As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
On a serious note there must be doping of some sort in football. At the highest level with the finest margins and so much at stake there will always be those who will happily cheat if they think it will give them the edge.
And the reality is that anti-doping agencies are by nature always going to be one step behind. They have to wait for cheats to invent new methods before they figure out how to catch them and prevent it.

Was there not some mild controversy over Wenger’s use of Creatine and vitamin injections early in his reign with us?
All you need to do is look at the hundreds of doped up athletes (and companies Like BALCO, which hid in plain sight), to reasonably assume that loads of players will be off their mash on ecstasy pipes.
Whether there really is the will to find out is another matter.

I'd say Spuddy.
Or Fwank.
Or Lefty.
Or OneBard.
TBH there were a couple of lads on here that were proper Ewoks. Simon (whose username I can't remember - he was a mate of GayJay's), was tiny but a nice lad - went to an NLD with him. And MM99 who played in one of the Mackem fans' games was like a 10 year old! And not just short but really thin as well.
