There are plenty of pictures on RM official sites with a time different of 0 or 1 day that shows that indeed the first pictures where for him after he got out of the gem. And no, I'm not gonna look for them because you don't deserve the effort, look it up yourself to quench your trolling needs.

Though I do feel sorry for if you don't know how intense training in the gem can make you looks vascular for a short term.

lol haters gonna hate. Plenty of athletes can look like Bale naturally with good genetics, which he obviously has.

Messi on the other hand still 'legally' taking HGH. Laughing

Wait, seriously? Now he is just abusing them.

Oh well, he will likely die younger than expected due to an enlarged heart.

I think it would be naive to think he wasn't already abusing them for a while. Just look at his current level of fitness and seeming health issues. Who throws up multiple times on the pitch for an extended period of time?

But then again I've never been a fan of allowing people medical licence to compete at a sport because they've taken some kind of drug to bring them on the level or past the level of other athletes. Even if you were born with a deficiency I still think it's cheating, but that's just me. You could just as easily say 'hey, I'm not as athletic so I'll take steroids...it's ok though because I'm just using them to get on the same level as the other athletes who put in the hard work to get there'.

i am long time reader but it is my first time posting, i am not good in writing so if my writing is bad i apologize in advance.
we all know messi was playing the same way even before he was treated with hgh,you can take as many peds as you like but it won,t teach youi how to dribble and pass and that is messi game.
on the other hand a player like Cristiano Ronaldo will benefit from using peds since his game is based on pace and power.
2 months after 2006 world cup he came back with ripped body and bigger muscles like (bale) now and since then his game took off and he has been using sheer power and athleticism, i believe bale is doing the same thing now, i am not accusing them of peds because i don't know if they are using or not but they will be more suspect then messi because they fit the criteria

Good post. The fact that they both fit the criteria makes them even more suspectable.

And Maravilla, ever heard of discussions? Laughing

i dont understand how hgh or steroids would help either player if im being 100% honest. people overrate footy as a "power" sport, when really it isn't; the best players have a relative even aerobic/anaerobic split. theres just too much of an aerobic demand to create truly explosive players.

blood doping is much more relevant
yeah, ronaldo or di maria wouldnt beat an nfl player at a 40m, but they would rape him at a 400m

and you would add more muscle in 3 months with steroids then that. like, a LOT more

by Onyx Sun Aug 17, 2014 2:47 pm

Bale said he didn't do anything special, just running and conditioning.

by Curtinho Mon Aug 18, 2014 5:18 pm

The real benefit to steroids and HGH in a sport like soccer, and most other non-powerlifting sports, is the increased recovery time. It means that you can train all out and then still go back the next day and train all out again because your regenerative qualities are so improved. In turn you will run faster, have better skills (practice makes perfect), have more power, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if half or more of the top athletes in the world are taking PEDs. Especially in sports like Hockey, Basketball and Baseball where they're playing such a huge schedule. Soccer is not as bad (like football even) but even just practicing 4 times a week and playing one or two games a week takes its toll on your body.

Aside from the health issues I don't see a huge problem with PEDs anyway. In most cases they're not going to turn a player from crap into gold. In theory, as long as they are administered properly and there are no rare side-effects, they should just allow an athlete to compete more which is good IMO.

#TheDifference between Bale/Neymar and Hazard. The former two regularly produce for their respective countries while the latter is De Bruyne's sideman.

And? His team played horrendous and both goals were still clutch AF.

He scored in two cup final winning last season. The season before he won more points than any other player in the Top 5 Leagues, I mean how many late winners did he score for Spurs that season?

He's the clutchest player in football atm now that Drogba is pretty much done. A player for the big occasion.

by Donuts Wed Sep 10, 2014 12:22 am

I laugh at the video him scoring against the sixth smallest country in Europe is as significant as scoring a solo goal against a division 4 team in a friendly..
but thats not taking away from like what you've said his achievements.

by Freeza Wed Sep 10, 2014 12:26 am

Not really. You don't get 3 points in qualifying for the 2016 euro by beating the 4th division team.

by RealGunner Wed Sep 10, 2014 12:39 am

Bale and Ramsey were both excellent in leading their team forward.

Bale really will carry wales to the Euros. Exceptional performance today.

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Sep 10, 2014 1:04 am

If England wants to win a trophy ever again they should merge with Wales to create Britain while Bale and Ramsey are still playing.

by Curtinho Wed Sep 10, 2014 4:43 am

Allen was better than Ramsey today, but he's not a big name. Bale, as always, is a pure beast. I don't know how people disregard just how good Bale is. Successor to Ronaldo indeed -- though more likeable to the masses I think (he's also a better dead ball specialist).

by LeBéninois Wed Sep 10, 2014 5:19 am

Bale is fantastic. Some people are too busy underlining his flaws and not enjoying him enough. Physical beast .

by chad4401 Wed Sep 10, 2014 5:33 am

bales was playing like a donkey during the last part of the season and is playing like a donkey right now get your facts straight

by LeBéninois Wed Sep 10, 2014 6:03 am

As you want man. let's just say that '' playing like a Donkey'' don't have the same meaning.

by LeBéninois Wed Sep 10, 2014 6:03 am

for me

by chad4401 Wed Sep 10, 2014 6:37 am

so you mean running straight off the pitch, at full speed is not playing like a donkey? and shooting wide every chance you get, when a teammate open, in a better position to score and your trying to win trophy, almost costing both finals single handily, because you was that bad, just to fluke out 2 goals is not playing like a donkey? sorry but that sounds like a donkey to me, but he scored right, right cheers

..... who cares what really happened

by LeBéninois Wed Sep 10, 2014 7:01 am

I'm not specifically talking about that game. My point is yeah all players have flaws but sespite those flaws I still enjoy them. I just enjoy Bale even if he's quite limited compared to the most gifted players in the world. I like how fast and effective he can be and most importantly his commitement.
