Zeman's accusations of Juve's doping has certainly stirred a few talking points in Italy.

But if, take note of the IF, he was right, and Juve did give its players a few doses of muscle enhancing substances, then don't you think it is taking its toll on our Captain?

Del Piero over the years, has had muscular problems left and right. He seems to be pulling some muscular problems which has seen him not perform consistently due to recurring problems.

Do you guys think it has something to do with the "un-natural"?

I know this will stir some talking point here as well, so let's hear it.

[Primo]

Oh, Vieri too? Now that's something. Vieri is a HUGE man. Anybody got a pic of Vieri before he grew those muscles?

i though this could happen to any player, take alook at ronaldo last year, anyhow i don't know you might be right

 

[Primo]

But didn't Ronaldo get FAT, and not MUSCULAR?

Vieri on the other hand, became stronger. I don't know in the case of our captain but when I watched his 1st 100 Goals video in the multimedia section of this forum, You could see how thin or smaller he was in the previous years.

I dunno if the side effects of creatine would involve the tearing of muscle tissues, which seemingly could be attributed to the natural consequence of being on a football pitch for a majority of your life more than anything else.

What kidn of drug are we exactly being accused of?

 

[Desmond]

EPO.

I recall Vieri being a lot smaller at Juve, that was back in 97. Since then, I believe around the time he went to Lazio, he got a lot bigger. Same thing goes for Crespo, just a kid at Parma, huge at Lazio.

Yeah crespo was kinda thin, he changed alot...

 

[Desmond]

i'm sure there're lots of cases of players getting bigger over a short period of time,just goes to show how much more our players are noticed due to our success.

Different clubs have different slants on training. Some people will tell a striker that he should put on some upper body strenght, so he can challenge for high balls better, and muscle past defenders. Others will emphasise speed and agility, which are hurt by that same muscle development. Increases in size mean very little; these are professional athletes - if they want to put on some muscle weight, they will.

manchester united,for example,actually has a programme for on-loan youngsters to follow to beef up their body mass to meet the future rigours of EPL football.the regime actually specifically aims to increase size,strength and physical size of players.

What is EPO?

What is EPO?

It's a drug that boosts your red blood cell count. It's banned in sports, as abuse is dangerous. It was developed as a medicine.

 

[Primo]

Isn't white blood cell the one that repairs?

Yes, but the red one carries oxygen. It doesn't take much imagination to see why that might be useful to an athlete.

This is what i wanted to say, it could be different case, just like what you said...and as you said they are prof they can put on some weight muscle if they want to build up there body at any time, and i think this helps alot, anyhow still there's a chance of using the EPO

Though that's obviously true, we all know our players took drugs. I don't even know if it's still something to be ashamed about. It looks like pretty much everyone is doing it.
