A British doctor has allegedly admitted to prescribing performance-enhancing drugs to 150 elite sportspeople, including Premier League footballers.
The Sunday Times claimed anti-ageing specialist Mark Bonar had been secretly filmed also confessing to supplying banned substances such as erythropoietin (EPO), steroids and human growth hormone drugs.
Bonar is said to have boasted about treating players from Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester City and Birmingham City. Although there is no evidence the clubs were aware of any alleged relationship he might have had with the footballers.
He was alleged to have told an aspiring Olympic runner, who was working undercover for the newspaper: " Some of these treatments I use are banned on a professional circuit. So you have to be mindful of that".
The doping claims if true, would represent one of the biggest ever drugs scandal in British sport.
