Today, Sunday at 10pm European time a new documentary will be streamed in German TV.
I haven't found a english link so I will copy the German one, and provide a summary of the article, feel free to google translate:

Free translation of some main points:
Joint investigation of ARD and sunday times have revealed doping methods of London based Doctor Dr. Mark Bonar. Some of his clients are premier league football players.
A fake client approaches gynecologist Mark Bonar with a hidden camera and Bonar reveals that he is "helping" more than 150 clients, among them football (soccer), tennis players, cyclist (TDF), boxing and cricket.
"...Of course some of my treatments I offer are prohibited in professional sports. But I have done this with many athletes for years already regardless. they come and approach me directly in discretion. Theirs and my reputation are at risk."
He has given top football players (soccer players for the US audience) around the world EPO growth hormones and testosterone. He claims soccer players are barely tested anyhow and older players could not keep up with youngers ones any longer.
The twist: a once caught and now banned athlete already openly spoke out against Dr. Bonar years ago and provided clear evidence to UKAD (the UK anti doping commission) for Bonars illegal activities. " Bonar for me is the UK version of Lance Armstrong's doctor, Dr. Ferrari. It was Bonar who provided me with Testosterone and asked me if I wanted to try EPO"
However, UKAD decided in 2015 that there would be no basis or reason to sue Dr. Bonar or bring him to court. The athlete: "For me it looked like UKAD was actively trying to hide a large scale doping scandal in the UK and sweep evidence under the rug"
Wada apparently shows relative concern after having seen the complete material of the documentary. However, there is no mention in the article wether they will investigate this case.
=======================================================
- says nothing about track and field
- not sure what to think of it so far (will try to watch the documentary tonight).
I have personally always thought that soccer players are doped, so nothing new here for me.
