Interesting Accusation of Doping

[danfo driver]

In May 2001, Barcelona's Dutch player, Frank De Boer, tested positive in a match between Celta de Vigo and Barça. UEFA sanctioned him with several months of suspension. His nandrolone level was up to eight times higher than allowed.

All eyes pointed to the then doctor and nutritionist of the blue and garnet team, Dr. Ramón Segura, known for his "magic shakes."

The doctor of FC Barcelona was also the personal nutritionist of the then player of Brescia, Pep Guardiola. They had a close relationship. Just a few months after Frank De Boer's positive test, the Catalan player from the Italian team also tested positive for nandrolone in two different matches.

The specialist in "magic shakes" found himself implicated in two doping cases in less than 12 months.

A few years later, when Pep Guardiola took over as coach of Barcelona's first team, he requested the return of Dr. Ramón Segura as the nutritionist and doctor of the first team. The Catalan team signed the controversial doctor.

"Until 2013, the Spanish Football Federation did not conduct blood doping tests, the only method to detect EPO or growth hormones. They only conducted urine tests."

The Catalan team displayed great physical performance, with tremendous pressure as soon as they lost the ball and throughout the match. A considerable physical improvement was also noticed in some players, like Messi, who didn't suffer a single muscle injury during the Guardiola era.

From June 17, 2008, when Guardiola signed with the first team, until May 25, 2012, Lionel Messi never visited the infirmary due to muscular problems. Before the arrival of the Catalan coach, Messi suffered up to 6 injuries in two years.

After Guardiola left, Messi got injured again in March 2013.

"Lionel Messi never visited the infirmary during Guardiola's 4-year tenure due to muscular problems. Growth hormones significantly increase athletes' speed and strengthen their muscles."

Pep Guardiola was appointed as the coach of the first team in June 2008 and left the Catalan team in May 2012.

The only injury Lionel Messi suffered was in September 2010, against Atlético de Madrid, after a terrible tackle from Ujfalusi.

The Barça player was injured for seven days, missing the only two matches due to injury during the four years of the Guardiola era.

The Barça player recovered miraculously.

Messi's average injuries, discounting the years he coincided with the Catalan coach, are two muscle injuries per season.

Remember that the Argentine star underwent growth hormone treatment since his adolescence, a banned substance in professional sports. Some sources claim that Lionel Messi still takes this substance, which causes his repeated vomiting.

During Guardiola's years at Barça, the Spanish Football Federation did not conduct blood doping tests, the only method to detect EPO or growth hormones. They only conducted urine doping tests.

Only UEFA conducted blood doping tests. Curiously, in 2010, Barça avoided two UEFA blood doping tests.

According to an investigation by Cope in 2011, several players close to Guardiola, including Messi, appeared on the injured list, avoiding UEFA blood doping tests. Messi, for example, miraculously recovered from his "injury" the next day.

Sour grapes

This shouldn't be your reaction to this type of allegation.

I always wonder why Nigerians tend to waive cheating and corruption with a swipe of the hand. Others will take the deep breath and be genuinely concerned, and would want to know more. But Nigerians, no! Its always "they are jealous." Truly sad.
