@SkySportsPL Dominic, Would you rather have sex with the top half of Sydney Sweeney with the bottom part of Hulk Hogan, or the top half of Hulk Hogan with the bottom half of Sydney Sweeney?

@AndyMitten I remember going to watch Birkikara vs United over there in 2000. Love Malta

🧵 In celebration, time to bring back something I wrote in 2017.

Peptide "PED" Guardiola. A thread on Pep's historical habit of doping & performance enhancing drugs, his links to other cheats, suspicious doctors & ongoing rumours that surround him to this day.

💉💉💉

In 2001 playing for Brescia, Pep had tested positive twice against Piacenza & Lazio. Both samples showed levels of the anabolic steroid nandrolone. Nandrolone improves athletes ability to train harder, recovery faster & help the body build muscle by producing extra protein.

Guardiola tested six times the legal limit. In the corrupt world of Italian football (at the time), he was given a 4 month ban & €50,000 fine. Naturally Pep was insistent of his innocence. “A machine says I have taken nandrolone, but I know I didn’t,” he said.

“Before Piacenza I only took the multivitamins that Dr. Ramon Segura, my trusted physiologist, has prepared for me for six or seven years."

That brings us to Ramon Segura, who also represented Frank De Boer, who tested 5 times the limit to Nandrolone 7 months before Guardiola.

Segura claimed the supplements were contaminated & the cause of the positive test. Investigations found this wasn't possible. Segura joined Guardiola at Barcelona in 2009. In 2010 the club were fined €30,000 for failing to provide accurate details of their players’ whereabouts.

Unfortunately, in European Sports where doping is rife these things are largely ignored. But despite the coach's brilliant training methods which are undoubted, maybe here's a secret to how his plays get stronger, bigger, & running faster & further than ever before 💉

Oh I forgot to mention Luis Garcia del Moral - who was 1 of the 3 doctors banned for life following Lance Armstrong's life ban. He provided riders with EPO, blood transfusions & masking agents. Where was he also a medical advisor? FC Barcelona.

Cyclist Floyd Landis says he paid del Moral to work with him to execute successful blood tranfusions for the 2005 Tour de France. Del Moral is the third doctor (Segura & Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes are the others) with links to doping to be associated with FC Barcelona.

It doesn't appear coincidence that there were less links to doping during Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich stint - was it perhaps that Pep's Peptides & PED's weren't allowed in Bavaria? Let's not forget his feud with the medical staff & that four doctors walked out on him in 2015.

The close bond between Pep & Dr Ramon Cugat created huge friction at Bayern Munich. Guardiola told doctors at Bayern that “it cannot be that injuries here last six weeks but in Spain only a fortnight.”

Those same issues haven't happened at Manchester City.. well because go figure. Bit strange that players have to be sent for treatment in Barcelona when there is world class facilities in Manchester already.

Something I forgot to mention in the original thread: Manchester City were fined THREE TIMES within the first 6 months of Pep Guardiola's appointment for violations of anti-doping regulations.

Ten Hag has been shown four yellow cards this season. None of those incidents were anywhere close to being as bad as this. How does he always get away with it??

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

This is not ok. Pep Guardiola is an arrogant, snarky narcissist who is escalating in this regard. A drug cheat as a player, continued as a manager & is now at Manchester City the biggest cheats in modern English football history.

His career is a house of cards waiting to tumble.

The irony being that Goldbridge is a paid mouthpiece of the Qataris, platformed by the club and he’s not even a United fan.

@HywelCymru @DaiNewpt I'm related to three EV supporters - there was some animosity at the time, but it was clearly pointed out by Tony Brown that Marcus Russell couldn't afford their 50% of pro rugby. EV finished bottom of the WP that season & were saved due to the expansion of the WP to 17 sides

@RugbyPhilBB @HywelCymru @DaiNewpt It's mad how few know/remember this about Cardiff and Llanelli.

[Adam Barrett @Barrett1980]

@DaiNewpt He and that parasitic omnishambles are a perfect match

[Adam Barrett @Barrett1980]

@HywelCymru @DaiNewpt 2/2 I can't understand exactly how they've gone "too far down the Newport route" considering all of the above. But it's worth noting that without the Newport name, they'd sold only 39 season tickets and were about to go into liquidation. They have no claim to Newport's heritage

[Adam Barrett @Barrett1980]

@HywelCymru @DaiNewpt I don't know about "supposed to" - they made that decision after about 9 years of existence. Same as changing the colours to black and red and removing 'Newport' from the badge and adding "Men of Gwent". Plus Hazell publicly stating "this is not a Newport team" in 2005.

[Adam Barrett @Barrett1980]

@DaiNewpt @GallivanDave @StattoNewport Could there be legal grounds here? Impersonation, to try to steal support from city rival to prop up the failed pro side? Genuine question. There are already comments below their kit post such as "the black & ambers are back" which shows possible hoodwinking through plagiarism
