5. Jaap Stam
It was in 2001 when the former Manchester United defender was tested positive for steroid nandrolone and was given a 5 months ban though following some appeals, his ban was reduced to just one month and he went on to have the best of his football career as before way back in the late 1990s when the Dutch player Jaap Stam was widely regarded as one of the best defenders and rightly i was because he was strong, quick and a technically gifted defender.
