I constructed nothing.
Now answer my simple question - WHY hasn't he come out before saying, "yes, I doped because WADA allowed that to help my wounds..." or something along these lines...

You keep constructing false stories!

It was a BIG issue when Serena was using ibuprofen but not that Nadal has been caught using steroids, suddenly all the haters are singing a different tune. Funny how that works :rolleyes:

I'm usually the last person to defend Nadal but Serena was not using ibuprofen but a corticosteroid which, from what I have read, is just a very strong anti-inflammatory agent and not a muscle builder. Pretty sure Rafa's was similar, no? And Rafa's TUEs (the two we've seen) were issued before he used the drug for a total of 8 days.
 
These Russian crybabies and their brainwashed or paid cronies will never admit that they are wrong. It's always someone else's fault, the whole world is against them, etc, etc.

I wonder if they really can't understand that they are bringing all of this to themselves or is it that they are so far along the road of lies, propaganda and (possibly even self-)deception that there is no turning back.

And mind you, I believe that there are dopers in probably every country, it's just that the only known example of a full blown, all-encompassing, state-run doping operation after the Soviet block collapsed is in - surprise surprise - Russia.

I still don't see how getting a retroactive TUE isn't doping when the TUE hadn't yet been granted at the time the player took the med. Whether it's a couple of days or a few weeks, it's the same. Athletes should have to wait until the TUE is signed before taking the drug. Otherwise it's still doping, And as someone already asked who are the doctors prescribing these banned substances and is anyone checking to make sure the athlete actually needs the drug? I'm sceptical. I think they (Stuart Miller) is just rubber stamping whatever comes across his desk.

It's not funny that you are producing false stories! Rafa got TUEs (short term permissions) autorized by ITF to use some substances intramuscularly.

It still doesn't change the fact that both Nadal and Serena (and probably every other top player) took practically the same medication via a legal route yet Serena was heavily berated by the same people now defending Nadal, and the rest have just gone quiet, it's double standards.
