There's no evidence because the world of football doesn't want it to be found. Don't you find it unusual that many other major sports (tennis, cycling, athletics, baseball) have had high profile PED scandals, and that footbal

I think there's a really strong culture of not wanting to look too deep into football's affairs. Football is a massive cash machine, and everyone involved stands to lose money if this (obvious, in my view) scandal breaks. This inc

Agreed. I got a whole bunch of tailored business attire for literally 10% of the European cost while on holiday in China. The quality is amazing, and the style is copied from the latest designs, just no label is applied so no infringement.

Most likely, and I think both would've been successful regardless. But their success and impact would've likely been greatly diminished if they were not in the right place and right time before the dotcom bubble popped.

Even better, have the set top box as a device you control, such as raspberry pi running Kodi, so the software is flexible and less likely to become horribly obsolete. Not a solution for the mass market however, due to the setup work involve
