ITF Suspends Last 12 Months of Odesnik's Doping Ban

That incident proves nothing conclusively but it tells me what kind of man Roddick is.

Agreeeed! Roddick is always mouthing off about dopers, same as Querrey. Some cynics will say "he who shouts the loudest..." but you know what, it's ok to have a bit of faith in people :shock:

Nice to know it's ok to have a bit of faith.
I suppose there's the slight chance he may just be an honourable man who detests cheating in his chosen sport/profession.
Wouldn't that be a turn up for the books as they say.

Reading this thread makes my love for tennis somehow diminishes. It makes me think that to be a top tennis player, to be famous, to have tons of trophies, IS NOT everything. Not to cheat is the main thing. This doping ban suspension case will just tease other players to use HGH... they'll think why not, i'll be another whistleblower and I'll get ban suspension too.

In my opinion, all dopers should be banned for life. That's if, ITF wants tennis to be really clean.

If it's true that some authority is covering up doping cases, then why don't they just legalize doping... just like they legalize marijuana in some countries...

You are right -- dopers should be banned for life but I'm afraid ITF is silently legalizing it i.e. turning a blind eye. They don't want a big scandal so even if some of the top players were caught, I would guess they'd keep it quiet.

Nice to know what he's doing so we can keep an eye on him.
