ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Alan Moore (the journalist’s claims the establishment are trying to rebuke) has predicted Jurgen will walk this season and he’s fallen out with FSG over transfers and that Ljinders is a snake. Who knows what is true but I could definitely buy the last part.

He's a Putin puppet - a sleeper agent reactivated to bring down Big Red.

Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous in all your life? I hope he sues the BBC for all they're worth.

As for Klopp and FSG: I could well see a parting of the ways. Klopp knows (and has now admitted) this is a major rebuilding job. He's just signed an extension and he'll be delighted to be sacked I would't mind betting. His moving on is due in terms of his career change cycle.

Laughable hit piece by the BBC. it is banned for a reason. Also ignores that TUEs can open the door for other similar drugs to be administered. a Liverpool player was seen with a symbicort inhaler which is also on the banned list. Here's what WADA say:

‘It’s not the medical practice that we’re trying to control, it’s fundamentally that beta-2 agonists can be performance enhancing in high doses,’ says Rabin.

WADA’s policy, then, stems above all from an interpretation of the research surrounding salbutamol and its anabolic properties. In some senses it’s a lot to hinge on research that remains theoretical only. But WADA is well-equipped to make the call.

‘We have some of the leading experts in respiratory physiology and pharmacology working with us,’ Rabin says. ‘So we are very confident that what is established today is adequate.’

Some more reliable sources than some quilt on a BBC podcast:

I get the feeling that doping in football at this elite level will be the next big story to hit the game. This is going to explode soon enough.

I'm no expert, but it feels like football isn't as rigorously tested as some other sports like cycling or swimming. 15 PL players were found to have failed drug tests a couple of years back and went unpunished. That news only got out because of FOI requests by journalists and the industry seems to be turning a blind eye to it because of effects on 'the brand'.

I posted on here a link from LFC itself a few weeks back showing that they are working with asthma drug companies in plain sight - an attempt to include as many of their squad in the asthmatic category as they could shove in there. It's as brazen as you can get.

The Establishment hits back for their football club...using experts involved with LFC in the past.

It's a pitiful defence....and the accusations originate from Irish reporters working for Putin's Russia!!!


The whole world knows what they're doing.

DOPERS!

This was always buried until they decided to attack UEFA after last seasons CL debacle. The English Establishment club were always given favours in Europe, e.g. not playing behind closed doors at home for smashing City's team coach etc., but now they are feeling the heat. No way does a ref. give two pens. against that lot pre-CL assault on UEFA. They have made it worse for themselves by trying to string it out with compensation claims, MPs asking questions etc.. Klopp very well knows the score what is happening, hence his subdued interview last night after the game. Can't wait for the, 'UEFA has a Witch-hunt against LFC' headlines by the RS dominated media.

You could be right. Maybe there's a will to see them out of the CL early this season. They'll want a bit of time to get their new operations system for a final up and running before Liverpool's horde of rioters and murderers next taste a final.
