Saying that, it won't just be Barça who are at it. It will be all clubs at the top level. Huge greed, huge rewards, no desire of the authorities to expose anyone. Chairmen aren't going to let rival clubs cheat them out of millions of pounds each year. They'll either get it exposed, or join in. And it isn't being exposed.
This greed among the top clubs means the only possible scenarios are all top clubs are clean or all top clubs dope. There can not be only one or 2 clubs doing it for this reason. It's either none, or all of the clubs at the top. Barça would probably be the best club to do this at if they were the only ones but still.
Shit loads of money up for grabs + greedy owners/chairmen with no morals + a distinct lack of interest from footballs authorities in exposing any cheating = ?
This is probably the real competition in football. Who succeeds the best at doping their players and getting match officials and the authorities on side.
If the top clubs are all at it, then no player is going to speak out and ruin their career. A failed player would easily be discredited or destroyed if they spoke out, or easily bribed not to. Some players may not even be aware what the club doctors are giving them, if indeed young developing players are even involved. Maybe it only happens once they have something to lose.
