[quote=JayP;2369842]The best part of the article:

So basically they're insinuating that Canada somehow took PEDs after they beat Germany and that those same PEDs effects wore off with-in 48 hours time to squeek by Slovakia.

You don't need much understanding of how PEDs and steroids work to realize how ridiculous that accusation is.

The funniest thing in all of this is that Canada could've taken as many PEDs as they wanted before they played Russia and it would have an no effect on the game. The reason athletes use PEDs is that it makes workouts much more effective and the recovery time from said workouts much quicker. It doesn't make players immediately stronger or faster.[/quote]

Although this article is total garbage, the highlighted part isn't true. There are plenty of banned drugs that can be used to increase short term performance, PEDs are not exclusively longer term muscle building drugs. Why do you think stimulants like ephedrine are on the banned substance list?
