It’s a grim read, especially the players that aren’t even aware they’re taking them! What was the real story of Rio’s missed drug testing back in the day? I remember it being a big story at the time.

You genuinely have to question how certain players, and I'm thinking Messi and Ronaldo, managed to play at the most elite level for 15 years without ever having a serious injury. And they both played the full game a huge percentage of the time. I'm aware that they are so good that it's not easy to get close enough to them, but both played roughly 60 games a season. And i can't remember either being out for a lengthy period of time with even small injuries.
