Ok, so the first two posters weren’t able to answer the question.
Anyone else?
I can answer “yes” to both those questions.
Happy now?
n
1. (General Sporting Terms) the situation in which a sports franchise borrows heavily in order to contract and pay high-performing players, jeopardizing their long-term financial future
2. (General Sporting Terms) the situation in which the owner of a sports franchise invests his or her own personal wealth into securing high-performing players, rather than relying on the revenue the franchise is able to generate for itself
That’s now three posters (the third saying he can, but not giving any explanation).
Is it like when a sprinter's a bit slower than other sprinters, but takes illegal performance enhancing drugs to make him faster than them, then endlessly justifies it by saying "I could afford them"?
I dunno, I've never used the term myself.
At last. Thank you divock
I’m regards to definition 1.
Expand on that especially in relation to jeopardising.
Definition 2,
Provide your own explanation as to why that has ever been regarded as a bad thing, and if it is a negative, negative to whom?

Yet another!!!
If you’ve never used the term Post Nearly Man, then this thread isn’t aimed at you 👍
That said, your example of the definition is incorrect, but interestingly is the one that a lot of people seem to think it means.
Arsene Wenger first used the term when Chelsea won the league in 2005.
Also a regular phrase of Javier Tabas, head of La Liga who likes to use it when state backed, Real Madrid (his team) don't win every trophy in sight.
Three posters have decided to fall back on the “bite” comment. I suspect that those are three posters who are unable to actually answer the question.
I’ve never used the turn “financial doping”.
However I have used the terms “Sportswashing “ and “human rights abuse “

What do you think those two terms mean?
Human Rights abuse always makes me laugh, especially from fans of American owned clubs.
HRW are very scathing in their report on the USA.

It’s a simple question.
One person has replied by giving a copy and paste answer.
The rest have replied by deciding not to answer at all

But you’re living under the misconception that anybody has to justify themselves to the likes of a City fan.
Epic fail, son.

…or just refused to bite.
It’s incredibly simple.
Either you choose to answer the simple question asked…
Or you choose to respond by having a dig.
The digs mean nothing to me.
An answer to the question does.
Of you don't want a copy and paste answer, then financial doping is money injected into a club that is above their actual means/revenue thus creating, if not an unlevel playing field, then a playing field above their actual means.
Its not a term I use, couldn't really care less I just enjoy the football, but that's what it means.
I'm City's terms, there's both suspicion and accusation of it, I don't know how thorough the investigation into it was, but so far they're cleared (although the background chatter still sounds like the sponsorship deals were suspect by injecting more money in than the worth of those sponsors)
Heard less of the term surrounding Chelsea at the time of tje Abramovich takeover, but now they're also seemingly lumped into the same category but their finances seem a lot more clear cut.
Alas, that's my understanding 👍
I'm guessing that the person who came up with the phrase, sandy, has filtered you, otherwise you'd have just responded to one of his articles to ask him.
