THE Pikov Scuminov manager says his rivals must have ‘all been on drugs’ after going 10 points clear at the top of the Dmitri Kharine World Cup table this week.
Bidding remotely from the US, the Scuminov boss only signed a handful of players at the auction last month including Antoine Greizmann for £28m and Timo Werner for £32m.
He picked up leftovers after the event, such as the unsigned defender Miranda, for £0.5m.
“You guys must have all been on drugs for no-one to have bid for the Brazil captain or gone above £5m for Diego Godin,” said the Pikov Scuminov manager.
Whether Kharine managers were on drugs or not at the auction is still being investigated by the World Anti Doping Agency after several urine samples tested positive for banned substances.
Kharine managers are pleading their innocence but Wada says managerial decision making at the auction is building a strong case against them.
“The Test Team (Please Ignore) manager signed a back three of Medhi Benatia, Kalidou Koulibaly and Nikola Milenkovic,” begins a leaked extract from the damning Wada report.
“The Lokomotiv Leeds manager spent £26m on strikers from Saudi Arabia and South Korea.
“The Breivik Babes manager signed Mauro Icardi. He wasn’t even named in the Argentina squad.
“Fat Ladies started the tournament with tennis player Maria Sharapova in attack.
“How can we draw any other conclusion than these people were out of their tiny little minds?”
A source at Kenna HQ refuted the allegations.
“Has Wada never been to a Kenna auction before? These managers weren’t doping, they’ve just always been a bit slow.”
