DD1903 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Nadal is 32 y/o, but he's just destroyed three of the best young players in the world, Tsitsipas, Tiafoe and De Minaur... making them look like juniors. I like to think it's entirely innocent. I just think Nadal and Djokovic are so unbelievably good! I don't think we'll see there likes again... not for a long time. If they were juicing they'd have been busted - no doubt.Aye, and the reason(s) federer hit some brilliant form in his mid 30s, after a few barren years, was extra training... Mini (I think) has posted a couple of links in this thread about it all. Have a read Link to comment
DD1903 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Nadal could barely move last week then he's running rings around a young athlete, totally legit, there's so much stuff out there that points towards him cheating, he's definitely not the only one but to have the injuries and breakdowns he's had and still be performing like this isn't quite right.My favourite was his cramping up during his interview move. Top class Are his injuries just convenient breaks to let 'things' work it's way out his system? Link to comment
boboisared Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Was always a bit suspicious that Murray made noises about other pros potentially being on peds and Boris Becker instantly jumped in insisting all of the top players are clean. Anyone like to hazard a guess who he was coaching at the time? Link to comment
minijc Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 My favourite was his cramping up during his interview move. Top class Are his injuries just convenient breaks to let 'things' work it's way out his system?You look at Murray a player who I think is 100% clean and how injuries are ripping him apart, there are some out there that think he has cycled once or twice during lay offs but not much out there to suggest that. Where as with Nadal there's so much different things that suggest he has doped, he's had several TUE some given after he's already received the treatments, it just stinks. Can't remember the links I've posted before, possibly a tennishasasteroidproblem one http://tennishasasteroidproblem.blogspot.com/2016/09/nadal-then-and-now.html Link to comment
jamiesd Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Anyone remember that massive Spanish Doping scandal when lots of Bloods went missing.................... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operaci%C3%B3n_Puerto_doping_case Link to comment

manboobs109 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Meant to be because he cut out gluten. Lol Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Meant to be because he cut out gluten. LolHe was shit at serving, once he sorted that out he was twice the player. Link to comment
minijc Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 He was shit at serving, once he sorted that out he was twice the player.Yes that was his only issue ffs. Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Yes that was his only issue ffs.Didn't say it was his only issue, but it was a big problem at one point. He had to completely change his serve cause it had no power and he was constantly double faulting. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Meant to be because he cut out gluten. LolI remember commentators talking about this during a major. Lapping the whole thing up...idiots Link to comment
Reed or deed Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So if the top players are enhanced, what's to stop the others doing the same thing? Lucky for them Jason Bourne doesn't play tennis. Every serve would probably be an ace lol. Link to comment

Reed or deed Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 They don’t want to be cheating cunts.That's as good a reason as any I suppose.Can't see how all these players would have got away with anything. Murray would have dobbed them in. He's a goody two shoes and probably a grass. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Lotta confidentiality being broken therePossibly, although I don’t think there is anything that wasn’t in the public domain. Maybe some details on the extent of the injury.... not sure though! I’ll err on the side of caution though and remove... Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hello? What's this juicy gossip that you've since retracted?? Not that exciting I'm afraid. Via a series of unfortunate concidences, I happened to be speaking to an associate of John O'Donnell (the surgeon who carried out Murrays first hip procedure in Melbourne) last week. He'd seen Murrays scans, knew the injury, the extent and explained the process behind some of the decision he made... which I relayed on here. I don't really think it's a big deal - but as I haven't seen the specifics discussed in the public domain, I'll leave it there. What i would say is, I know that Murray would have been playing through some level of restriction and with fairly extreme pain, during the period he reached world number one. It doesn't particularly surprise me though... the guy is a warrior. Link to comment
Poodler Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I wasn't having a go at you SOTR. What I do think is a big deal is medical professionals talking so flippantly about the medical history of someone just because they're in the public eye. FWIW I wish you well with the route you're going down, nightmare at your somewhat youthful presumed age Link to comment

Parklife Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 What a man. Great show of all his old grit, determination and will to win last night. It was just like old times watching him battle through a marathon match at a slam. A very tough match next up against Auger-Alliassaime though. Link to comment
