Rafael Nadal is seeking 100,000 euros ($118,000) in damages from former French sports minister Roselyne Bachelot after she accused the Spanish tennis legend of a dope test cover-up.
Nadal is suing Bachelot, who served as sports minister between 2007 and 2010, over remarks in March 2016 on French television. She alleged that Nadal faked an injury in 2012, when he missed the final six months of the season due to knee problems, in order to hide a positive drug test. |

The 16-time Grand Slam winner has never failed a drugs test and vehemently denies ever using a banned substance.
After Bachelot's accusation, Nadal explained last year why he was taking legal action against her. "I am tired about these things. I let it go a few times in the past. No more." He added that he expected better of a person who was "minister of a big country and a great country like France". "If somebody like her, who should be serious, can say this stupid stuff then now is the moment to say, 'OK, from now everybody who is going to speak of this kind of stuff with no proof then I'm going to do the same and take legal action against that person.' "I know how much I did to be where I am, and I know 100 percent my values." A verdict is expected on November 16. https://sports.ndtv.com/tennis/rafael-nadal-sues-ex-french-minister-for-100-000-euros-1762849 . |

![]() How are you WW? |
|
By:
if so, you should just avoid cricket betting. it's a waste of time anyhow.
|
|
By:
Yes I think I did but I got fed up with betting and the forum so gave it a rest. I still have no funds in my account but will pop in from time to time, as you say, particularly on the darts forum.
|
|
By:
Agreed. football and darts I used to do all right on, bugger the rest
|
|
By:
tennis, football, darts & NFL are fine. NBA is OK on a few one-off games.
|
|
By:
boxing & UFC ok also. I don't like cricket and avoid it like the plague.
|
|
By:
I'll just stick to football and darts for small stakes for now.

Nice, you use a straight razor, mes?
|
|
By:
like a barber does
|
|
By:
a safety razor is not to be confused with a cartridge razor btw, but a real man like you probably knows that.
|
|
By:
Next time I see my personal groomer I'll ask her what she uses.
|
|
By:
oh wait, I use a cartridge razor.

By:

By:
Would rather Blind played though Wisewords, Shaw was never playing today given he hasn't played once but Darmian is just so negative, and isn't even good defensively so I don't get it.
Ie. all Liverpool's danger so far has been due to Darmian mistakes anyway. |
|
By:
Need Liverpool to gift us a goal, should be due soon tbf.
|
|
By:
He picks Darmian over Blind because of his height? But he's not that much bigger than Blind.
