LA used EPO which is an anabolic steriod.Isn't that what LA had used? Johnny Mac did too, but there was no testing then.

Same two years where she didn't have a single ooc test?Not to mention those leaks also give dates of TUE's from 2010 and 2011...the period after serena got her PE
He was given a corticosteroid for saddle sores.LA used EPO which is an anabolic steriod.
I'm glad you recovered. Shingles sounds terrible from what I've heard.
I wonder if she will release medical records. I would love to have medical excuses to explain away most of 2014.
Where is it shown that she didn't have ooc testSame two years where she didn't have a single ooc test?
He used more than that. See the post I just made regarding his backdated tue for corticoids.LA used EPO which is an anabolic steriod.
ITF anti doping reportsWhere is it shown that she didn't have ooc test
And most other players that year weren't tested ooc...most aren't even tested now.ITF anti doping reports
I agree it's a joke that some aren't tested when others get loads. However Serena still didn't have a ooc in 2010 when she won two slams.And most other players that year weren't tested ooc...most aren't even tested now.
Serema was out post wimby due to her Pulmonary embolism and her recovery process which lasted till wimby 2011. Iff she wasn't tested ooc thats the ITFs fault not serena's. In 2015 she was tested over 7 times.
I'm going to assume it is similar to USADA. If you have a medical reason to take certain drug you alert USADA and then they review your request. I imagine this is the same deal with WADA.Maybe the 'proper procedures' are corrupt. And why do some people get exemptions and others not. Not sure if that is fair.
Pova didn't need to get a TUE as it wasn't banned prior to 2016. Well thats what i assume anyway since meldonium wasn't on the banned list.I'm going to assume it is similar to USADA.

If you're referring to Sharapova ("some people") she should've when through the proper channels.
She should have been more professional, obviously.Pova didn't need to get a TUE as it wasn't banned prior to 2016. Well thats what i assume anyway since meldonium wasn't on the banned list.
Oh obviously...but the fact that she hid meldonium from questionnaires about any previous medication that she was taking or she wasn't prescribed to it post 2014 and still took it were massive red flagsShe should have been more professional, obviously.
It seems though that Serena followed the rules to the letter in this exemption, anyway.Oh obviously...but the fact that she hid meldonium from questionnaires about any previous medication that she was taking or she wasn't prescribed to it post 2014 and still took it were massive red flags
Nothing big so far. she probably does juice but this was approved by the wada. Anyway im sure every top athlete is on something. Its impossible to think gatorade and some protein powder is all you need to compete at a top level
What about oxygen tanksI agree, clean sport is an oxymoron. Every athlete has to be on something, it is unrealistic to play sports without enhancements. Even clean herbal products are considered enhancements.
Why the secrecy behind it all.

Sorry i meant PED...Epo is a growth factor, not a steroid. Just setting your science straight.
So... remember Serena's weird little incident during Wimbledon doubles? 2014.

When she was caught, Sharapova was taking Meldonium without a doctor prescribing it, without her declaring her use of it and without any ability to demonstrate a medical need for it.So they are allowed to take things on the banned list but sharapova isnt? Why?
I've long questioned why undisclosed therapeutic use exemptions exist. There is a point at which you are infringing upon an athlete's privacy, but their usage (however warranted) directly affects their competition. I cannot see the reason why all TUEs are not disclosed upon being given. It would certainly be one right step in an anti-doping process that is opaque and shrouded in secrecy.
Well someone obviously forgot to tell sharapovaWhen you get into the big figures, cheating is expected. Way of life.
Hell, how many times did goverments poison people for "greater good" and these are individuals that stand to make millions.
I've stopped caring.
Lol and fed wouldn't be?Anyone who is inside pro tennis knows the sport is not clean. Those who believe Serena and Nadal are/were clean are either naive or refuse to believe facts.
Please don't confuse us with facts and logic.Interesting the Western media are calling it a 'Russian hack' and are ignoring the fact that an Olympic gold medallist in Rio failed a drug test and it was covered up. If it was the other way around, the U.S. hackers would be celebrated as whistleblowers and the evil Russians investigated.
You mean black Americans are protected while white Russians are persecuted for the same act?It looks like a racial attack to me.
Yeah the white basketball player they included was a disgrace. Racist to whites trying to imply they all dope!It looks like a racial attack to me.
I was always sure about one sister. Still have doubts about Venus though. I hope these Russians do find some time hacking WADA data related to Men's field. I'm absolutely sure about one man(?).
Me too.
Does @vive le beau jeu ! support the team hackers for this task btw?
That phrase alone is grounds for suspicion.Yeah the white basketball player they included was a disgrace. Racist to whites trying to imply they all dope!
But it's not cheating that's the entire point...
Read the word 'approval'
Did she say she has done nothing wrong but can't speak for her sister?Venus just released a statement on this
