It is not that the Sir Alex vs Pep debate is now over, it is that it was foolish it was even being had at all. His entire career is surrounding by both kinds of doping.
Pep tested positive for PED's (nandrolone) as a player, six times the legal limit. Dr Segura, who worked with him at the time, joined him at Barcelona in 2009.
Luis Garcia del Moral - who was 1 of the 3 doctors banned for life following Lance Armstrong's life ban - was a medical advisor to Barcelona.
Del Moral is one of three doctors (Segura & Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes are the others) with links to doping who have ties to Barcelona.
Manchester City were also fined THREE TIMES within the first 6 months of Pep's appointment for violations of anti-doping regulations.
And I haven't even mentioned the Negreira corruption case with Barcelona, involving payments to a former refereeing chief.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
- Caso Negreira cuando entrenaba al Barça.
- Pasó sin pena ni gloria por el Bayern.
- 114 infracciones del Manchester City en su etapa como entrenador.
La mayor mentira de la historia del fútbol.
The likely punishment when decisions are made.
1. Forced to start the season on -1 point (which they will immediately recoup by winning their opening fixture 5–0 in which the opponent club will mysteriously have 3 players sent off).
2. A sternly worded letter of disapproval delivered directly to Sheikh Mansour, signed in slightly darker ink than usual.
3. A nominal £50,000 fine (payable in four easy instalments or directly from Enzo Maresca’s spare pocket change).
4. A 10-minute transfer window ban taking effect exclusively on a Tuesday at 3:00 AM in mid-July.
5. Everton docked another 10 points as a cautionary warning to the rest of the league.
🚨 The balance between RED CARDS in favor and against since 2001:
• Real Madrid: (128 in favor, 128 against) 0
• Atletico Madrid: (134 in favor, 133 against) +1
• Barcelona: (172 in favor, 103 against) +69

The Defence Minister is right. It’s why I have never been considered Jewish by the Jewish community. My mother was a Church of England Protestant. And by this logic, my father was not Jewish either. His mother was a French Catholic. As ever, in attempting to undermine my sons, Pakistan’s Defence Minister has scored an embarrassing own goal.
Adding “drink some water” to my arsenal of things to say during disagreements with my wife, along with “calm down” and “you’re acting like your mother”
José Mourinho coached his first Inter Milan match 18 years ago. Since then, 118 coaches have managed in the Serie A.
In these 18 years, Italian football has won 3 European trophies. 🇮🇹
José Mourinho won 2 of them, the other 117 coaches combined won 1.
Respect, man. Respect.
