No one even remembers Eliaquim Mangala. £45m, a total disaster, same as Jovetic (£25m) Negredo (£23m) or Bony (£30m). All signed in a 12-month period. Because there was always more where that came from

É oficial. O comunicado divulgado hoje pela Premier League acaba por confirmar, perentoriamente, a veracidade de tudo aquilo que foi revelado através do Football Leaks. A Comissão Independente é também especialmente dura na forma como classifica as acções praticadas pelos dirigentes do Manchester City, que, sem sombra de dúvida, actuaram com a maior impunidade, desafiando tudo e todos. Demonstraram, desde sempre, não ter qualquer respeito pelas regras, pelas entidades de fiscalização e regulação, pela integridade da competição, pelos outros clubes e, acima de tudo, pelos fãs.
Anos e anos de batota, mentira e manipulação terão, finalmente, consequências.

@WelBeast They were found to be guilty… so they’re not innocent (checks notes)… at all.

[LOLA @CuteNaija]

I strongly believe that apart from 115 charges that lasted till 2018 (The year under review)

Manchester City still need to be investigated for 2018 - 2026.

There is a very high chance more charges will be revealed. They didn't stop cheating in 2018.

[Craig Ellis @CraggerRagger]

The fact that a 15 year old child wanting to leave man united before he's even been in a matchday squad got so much attention from sky sports, yet a club being found guilty of 114 charges gets such little airtime and criticism is nuts

[Oliver Holt @OllieHolt22]

I hate the idea of asterisks or spaces where winners’ names should be. It feels like a desecration of football’s history. But after the guilty verdicts, I don’t see any other way - City should be relegated from the PL and stripped of titles won since 2009 https://t.co/WVzrh61iyU

Paying refs at Barca.
Blood doping at Bayern.
Financial cheating at city.

Pep Guardiola is the Lance Armstrong of football.

The Untold Pep Files: A Story of Drugs, Referees, and Dark Money in Football👇

Imagine a story so massive it makes the Lance Armstrong scandal look like a warm-up act. It starts with a single player, spans across three countries, and exposes a decades-long trail of destroyed evidence, "miracle" doctors, and institutional corruption.
Welcome down the rabbit hole. 🕵️‍♂️⚽

CHAPTER 1: The Player Who Got Caught
Before Pep Guardiola was the master tactician, he was a midfielder for Brescia in 2001. That was the year he tested positive twice for the banned anabolic steroid nandrolone.
His defense? "Contaminated multivitamins."
Who was the man preparing those exact vitamins? Dr. Ramon Segura, the same physiologist who was working with Frank de Boer when De Boer also tested positive for nandrolone that exact same year.
The pattern was set early: win at all costs, and surround yourself with questionable medicine.

CHAPTER 2: The Barcelona "Miracles" & Operación Puerto
When Pep took over Barcelona in 2008, guess who he immediately brought in to lead the medical staff? Dr. Ramon Segura.
At the same time, Spanish football was shadowed by Operación Puerto, the infamous raid on Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes that uncovered 99 blood bags containing EPO. Fuentes openly admitted on trial that he had worked with football and tennis stars, famously taunting the court that naming his clients meant Spain would have to give back their Champions League, European Championship, and World Cup trophies.
The Spanish judge’s response? Refuse to let him name names, reject WADA’s appeal, and order all blood bags destroyed under the guise of doctor-patient confidentiality.
Add to this:
Journalists uncovering full-season "doping preparation plans" for La Liga giants.
Real Sociedad’s president admitting they spent €327,000 annually on illegal black-market PEDs.
Retracted slips on radio revealing players using growth hormones for "muscle recovery."
Spanish football's Golden Era was built, but the paper trail was conveniently burned.

CHAPTER 3: The System Expands — Financial Doping & Negreira
Winning wasn't just happening on the pitch; it was being secured everywhere else.
While the public obsessively meme's about Premier League charges, Barcelona was paying millions to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, the Vice President of Spain's Refereeing Committee. When asked in court to provide the "referee reports" they claimed to be paying for, Barca couldn't produce them. They paid off the referees' boss, plain and simple.

CHAPTER 4: The Bayern Friction
When Pep arrived at Bayern Munich, he tried to bring his hyper-aggressive medical protocols with him. He insisted on sending injured players back to Barcelona to be treated by his preferred specialists.
This sparked an explosive fallout with Bayern’s legendary physician Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, who walked out in disgust over Pep’s demands for unnatural, record-breaking recovery times. Bayern’s old guard refused to bend the knee to Pep's dark arts.

CHAPTER 5: Manchester City & The Ultimate Machine
At Manchester City, Pep finally found a club with zero moral boundaries to stop him.
The strategy reached its final, perfected evolution:
Financial Doping: Siphoning billions in hidden payments to bypass FFP rules and buy infinite depth.
Medical Anomaly: Key players like De Bruyne, Kompany constantly flying to Barcelona to see Dr. Ramon Cugat, mysteriously recovering weeks ahead of human biology norms.
Refereeing “controversies” and literally paying off referees like Michael Oliver.
When Samir Nasri got caught receiving illegal IV drip treatments in 2016, it was framed as an isolated mistake.
THE VERDICT
From nandrolone positives in 2001 to 115 financial charges and paid-off referee chiefs today... Pep Guardiola didn't just adapt to elite football. He systematically redefined how to cheat it.
You think Lance Armstrong was the biggest cover-up in sports history?
You haven't been paying attention.

Oasis touring and city in league 2.

The 90's are back. 😎

[mattkandela @mattkandela]

There is nothing worse in sport than being found guilty of cheating.

Lance Armstrong is a great predictor of how the world will come to look at Man City.

No corporate sponsor outside of Abu Dhabi will touch this brand for a decade.

No kid outside of the families of existing fans will wear the shirt.

The light blue shirt and crest will be synonymous with cheating in the same way as the yellow Livestrong wrist band

Game over.

And good riddance.

🚨 Premier League clubs planning legal action following guilty verdict against Manchester City relating to financial rule breaches. Lawyers instructed & work under way for some time before #ManCity outcome; would be after any appeals process @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/cNGSwkpn9J
