Mild mannered Mark Coughlan becomes Super Cogs
------------------------------
The Age reported yesterday that Manly was considering using Actovegin to help boost the endurance of players in the lead up to the finals, but has since been told that some players have been injected with the calves' blood extract over the past two years to assist with the recovery of injuries.
Geelong team doctor Chris Bradshaw, who used his English Premier League connections to arrange for Rooke to visit Muller-Wohlfarth's Munich clinic, yesterday acknowledged that Actovegin may assist with increasing stamina — although he did not have any evidence that it enhanced performance.
Dr Bradshaw insisted the Cats did not use it for that purpose, but said he was aware of rumours that some rival clubs may be.
