First of all, I agree with the general statement of this blog entry. Sports World, in terms of doping, is not measuring cycling the same way as Football, Tennis, Basketball or other sports. And there are more examples for Doping Practices in Football than the tiny ones supposedly related to Barcelona. Talk about the Great Squad of Fiorentina of the 70ies and the players of the same team who suffered cancers and other illnesses. To put a name on the list: Bruno Beatrice. You will find a lot of links related to that case.

Now to the details: I think the comparison between Müller-Wohlfahrt and Eufemiano is a bit unfortunate. You are comparing a doctor with some reputation in Sports Medicine with a gynaecologist who tried his luck with Sports. If you want to compare, then put Conconi and the University of Ferrara or Heinrich and his Team from University of Freiburg am Breisgau.

The other point I want to remark is that the Journalist confounded the treatment used by Barcelona Doctors with Xavi. It is a fact that Xavi was treated with what in spanish is called “plasma enriquecido” or Plasma Rich in Growth Factors. I found an article in Wiki describing this treatment, so I offer it to the experts to analyze it, because I am definitely not an expert in that materia:

And a third point I want to remark: @DeSqueran: Do not try to put some “bias” in this discussion, because no squad in Spain or Top Squad in Europe would finish clean. Real Madrid had also “dubious” doctors in his Portfolio, such as Antonio Escribano and his magic “Papillas”, Marcos Maynar and his “defense” of Athletic Bilbao Player Gurpegi such as his analysis of Real Madrid player’s values. Even Valencia used the services of Walter Virú, ex-Kelme Team Doctor. And I don’t think I have to talk about Sabino Padilla and his job as Athletic Bilbao Team Doctor…Even the Special One, Mr. José Mourinho, worked with Bryan English during his Chelsea years…Furthermore: How can a Team that begun their Pre-Season-Work 3 weeks earlier than the rest of the top teams be physically that strong during such a long time, while other European Teams (the “supposed” doped Barcelona included) are struggling in January/February? Only Water and Bread? Or the “miracles” of The Special One?

Spanish journalists, always unbiased, first replied: “They do not make such an effort: it’s the ball that runs“. Later, they were forced to admit: “They do run a lot, but only in short efforts, because they are always well placed on the field”.

Do not even try to suggest to Spanish journos that certain Barça players could be on drugs: they will be outraged. And not only for their Barça, but for the Spanish national team too. To doubt Barça players means being accused of anti-patriotism.

Everton were ‘drugged Champions’ in the mid 60′s rather than the 50′s. My oldest mate from school, calls them that to this day. Admittedly he was a Spurs fan then & they were Evertons top rivals at the time, but its been well documented since the 1970′s.

“Barcelona and Real Madrid have won the European Cup and there is no doping”
