It was always going to happen...

Looks like the steroids are taking their toll.

Could he be on a quicker decline than Rooney?

As for all of them being on it - Many sportsmen (including Ronaldo lol and i love him!) are and football is no exception. The doctors who work on masking these things are highly capable that's all. Also so much money is made from football that they all have a gentleman's agreement to shut up about it (testers included).

WHAT UTTER RUBBISH

drugs is rife in sport and there are different ways used to cover it up

Some other techniques that are used are suspect but ways are found around it, thsi includes a blood transfusion type technique to help players recover. Chelsea were using this at one point

Also have you ever wondered why some players get moved on? lets take Rafa and nani as examples (and it is just examples here from my own club) for all we know nani had a coke habit and got sold (not suggesting he did at all)

Its not just sport either. You look at the world leaders today and do you think they get by without any ''help'' or ''vitamin shots''?

WHAT UTTER RUBBISH

I may have been just giving an example with the agreement part, im sure it's more complicated than that. What is UTTER RUBBISH Strety is for anyone to believe that of the thousands of professional football players, noone takes PEDs. I'd like to believe there arent but that's akin to believing all humans are great. Even in football alone we have wife beaters, thieves, fraudsters, addicts, alcoholics, people who've committed assult, battery, bribery (enough about John Terry haha, thats a joke okay Chelsea Fans)....etc. So is so much of a stretch to think there are some who take steroids?

You cannot know that for sure fella. The same way I cant know he is. Lance Armstrong said he wasnt and for years noone ever caught him. It only really came crumbling down when his former teammates started touting.

Renal Colic (kidney stones) is one of the most painful afflictions from which you can suffer. I've had several episodes over the last twenty five years, so I speak from experience.
The stone(s) are caused by a build up of calcium or uric acid crystals in the kidney, and the cause is usually genetic, diet or insufficient intake of liquids.
Whilst the stones are building up in the kidney there are few if any symptoms; maybe blood in the urine, or a little backache in the kidney region.
Problems start when the stone leaves the kidney and stars to pass down the ureter. This is a very narrow tube, not designed for passing hard, irregular shaped solids. The pain is excruciating, comes in waves, and can last for days. I've been told the agony is only second to giving birth (I've no experience of that one!) With luck, in time, and lots of fluids, the stone will be washed out. However, it can get stuck.
This used to mean an operation, but nowadays the preferred method of removal seems to be via an instrument inserted through the most appropriate orifice. You don't want me to go into detail, here.
Whatever, if you show symptoms of kidney stones, doctors , as part of the diagnosis, like to carry out a cystoscopy, to check for bladder cancer, etc. This involves passing a TV camera up the same orifice
Now that everyone has their legs crossed, I'll just add that I've never heard of renal colic being caused by steroid use, though it could be, of course, but, nonetheless, I have real sympathy for Messi. It should stop him running around for a bit!
