Re: "Doping in football is widespread" - Wenger
I was watching the documentary on Lance Armstrong last night and he got away with for 15 years and he was tested frequently. Really, wouldn't surprise me if certain teams had endurance enhancing drugs. I'm certain there's a drug goalkeepers can take that makes them perform exceptionally well against us at home, as half of them walked away with motm against is last season.
Its hard to imagine every player/ team is clean just look at Fifa, corrupt from top to bottom. If they cant be clean how can they expect all players/ teams to be clean from performance enhancing drugs, or operations....

There are degrees and of course knowing the testing schedule helps.
After the Rio Rerdinand case (I know for a fact he was doing Bugle whilst at West Ham,so I'm presuming he was guilty @ MUFC but dont know for certain .)
it is well known in circles that someone in the FA was tapped up so that people knew when the Ester was coming to their club.
Now theres doping and doping , Blood Doping was common at one stage ,special vitamin injections the norm too but systematic Doping involving Steroids would surely mean that it is bieng done by all !

We may have previous for this sort of thing, the infamous (or not) Monkey Gland tablet incident of 1925:
"Arsenal manager Leslie Knighton, warned by Chairman Henry Norris that the FA Cup of 1925 represented his final chance of glory, was approached by a Harley Street specialist armed with a box of ‘courage pills’, and Knighton decided to see what the effects would have on his players.
During the ensuing third round FA Cup clash with West Ham at Upton Park, his players tore around “like Olympic sprinters,” developed a raging thirst into the bargain, and made their hearts beat at over 160 beats per minute. Doubters have suggested that the story may actually be apocryphal, but it does highlight the pressure Knighton was under regardless."

Re: "Doping in football is widespread" - Wenger
I remember, many years ago, there was a documentary on ITV which included a feature on two youth players who had been given drugs to stop them growing too tall (the idea being that you need small feet to kick the ball correctly).
The rumour that DB10's mum fed him this instead of follow-on milk are, as yet, unsubstantiated.
In John Charles's autobiography he tells that, when at Leeds, they were given monkey glands on a regular basis. Gareth Bale OD'd on them.
To see how widespread doping is in sport generally, often state-sponsored, it would be naive to think it isn't widespread in football.
