The Almighty Sergio Ramos Appreciation Thread

Ramos is either reckless or dirty. I'd say reckless just based on the way he does everything on the field

 

He's just reckless, he's from Camas -which is like the bullfighters' paradise- and wanted to be a bullfighter but his family forbade him.

 

One of football’s greatest innovators who improvised the chipped penalty, Antonin Panenka: “Ramos is the best [panenka] imitator because he’s scored it more than once. People know he does it & still he makes it. So that’s great for him.”

Ramos is easily my favorite capitan after Raul. Dude is a Real Madrid legend, and Madridistas who call him dirty are the gullible kind. Ramos is aggressive, reckless and dominant, but he is anything but dirty. People who think football doesn't have the occasional rough challenge or accident clearly don't play it enough. You don't hear footballers (other than Barca and Liverpool players with an agenda) complain about these. Most of these happen in a contact sport. If Ramos really wanted to mess someone up, he could've done worse. Utter B.S. that he tries to do this stuff on purpose. You don't go into a game trying to engineer an injury, it happens. If that was Messi, I bet some of these so called "Madridista," would give him a pass.

 

All the defenders do that, it's nothing unusual in football. It was unfortunate that the guy was hurt but i've seen many Viktoria players do the same move in that very same game.

 

We don't have to imagine it. Messi tackled Ramos violently in the second clasico last season. The commentator was talking about the cute friendship Messi has with Suarez and he avenged Ramos' foul on poor toothless Suarez. Awww

 

Despite the differences between reckless and intentional or willingness, it is the accumulation of Ramos just being a wrecking ball that is being latched on to.

He's one of my favorite players but there's no need to defend him on most of it, it's a contact sport and those things go both ways. It's teams like Atletico that should be the focus because in their case we are not talking about isolated incidences, we are talking about an entire game plan.

 

Picked up a knock, set to miss the game Vs Bosnia

 

Sergio Ramos (98) is two goals away from scoring his 100th career goal: Sevilla (3), Real Madrid (78) and Spain (17).

With Real Madrid, he has scored in every competition; La Liga, Copa del Rey, CL, CWC, Spanish Super Cup and European Super Cup.

 

Defender with 100 goal.. something

 

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid. It’s only illegal if a pro football player takes it orally. The club’s doctors gave it to him with via injection because of an injury. This is in no way a violation of anti-doping laws. I’m sick and tired of the media misleading people.

 

If this came out about Ronaldo you guys would have ate it up like Thanksgiving dinner. I believe it was 4x4 making jokes about how funny it would be if CR got caught up for this...

Nonetheless this German media outlet seems to exclusively attack Real Madrid & it’s players. It’s quite clear what their motives are. This shit really pisses me off & now no matter how much evidence is presented to the contrary people will always believe this fake new about Ramos. This shit sucks.

 

UEFA deny that there were irregularities in the anti-doping control with Sergio Ramos

A letter from the director of WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) certified that there was no irregularity in Sergio Ramos' anti-doping controls, in the proceedings of UEFA, in the process of sampling and their subsequent transfer.

In the aforementioned letter it shows that all the controls met the required standards.

Ramos' case suggested that there was confusion regarding the treatment provided.

The Real Madrid doctors informed UEFA at all times of the treatment that Ramos was receiving (dexamethasone), which complies with all the rules.

"UEFA strongly rejects the unfounded accusations that it has concealed positive doping results, and all cases of UEFA doping control are carried out in accordance with the Code of the World Anti-Doping Agency," the letter said.

"All the cases required by the WADA Code have shown that UEFA have provided all the detailed information, expert reports and evidence during the handling of such cases."

Both AMA and FIFA have the right to appeal any decision taken by UEFA on matters of doping control before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

However, neither AMA nor FIFA submitted any such appeal to CAS and AMAitself has officially confirmed that everything was adequately dealt with by UEFA and in accordance with the Code.

The WADA Director General's document found UEFA to have "acted according to the guidelines" after traces of dexamethasone , a substance that is not illegal, were detected in the Ramos sample , although it must be informed of its use. , something that had not been done. The football leaks platform Football Leaks released today through the German weekly Der Spiegel details of the case, after which the medical team of Real Madrid assumed the "responsibility" and UEFA considered valid the response of doctors.

In conclusion don’t tell me what to do, I’ll say whatever the f*ck I want.

 

From what i understand the first case was only "wrong" because the doctor failed the bureaucratic procedure and put the wrong drug in the document. The drug that Ramos used isn't really a PED in the classic meaning of the words, and is allowed to be used 24h before the match day - which is what he did - but the doctor didn't put it in the documentation, an administration error really.

The second case of him showering is where people are suggesting he violated the procedure. But he showered in front of the anti-doping official (LOL) and then took the test. Der Spiegel is claiming that showering may be used to "tamper with the drug test procedure" but since he did it in front of the anti-doping guy, i don't see anything wrong with it.

As usual after winning our 3rd UCL title in a row, the headline is misleading and makes it seem look very bad for us, even i got scared for a moment but after reading it yesterday. Unfortunately there's many people *cough Liverpool fans, Egyptians, Cules, Juve fans, Bayern fans etc *cough (long cough btw) who are not gonna care to read the articles but will instead take it for granted that he's been using PED's. If anything, this article only hurt Der Spiegel's reputation for me.

 

That really says more about these "people" than it does about us.
