This is WWE pure and simple.Singer01 said:A match going to 5 all in the 5th set isnt remarkable or evidence of anything.buckle said:I love this forum and how nobody could be bothered to post about the farce taking place at Wimbledon as I write. It's 5-5 in the final set and who gives a ***?
Of course. Probably 95% of people believe that. The anti Sharapova attitude is rather annoying (because of where that comes from). It would be better if they were more anti her for her generally pouty attitude.Forever The Best said:There are still people believing that the likes of Serena, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Sharapova etc. are clean.
Some people go as far as saying Serena is a hero and saviour of sport because Sharapova cheats yet can't beat Williams. And then they bring examples of Bolt, Phelps and co. saying that they are other heroes and saviours of sports
They used to add Armstrong to those exclusive saviours and heroes of sports list as well till 2012.![]()
Think it's certainly possible. I don't believe for a second Nadal or Fed would ever test positive AND have that positive be announced.scapewalker said:With the big 3 continuing their dominance and still outperformaning the next gen by a mile do you guys reckon they are on more stuff especially because the get more leeway when it comes to testing?
Admittedly very little goes through the minds of 99.8% of the population. I mean Friends is still the biggest show on television.gregrowlerson said:Actually 99.8% of people would assume that Federer was as clean as a whistle. To think otherwise just wouldn't even enter their minds.
I agree - I'm pretty sure a big majority of them take medicine (for asthma at the very least), and depending on the doctors they are using they can build up quite a large arsenal of drugs. At the same time, there are undoubtedly things going on between the teams and the organisations (nationally and internationally) about how to avoid doping scandals. As long as the leading organisations of the sport itself play a major role in controlling medicine use among the riders, there is always a high risk of corruption.DanielSong39 said:Well the confounding factor is that so much stuff is allowed, you can be a walking pharmacy and be doped to the eyeballs and still be "legal".
Obviously they're all juiced, the real question is what kind of stuff is allowed.
Corporations lobby the sporting federations plus we have the impact of the TV companies putting their own poison in. The 2006 calciopoli scandal in Italy which was not drug related (although Italian soccer was riddled with drug abuse) revealed the operating model of contemporary corruption.Danskebjerge said:I agree - I'm pretty sure a big majority of them take medicine (for asthma at the very least), and depending on the doctors they are using they can build up quite a large arsenal of drugs.

Fairly small fry, Beatriz Haddad Maia - a Brazilian player ranked 99 in the world with a career high of #58.
Unsure what to make of it, she's ranked low enough that doping testing is probably not even a monthly occurrence for her.
Serena twits in the third person?
