Spanish authorities have been forced to give those blood bags to WADA. The doctor arises from doped many cyclists but was also once an employee of FC Barcelona.

 

DNA tests of wider Spanish based sportsmen active in 2006 may have interesting results...

What's going on with all the tax shenanigans at Barça? Messi and Mascherano and that.

 

The club is not involved in those two cases. What was being judged here was how Neymar's transfer had been conducted on the tax front. Mostly we paid him a huge signup fee, and we reported it as a transfer fee, which is taxed less than a salary. The taxman said "no, it's a wage", and we had to pony up back dated tax (€13 million) and a €5 million fine.

 

Thanks. So, what's going on with all the tax shenanigans at Barça? Messi and Mascherano and that. :)

An investment group supported by the Chinese state government is attempting to purchase Liverpool for £700million, The Independent can reveal.

 

It has emerged that Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group have been aware of the proposal from SinoFortone since March.

 

SinoFortone, who are fronted by managing director Peter Zhang, has committed £5.2billion towards new projects in the UK over the last 12 months.

 

They have already explored the potential of building a new stadium in the dockland area of Liverpool, appreciating that Anfield’s new main stand will be completed in September.

 

Their plans also involve the redevelopment of the club’s training ground at Melwood and the installation of a series of football academies across China.

 

It is believed that Fenway, who are led by John W. Henry, are reluctant to sell Liverpool at this moment and have been unreceptive to the approach.
