Getafe coach (and ex-Barcelona / Real Madrid player) Bernd Schuster came out quite forcefully today against the current allegations that doping has been taking place in La Liga. The money qoute:"It's absolutely crazy. The way I see it is that someone decided to throw a rock and then went to go hide. I really don't like this one bit, they haven't realized that the accusations alone will be terribly hard to dispell. If there's evidence, then let's see it and go from there. The only thing that it's done so far is ruin reputations, I don't know if that's what's behind this or not. Futhermore, the news came from France, they're real friends of ours."That last part I can only assume relates to Germany's national team and their semifinal victories over France at Espana '82 and Mexico '86. Just a guess.
Here's a good summary of where this story is at the moment. [Marca, The Guardian]
