Not quite the entire team, but 13 members of a Cypress soccer (football) team will be facing doping charges based on anabolic steroid use. The team's coach and trainers are included in the number to face allegations of doping. To USA Today:
Thirteen football players and officials at Cypriot 1st Division side APOP Kyniras face disciplinary action for alleged steroid violations, an official said Thursday.
Anti-Doping Committee member Michael Petrou said all 13 -- including five players and the manager -- face a maximum four-year ban.
He said the Cyprus Football Association decided to summon all 13 to a disciplinary committee after a probe found they allegedly breached domestic and international anti-doping rules.
"The fact that 13 athletes and officials from the same team will face a disciplinary committee on doping allegations is unprecedented for Cyprus," Petrou said.
The group also includes Bulgarian manager Eduard Eranossian's two assistants and two physiotherapists. The CFA identified the players as Angelos Efthymiou of Cyprus, Yiannis Sfakianakis of Greece, Dmytro Mykhailenko of Ukraine, Samir Bengeloun of France and Bernardo Vasconcelos of Portugal.
APOP Kyniras, from the western resort village of Peyia, is 6th in the standings.
Even though the team doped, they are currently in 6th place. Priceless...
Two APOP players initially tested positive for the banned steroids oxymesterone and methyl-testosterone in November, prompting the CFA to investigate doping within the team.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! What an amazing team! I am sure that it could not have been an easy job to decide but I would say that you ladies did a FABULOUS job! An extra special Congrats to my girl Janine Wahl! I am soooo happy for you!

John Fahey, the president of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that Roche planted a molecule in its red-cell boosting product CERA, or Continuous Erythropoietin Receptor Activator, during its manufacture to help anti-doping authorities detect its illegal use. Roche sells the drug as Mircera.
