Re: Gareth Bale
It is alleged there was evidence of doping in Spanish football uncovered in the Eufemiano Fuentes case but it was never investigated. Spanish authorities refused to cooperate fully with doping agencies on grounds that handing over samples and other evidence goes against their strict privacy laws.

is that photoshop? or just varicose veins
i thought all top footballers in top fifa leagues and competitions undergo drug tests?

Re: Gareth Bale
All Daniel has to do is switch his phone off for a week and Bale will stay for us. It seems all the stories going around now are exactly the same as the last 2 months and I'm yet to read anything concrete that confirms that Levy is happy to sanction the departure.
If I state that it is going to snow tomorrow and say it every day for the next 6 months I will eventually be right.

Re: Gareth Bale
Really getting boring now, isn't it. Shame there are enough people to fall for the daily "exclusive" Bale stories for the newspapers to keep presenting unsubstantiated rumours as fact. A quick Google news search shows that we have agreed a price for Bale numerous times:
1. august: £105 million
20. august: £93 million
22. august: £85 million
26. august: £86 million and £97 million

Re: Gareth Bale
We all know he's going but if it was to PSG or Monaco instead of Madrid, it would be hilarious. The stage built at the stadium and selling Bale shirts officially and then that happens would be the biggest F U to Real in their history.

This is such a ploy for Sky to pull in some extra money on Sky Bet. They shouldn't be allowed to act as a responsible broadcaster then release tripe stories that influence their betting market.

Re: Gareth Bale
We could sell at a lower price and it would still be worth it. Tell Perez to cough up the full 100 million or be made a fool. Presidential election coming up at Real, isn't there?

Hahaha that's quality. Whether its true or not its still class. Real Madrid must be getting sick to death of it.
What teams could it potentially be; PSG, Monco? The Italians couldn't stump up that cash could they?

Re: Gareth Bale
Brilliant.....there are almost certainly no other teams in for Bale and as commented Sky using the speculation to generate money through Sky Bet.
However, with only a week of the TW left now everyone is so bored of the RM deal the only way to generate interest is to create a new story that he is either staying or going elsewhere.
First rule of the media: 'Never let the truth get in the way of a good story'.

Re: Gareth Bale
So.. Who to believe... Sky sources or the Daily Mail article written be head of sports journalism Neil Ashton. If Neil Ashton is incorrect and has done what all ITKs do and summarise a situation to how they think it will pan out then he is going to get a load of abuse from Tottenham fans.

Re: Gareth Bale
Wasn't it (real) Ronaldo whose agent speculated that it was the steroids his clubs had given him over the years that were the cause of his injuries and weight gain.
The amount of testing in Premier League football and the sheer amount of people involved with the club's that see everything means that any doping would have to be on a player by player basis imo as there's no way clubs could buy designer steroids in bulk without someone letting the cat out of the bag.
Charles poliquin has said before that compared to the US and Olympic sports, training (and cheating) in football is generally decades behind, but Spanish football certainly seems to produce a large amount of gifted athletes.
Ronaldo is definitely suspicious - to put on that amount of muscle in such a short amount of time while running as much as he does is tough but doable, but as you say, with the veins and acne on show like that it's hard to believe it's natural.

Re: Gareth Bale
The £86m is also the original number conjured up by Marca when the story first broke. It's a nice round number in euros. The rest is just speculation and it seems the press have little extra. Bale has said nothing so it's not really clear if all his agitating behind the scenes is made up or not.
Personally I think as soon as the world record fee was seriously proposed, Levy would have decided to sell, which explains Bale's silence. Until we have the new stadium and regular CL football, we have to accept that players like Bale are beyond our means. We could have fought to hold on to him for another year, when the amount on offer would probably be less (seriously, what can we do if the offer is £60m and the player is agitating to move), or take the money (while Perez was playing politics with a world record deal) and give our new manager a chance to build the team he wants.

Re: Gareth Bale
Agree with this bit totally. Standing up to evil foreigners is one thing, but defying the media darlings would be cruel and unusual punishment. You only had to see the sycophantic display at the Mourinho press conference. Teenage girls at a Justin Beiber concert show more decorum.
