 3. Edgar Davids

Edgar Davids, the popular Dutch footballer who was tough, tireless and technically tremendous couldn’t escape the nandrolone hype back in the early 2000s.

Davids tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone in 2001 at the time he was playing for Juventus and faced a two-year ban. But ultimately got away with only four months on the sidelines. He later played for Barcelona, Inter Milan, Tottenham, Ajax and Crystal Palace. In 2012, he was appointed player-manager at the English League Two club, Barnet. He resigned by mutual agreement as manager in January 2014.
