FC Bayern Uli Hoeneß expressed statisfaction and added that they will try to get the budget Telekom by demanding more for the space on the jerseys..

The fact that names outside of cycling were covered up in the Fuentes affair speaks volumes. Cycling cops it but a football doping scandal, tennis, even cricket?

The fact is that soccer does not get tested. Their orgs claim that since there is no advantage--- and, of course, there is and doping is quite widespread (and some of the drugs that have been used are incredibly nasty such as Pervitin which was probably used by the German national football team to win the 1954 World Cup)-- there is no need, whence nobody does it.. I must admit, having spoken with a number of sports journalists with intimate contacts that doping is probably the least "problem" in football.. and game that is about as much sport as American professional wrestling.. in football corruption, bribes and game manipulation appears to be more rule than exception.. Its big money, mafia and politics... Bernard Tapie was a fall guy for how the ball rolls... And in Italy where some of the top teams got caught? Juventus, AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio, Reggina,.... All within a year back to business...
