read the session on reddit and found this is interesting, hadn't heard of the rumor before. anyone knows who it is? I guess they're talking about someone who has played for
Barca or Real.

Thank you for coming to the wonderful
/r/soccer for this AMA !
As other people have mentioned, Der Spiegel received a leak containing information about a certain multiple Champions League winner who did not clear a doping test.
Does this surprise you? Do you think doping is prevalent in football? People always discuss the possibility of doping being widespread throughout the sport, just simply covered up. Is this something that you think could be likely?

Hi, thanks for having us! For media law reasons, we can't give any more precise details about upcoming stories, as it would make it easier for the counterparty to try stopping us from publication. Also, on some topics the research is still going on and we're trying to get a more accurate picture of the story itself, so it would be wrong to share information before publishing. The story ist only ready when it's printed/online...
It would not surprise me, however, if we found out that doping is a huge issue in football. There's just too much money and, to be honest, shady figures involved for it not to be an issue. I can't judge how widespread it is, though.
