Well this guy is a confirmed juicer so really anyone could be

Someone show me facts.

>>77112706
There's doping in every single professional sports league. Probably even ping pong

When you have an insanely competitive barrier to entry, where even the vast majority of the top 1% aren't going to be good enough to make it, you're going to have people doing whatever they can to gain a bit of a competitive edge. Like, the difference for a lot of people is the potential to make millions and be set for life, or wasting away your prime and having to work a dead end job until you die.

Some are just better at timing their cycles and avoiding getting caught than others.

>In 2015 alone, there were 149 cases of doping worldwide

Also, for people saying "soccer players dont need to dope, you dont need to be strong to be good", you're entirely missing the point of why they would take steroids or other PEDs. Its not to get jacked, its so they can recover quicker and not have their performance drop down over the course of a busy schedule

Some reason cyclists dope. Endurance and recovery

Opinions are worse than anecdotes. You didn't prove anything, the tests they have today are rigid, blood, urine, etc.

There's barely no cases in the modern Era of soccer because it's extremely thorough now, how many players have tested positive, I can only think of one.

>>77112706
there is almost no testing in soccer other than the occasional piss test which detects fuck all, so yes they are all on EPO around the clock and cycling sterons and hgh during the offseason

>only piss
Yea you are fried in the head buddy. Where's Holland this year?

t. Drug tester

There are very few tests and only recently have they become unannounced where before coaches knew to keep the dirty players away when a tester came. There are always new undetectable drugs or the current tests can't catch it in the doses being used.

Lance Armstrong never officially failed a drug test until the USDA went after him

That second post you quoted was an article about soccer.

All professional athletes use some sort of doping.
