Al Jazeera as a source
Sure there's probably some valid points but am I really gonna sit here and watch an Arab government owned news outlet talk about mainstream American sports?

Al Jazeera is not the source. You should watch it and judge for yourself.

The doctor from Yaletown in the doc has been suspended from his job.

But Al Jazeera is the primary driver of this investigation.
So essentially...they're the source of the accusation. That's what I meant.


There's some serious allegations in it but the top youtube comment captures it pretty nicely.
I'd take whatever I see from Al Jazeera with a grain of salt though. I'd like to see some more takes from other, more sports-oriented and sports-credible sources, at the very least i'd like it to be from legitimate non-Arab money funded sources.

The half-baked conspiracy tard in me says this is some sort of mud slinging from those oil Sheiks in Qatar in return for Americans ruining their football bribing schemes. You ruin our football money machine, we'll ruin yours!

:lawl:

The suspension is a no-brainer. When an accusation of this magnitude is thrown along with some big names you'd cut your losses without hesitation too.
