    For those who don't know... Yesterday Serena Williams was in a Doubles match along with her sister, Venus, at Wimbledon.
    But Serena had to retire from the match due to a "viral illness" and well .... just watch.




    Crazy to see a talented professional athlete such as her be in a state like that. She claims "viral illness" but ... erm yeah right :pac:
    So what do you think? Do you buy the whole viral illness or you think something else... perhaps herbal, perhaps prescription based (etc) was afoot?

    Off her tits by the look of it

    Definitely heroin.

    Whatever was the problem she was off her head anyway. Whether it was weed or lemsip she was high as a kite.

    If she was that sick, I would have imagined she'd be sweating more. The last time I was out of it because of an illness I was actually dehydrated in the mornings because of all the sweatin......just an observation like.

    I think she was sick, especially when she burst into tears, probably felt like ****e and wanted to be home in bed.

    Performance Enhancing Drugs. To many years of abuse has made her useless and has completely run her body down to this.*

    I'd love to see her tits, they're proper bazookas.

    You pretty much copied the youtube comment left by someone :pac:

    But in all seriousness. Could be the case.

    No. Nor did I start moving furniture into the hallway in the morning as I had planned to, because it was so big and all that space I'd never seen before wasn't being used.....

    I really didn't copy any comment. But yeah high doses of PE D's and the pressure of the tournament along with the warm London sun = melt down.

    She slogged long and hard enough, probably five or six lifetimes worth of hard work and training. If she's decided to "let her hair down" a bit, I'd say she's earned the right to do that. Possibly retiring quietly first, in a blaze of glory would have been a better strategy though...Though maybe the woman did have a bug. Either way, whatever.

    They are. But it's well known about athletes using masking agents. These products cost ALOT of money. But Tennis players like Serena aren't short for a few bob.

    Competitors are warned about the risks of taking supplements.
    Anti-Doping testing will be carried out at The Championships this year in accordance with the 2011 ITF Tennis Anti-Doping Programme.
    Players may be notified of their selection for sample collection at any time or place. Players will normally be chaperoned from the time between notification and arrival at the Doping Control Station.
    All anti-doping testing is carried out independently of the tournament organisers.

    Id say that after she came off court, she had more pricks than an aging hooker

    She and Venus lost their Sister during a gang shoot out in Compton a few years ago.. pretty traumatic times for them I'd say.. They've been through the mill.

    Her team would hardly have let her set foot on court if she was off her head. There's enough speculation about her using PEDs without that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,954 ✭✭✭Tail Docker


    Venus is winning the "cool sister" award there though. Maybe not so much off-camera?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,138 ✭✭✭SaveOurLyric


    Isnt it usually just "an over the counter cough medicine" ?

    No, that causes arousal on aeroplanes, not clumsiness.
