Former midfielder retracts after making accusation
Daniel Carvalho has apologized and retracted allegations that he had to take anabolic steroids while playing for CSKA Moscow.
The former CSKA Moscow midfielder told he was given anabolic steroids to improve his physical condition because he was “too skinny” when he arrived at the Russian club in 2003.
From Greenwichtime.com:
Hours later, after his interview made headlines across the world, Carvalho released a statement through Palmeiras saying he didn’t know if the substance in the injections he received was actually steroids.
“I don’t know if it was an anabolic steroid, I don’t have the medical knowledge to know that,” he said. “If it was, it’s something that happened 10 years ago and it’s in the past. If it wasn’t, I apologize to the Russians for the badly used words.”
“I took the same food supplements that all other athletes took regularly,” he said. “Nobody was forced to take anything.”
