Swedish article, so you might use google translate.
It is naiv to believe there is no doping in football.

I didn't say I believed there is no doping. I was merely criticizing that article. It's just pure clickbait ("people may not like the answers"), based on no actual evidence, and then you read the article and there's actually nothing there.

Journalism should be dealing with facts and answer the what, who, where, when, why, and how of things factually. These days, however, sites make their money on page loads, sometimes their writers are paid based on page loads, so it's far better to have great titles than great articles and also, by having spending less time focusing on quality, they can post more shitty articles a day, maximizing their revenue. The person who spends two weeks working on a good story will make far less money.

I'm all for a serious investigation of doping in football. Let's get in there. But articles like that are a big bunch of nothing.

Just saw this video, about doping in football.
Didn't knew Guardiola have been busted.

But interesting when we keep believing doping isn't a problem in football.
