The Persecution of Maria Sharapova

I agree with you.

The onus on any professional sportsperson is to maximise their potential by whatever legal means possible. That is all she did, technically.

I do think she should receive a ban for failing the latest dope test, however  Them's the rules.  But the ban should be for as short a time as possible.

Agreed.

And whatever the beautiful Maria was taking, they should be shovelling it into the Williams Brothers by the spade load.

I'd shovel meself into Serena. 

In theory Sharapova is beautiful, (Tall, blonde, in shape and a willing grunter,) but somehow I find her rather plain looking and lacking sex appeal.

Ozy.......you are one sick puppy

There is a young Bulgarian who faced both of them,a man of differing tastes.

The young Bulgarian has also 'faced' the delectable Nicole Scherzinger.

The curve is definitely up,what next for our young buck Billie Jean King,Shirley Bassey.

i was of the opinion that she had innocently taken  it etc  as stated above,but i read this morning that its been the "drug of choice" for years for russian sports people..it increases endurance capabilities.very popular in ethiopia amongst marathon runners also...as for the williams brothers i feel ozy and callit have a fantasy of 4 in a bed with them!!

Ah she is a cheat no doubt.  I would say the vast majority in the sport are rotten with Drugs.

As for Serena id say she would destroy anyone in the sack.  Would love to smash my balls off her.

Something like 25% of russian athletes tested had it in there system where the rest of the world was 2% tells you all you need to know really. This drug wasn't been used as a treatment for a heart condition. Maria never ever stated problems with her heart. It's a performance enhancing drug which was rightly banned. While she only took it for a while when it was banned it makes really no difference. She took it while it was banned. She deserves some sort of ban but make no mistake while this medicine was legal athletes where using it for endurance enhancement.

Chemist's are always ahead of the tester's and are always looking for ways to help athlete's. Epo was only discovered by a whistle blower sending a sample to a lab. Tennis only started doing proper blood testing last year. I think up until 2013 Novak had only had one blood test in his life. Like other sports they don't really want to find the cheats as it damages the sport. Tennis is massive on endurance and their is no way given all the positive tests in cycling and athletics that their should have so little positive tests. They are not looking hard enough.

always knew that Sharapova had a cute angina

A ban is the most likely Scenario, gives Maria more time with her  young Bulgarian, may even ask  Navratilova to spice things up , on the other hand Maybe not.

the thoughts and possible scenarios of the forumites are in overdrive today i see...tut tut lads   concentrate on chelters!!

If my life was at stake and I had to say if Jokerfish or Nodull were doughpers
I would say yes.

Define 'dopers'.

doper= drug cheat.

Define drug 'cheat'.

Do you mean someone who takes illegal performance enhancing drugs?

OR

Do you mean someone who takes non-prohibited performance enhancing drugs?

OR

Both, i.e no distinction between the two.

Fairly decent article on her here in the WSJ, smashes into the wildclown claim i feel. Have a read.
