Maybe now Serena can get all the endorsements that this perennial 2nd place finisher received
A two-year suspension seems excessive, given the specific facts of the case.
From the story:
five-time Grand Slam champion
Oh, Maris got suspended too?
You think she and many others aren’t doping, too?
Five-time Grand Slam champion…that’s cute, now let me teach you about this American champion that Madison Ave ignored in favor of the "Five-time Grand Slam Champion:
Pretty obvious Serena is doping too. Most people have blinders on when it comes to steroids until they catch the player red handed (or they confess). People ignored the obvious with Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa, because they preferred fantasy over the truth.
Is that Trump’s next ex-wife?
pretty obvious? do tell…
The typo in the title bugs me. Anwyays, two years ban sounds about right.
-
She didn’t disclose mildronate from 2014 to 2016 on the medications/supplements list.
-
She stopped seeing the doctor who initially told her to take the medication in Moscow in 2012.
-
She somehow continued to get the medication despite it being banned in her official country of residence.
-
The directions on how to take it clearly was to enhance performance.
-
Of the documentation she did sign, she didn’t disclose mildronate as one of them.
-
She used mildronate 5 times in 6 days at Wimbledon in 2015, and at the AO 2016 5 times out of 7 days.
Sharapova admitted to taking the banned drug after each of her FIVE matches at the Australian Open this year. The drug isn’t to address any of her medical issues, she used it as a PED - like many other Russian athletes do. The substance is banned here in the US, where Sharapova lives, as well as the EU. Case closed.
It’s plainly obvious she used the drug as a PED.
Well, she IS white and foreign… so she’s got two steps into the deal.
How is it obvious?.. Oh, you’ve reading Alex Jones, haven’t you?
Trump would never hook up with a woman that could buy him three times over.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Drugs or no drugs, the nature of marketing remains unchanged. Maria Sharapova remains an attractive blonde, and they sell lots of widgets.
I thought Sara Palin was auditioning for Mrs. Rump IV. She lives close enough to Russia for him.
