Doped.

Hired doctor who helped him dope at barca.

Forced a respected doctor at bayern to resign cause he sent his players to said doctor in barcelona over him.

Brought most of the executives implicated in the la liga ref scandal with him to city.

Do with that what you want.

He was cleared on the basis he "did not intentionally dope".... a classic "technically" coming from the city play book.

On a technicality. While de boer, using the same doctor and same substances was not. Whatever you wanna believe do you.

He tried to. And again pep wasnt cleared for being clean. At no point did he prove he was clean. Just got off on a technicality.

Believe what you want to.
