Was any of this due to some particular personalities? Beckenbauer for reasons already noted? Some glamour boy on Gladbach (note this is before my football time, mostly)? Or some general dislike of Bayern within Germany (this was after all the Franz Joseph Strauss time)? : What's more important is the fact, that the opinion leader in German : BL football back then was clearly the Sportschau (Sports TV at : saturday 18:00). And the Sportschau was based in the West: K�ln, : Gladbach et.al. were the media darlings, while Bayern was simply : from the wrong region of Germany (don't forget the everlasting : quarrel inside ARD, between leftist WDR and stone-conservative BR). That too, but if the main opinion would have been Koeln then Gladbach would not be darlings :-) -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

He didn't run to the banks. He was among the mob who appropriated Soviet public wealth via connections in the Nomenklatura. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

What do you have to back that theory up? : The method to find EPO wasn't implemented until right after that EC. : Unfortunately. But what's your evidence that they doped? All they did was show more heart. All the more unusual since Greek teams are often the opposite. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/
