The article does not name any football players known to be involved. In fact it states the opposite- "Le Monde a eu accès à une série de documents confidentiels, qui ne sont pas nominatifs" |

"Ces inscriptions codées sont les mêmes que celles répertoriées sur les plans de préparation établis par le docteur Fuentes pour les coureurs de l'équipe cycliste Liberty Seguros, que la police espagnole, la Guardia Civil, a saisi en mai dans le cadre de"l'opération Puerto"." "These coded notes are the same as those used by Dr Fuentes for the Liberty Seguros Cycling Team....." |

Real and Barca are named, but not the names of actual players for those teams.

L'Equipe has seen how doping scandals in a sport as secondary as cycling (even the tour) can sell papers. Imagine what a doping scandal at the top of football would do for circulation. They and all other papers, not just sports rags, would kill to be able to print the headline "Zidane implicated in Puerto". I remember last year on the BBC Football programme. They were talking about the situation in Italy & the UK with bungs, and match fixing (maybe somebody else will remember who the French ex Arsenal player was) but when he began to mention drugs as well they immediately shut him up... Why? Also rumours abounded last summer of one of the photos at Fuentes place having been Zizou. Teams like Man U, Chelsea, Juve, Real, Barca etc are rich enough to make any newspaper think twice before risking their future. Even Armstrong whose wealth is puny compared to these teams managed to take on the Times... I don't know the answers, but I do trust the word on the street a little more than the Teams' PR... |

I'm admittedly just a casual fan of Euro sports...but much of the spin/conspiracy theories that I've read here in the States on the topic of soccer (you know...football) and doping, is that *they* (being the media, UEFA, FIFA, etc.) saw the crisis with Major League Baseball and decided that it was a can of worms that they didn't want to be opened. |
