EPLpod: Manchester City may be dopes, but are they doping?

Where has it all gone wrong for Manchester City? On the field Pep has been left scratching his head and gazing into the abyss, while off the field City are facing questions over possible doping. Mike and Paul leave no stone unturned in order to get to the bottom of this developing story. However, it’s likely that the only way we’ll know for sure is if a drug test is carried out for the Manchester City team. If you’re not sure on what doping in sport is, it is essentially the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs which will give those using them an unfair advantage over other sportsmen not using them, regardless of technique or fitness levels. There are five classes of these banned drugs, including stimulants and hormones. Regardless of the type, doping ruins the equality of sports and is a form of cheating. Therefore, due to the severity of doping, various drug tests are usually carried out routinely for athletes to ensure that doping is not occuring in any sportsmen. This is where Countrywide Tesing comes in handy, with various drug tests, including a hair follicle test, available for sports teams to use on their members. This is an efficient way of handling drug misuse.

Elsewhere, plucky Liverpool scrape by Plymouth in the FA Cup and Manchester United top the table. The money table that is.
