I'm NOT trying to get into a big discussion about anyone's body... but are the Ozempic type drugs legal for tour players to use?
Shnaider seems to have trimmed down significantly, and while I know it could be down to the old "hard work and diet," I'm just wondering if some players will turn to this.

With Mboko winning please

Meh, after a walk over and a first round win against a lucky looser that Jaqueline had actually beaten in the quallies?
That just shows that tennis is a sport of errors and who runs more/is fresher comes on top, by just retrieving the ball....

Jovic, Mboko and Andreeva all in finals before the AO.
Exciting times in women's tennis.

What a fantastic final this proposes to be. Barracking for Mboko 100000%.

Mirra didn't do anything to level to 3-3. Mboko spraying.

Currently not prohibited; however, they are part of the WADA monitoring program (“Markers of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide”) so they’re currently being studied — real world use and data collection. Semaglutide (found in Ozempic) has been in the monitoring program since 2024. Tirzepatide was included in 2026.

They must have been seeing from lab reports a significant uptake in these markers. Combine that with elite athletes not being the intended population for these GLP-1 drugs and that they may improve athletic performance and they go on the monitoring list to gather more data. It doesn’t mean they’ll eventually be banned it means WADA needs more info. However, if they are banned it seems a stretch for an athlete to get a TUE since a reasonable alternative exists. Stop slamming down burgers.

Yeah, it's something interesting to keep an eye on for sure.They must have been seeing from lab reports a significant uptake in these markers. Combine that with elite athletes not being the intended population for these GLP-1 drugs and that they may improve athletic performance and they go on the monitoring list to gather more data.

As for the last part of your comment, don't be so sure! Cycling is a sport that is somehow packed with guys that have asthma, and so they need a TUE for drugs that help them breathe better. No joke... you can't make this stuff up!
Anyway, here in the US the use of that stuff seems pretty rampant in some parts, with people telling me that their friends are taking it just to slim down an extra 5-10 lbs, which is crazy.
