Was it even a thing??? Beginning to wonder now? All gone very quite.

kells ... that´s exactly why. To silence those who know, and spread doubt to those who don´t.
Mental lockdown before Covid

Could not agree more, at least I now have a list of names and companies to avoid on fb and you tube and in the tackle shops

Was there ever any comment/condemnation from the Angling Trust or the Carp Society? I haven't seen anything, a bit dissapointing from both organisations if that's the case.

As the biggest open membership carp anglers group in the country I would have expected some comment from them.
Wasn't it alleged that hormones had been used on one of the waters under their control?

Yes it was. Whether the ‘allegations' were true or false the silence from the Anglers Trust, Carp Society and the sponsoring commercial companies was an embarrassing disgrace.

Very embarassing indeed
In this particularly case, the deafening silence heard from those "ruling bodies", CAN definately be construed as evidence of indirect GUILT , not wanting to poke the hornets´ nest

From what I could tell there was no evidence whatsoever that this was going on, just a few anglers jealous of others results and a couple of weird podcasts. I might be wrong but nothing was proved.

The people with the proof refused to publish it out of fear of lawsuits.
It clearly did happen and probably still does. More fool the catch at any cost brigade. Sad bunch.

I'm pretty sure I first heard about dodgy hormones being used in carp Fishing way back in the early 2000's , there was a Carp match at Raduta and some obscure team not known for Carp Fishing expertise completely annihilated all the competition.
Anyone else remember the event? I'm sure it was in all the Mags.

I fished a bcac qualifier and i have never seen anything so obvious. Some very very good anglers were fishing opposite, probably only 20yds away from this spot on open water and couldn't buy a bite yet the winning pair were having 4 takes at the same time for hour after hour
People can say it didn't happen and can threaten people with lawsuits all they like. We know that it was happening. Simple as that
