Just pondering this on the way to work after all the drama surrounding the IAAF and the athletics doping issues.
Does doping help a footballer in many ways or is it less about physical performance and more about the skill of the individual?
As Russia 2018 is coming up and they have since been slammed for a culture of doping would it shine a light on similar situations with footballers?

Drugs can have various positive (and negative) effects, so the right player on the 'right' drugs can definitely improve.
A fullback could massively benefit from certain drugs like EPO, to help improve their ability to shuttle up and down the pitch for an entire game. Drugs don't even neccessarily have to be physically performance enhancing. Stuff like Modnafil or even basic caffeine can improve mental response while fatigued.
