Anyone else have an eerie feeling there will be a tennis doping scandal unveiled?

I love how Naive people are in America too. They are so heartbroken and amazed Lance could possibly have been doping.. You dont win that many Tour De France titles without some boost. IMPOSSIBLE. They should have been looking to slam him years ago during the fact.. Not 10 years after the fact

Yes to all of this. Players micro does EPO all the time so that they get the full benefit of it while clearing the sytem quickly. The testing in tennis is so easy to get around that they may as well not test at all. Cvac has not had a blood test from WADA for 7 whole months, yet he is someone they should be watching like a hawk and testing like crazy due to his very suspicious increase in performance. He is also against the biological passport which would make it harder for him to blood dope.

Exactly.. Nole is out there playing 6 hour grind fests like its a 30 minute hit around. They need to be catching these guys right then and there.. Not for this stuff to leak out 20 years after the fact. Those testers should be standing right in the back as Nole comes through the curtain ready to show after the match with their little piss cup in hand.

Where does common sense enter into all this? Theres too many of these guys on stuff today in all sports.. They need to get rid of it and hand out extremely harsh consequences for it..

The authorities should do a better job if they insist on these anti-doping rules. Same with Lance Armstrong. He's been stripped all of his titles and what happens if the guy who inherits them now is found out to be a doper too, say, five years from now? Are they going to continue with the circus forever?

All this doping scandals reveal is that the authorities are doing a pretty bad job, whether it was intentional or due to negligence. Nobody ever talks about that.

What kind of logic is that? Can murderers go free just because they got convicted 10 years later? I don't think anyone's doping but that logic is weird.

Totally agree. Any players with any suspicious performances or increases in stamina should immediately be tested both blood and urine. Right then and there after the match no questions asked.

How about Djokovic 2012 Australian Open? What he did was not humanly possible. Just ask Lance Armstrong.

Lance Armstrong and others on the US Postal cycling team would regularly fly to Spain to receive doping because the Spanish doctors are the world experts at doping. It would be hard to believe that Spanish players like Ferrer and Nadal, who can seemingly run forever, are not also "treated" by Spanish doctors.

I say YES to all PED's in professional sports. Come on, guys - we are the spectators. It only benefits us if we get 400lbs, 5 % bodyfat steroided freaks crashing into each other at 40mph each way in the NFL.

Or tennis players serving at 170mph, average. Or boxers beoming so powerful they literally smash each others' brains out.

We are not participating - we are watching. And PEDs can only make things more extreme, more brutal, more exciting. Fvck the long-term health of the athletes - that ain't my concern - and it's not yours either. I can't understand why spectators are so against this stuff.

It's not fair to those who are following the rules and not doping.

Also, doping isn't equal. The richest and most successful players would have access to the best doctor and doping programs, creating an even bigger gap.

17 slams stripped is going to hurt, not to mention that wilson and nike will want all the money back.

There ya go .. Sampras the last great champion of the non dopers

More reasons why Sampras and Laver and Pancho are the ultimate GOATs. Dope free GOATs baby

Sampras, Nadal, and Safin are definitely clean. Djokovic Murray I hope they are clean and my heart tells me they are clean.

[Bartelby]

Simon and Monfils are either clean or need better doctors as they were completely exhausted half way through their match.

You keep saying that Nadal has 17 Slams when he actually only has 11 (unless you mean Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray COMBINED). Besides, Nadal is sponsored by Babolat, not Wilson.

When, in your delusional universe, did I ever (let alone repeatedly) state that Nadal had 17 slams or was sponsored by Wilson? You are really sliding into the deep end these days, aren't you...

[SwankPeRFection]

Damn, now even Murray's in on it. lol

Why didn't someone tell me all I had to do was add some cocaine and Visine to my energy drink to make tennis PEDs?!

Completely unrelated to the topic of this thread, but here are a few players I like:
Djoko, Murray, Ferrer, Serena, Sloane Stephens, etc...

Not sure if this the complete list, but here is the list (from wiki) of tennis athletes involved in drugs (PED or RD)...
I was surprised with some of the names on this list

Well now that's not suspicious at all

Imagine what a doping scandal would do to the sport. Nike and the other high profile sponsors wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
