Sorry if this has been mentioned in other threads but I never knew this about Roger the GOAT.
In Switzerland there is compulsory military service for all able bodied males who have reached the "age of majority" (i.e., no longer considered a minor). And yet Roger Federer who for so many years has gracefully flown around tennis courts like a winged angel and whose smooooth style was the reason many cited as why he was never really injured during his career nevertheless got out of having to serve his country by virtue of a "bad back?" Amazing, I never knew this before. It makes it all the more shocking then to read the amount of (fed)fanboy crap leveled at Nadal about Rafa's alleged cheating by stating it as if it were fact. But in the case of Roger the Dodger, it IS fact, it IS a matter of record. Federer got out of serving his country by claiming a bad back.
Anyway, the good news is that while those who do not (for whatever reason) fulfill thier obligation to their country have to pay an additional 3% annual income tax, they no longer have to do so once they (Federer) reach 30 years of age. So Roger's now off the hook tax-wise from here on and anyway, as rich as he was/is, he could've easily paid the additional 3%. But now the goldbricker's off the hook.
