I knew she had to be on something to look that fit.

For those of you wonder WTF? she was done for a banned substance a couple of days ago. Link here. . Pro athlete in drug use shocker. Not. It's just safe to assume they're all rattling like pill boxes.

"I want the athletes to take drugs. I mean, do you want to see someone shave a hundredth of a second off the 100m record, or do you want to see them run it in 3 seconds? I don’t want to see Dwaine Chambers running on steroids; I want to see him running with the legs of a kangaroo and the heart of a leopard. I want to see him run so fast that half-way through the race, he disappears, like the car from Back to the Future, reappears at the finish line as an old man, shouts “BEWARE CHINA”, and crumbles into f*cking dust"

She was using it for years, probably because it was permitted to be used and helped her performance.

They only banned it in January and she failed the test in January also. You would think that these athletes would have someone keeping a close eye on the banned substance list, esp the newly added ones

The only thing that bothers me about it is that she tries to claim it has been prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition... A drug that treats angina and heart attacks being used by a top athlete which also happens to improve ones performance. I mean, I don't care about her taking it really but who does she think she's trying to fool here....

What about Williams?The muscles on that guy.

This is more common than you think. TUE is therapeutic use exemptions. An athlete was on the radio talking about TUE's, he said some guys have more than 15 TUEs and if TUEs are anything to go by, pretty much every athlete "has asthma"

Plausible deniability

Can the anti-doping crowd demand that she undergo tests to prove that she has angina? I wouldn't have thought so

I don't want to blow my own trumpet, but I diagnosed this years ago.

Coat22 · 08-03-2016 02:51PM

I'm sure she has

bnt · 08-03-2016 03:19PM

Well, major sponsors - Nike, Tag Heuer, Porsche - are dropping her like the proverbial hot potato. Not that Ms. Sharapova needs any more money, she's set for life and can do whatever she wants. I wonder what "Sugarpova", her sweets company, is worth now? I see coaching and/or commentating in her future.

Hypocritical **** for the most part. These eejits know full well that it's more than evian in the water bottles of pro athletes and are happy to milk them for all they're worth. At least these days the pros get so much money they can walk away happy. Though that big money pretty much guarantees doping and cheating. Pro cycling takes the biscuit(and all the drugs) though, any sponsor who claims they didn't know that the cyclists made Iggy Pop at his peak look clean are at best economical with the truth and they still are. I simply don't believe there is a pro cyclist today that's in the top 20 that isn't juicing. They just got better at it and are ahead of the curve and tests(like the drug yer wan was caught taking. Heart condition my furry hoop). Hell one was recently snared at a world championship with an effin electric motor in their bike frame. Track and field is also well dubious and sports like rugby look more than a tad sniffy too.

Nodin · 08-03-2016 04:16PM

Rugby....."powers of recovery" me bollocks.

What could possibly be hypocritical about Nike taking the moral high ground?

Pat Kenny has landed in hot water for comments he made on Maria Sharapova.

The tennis superstar announced in a statement today that she has been suspended after using the drug meldonium, a substance recently banned that she has been taking for health reasons since 2006.
The radio host has taken flack for commenting that several of his listeners would like to “make babies” with Maria.

Poor Pat, he only said what his listeners and most males were thinking.

This auld equality in no fun.

realdanbreen · 08-03-2016 05:48PM

Good to see that Pat has learned from his Dawn French episode!

Duggy747 · 08-03-2016 05:52PM

Was it him that referred to Dana International, winner of the 98' Eurovision who is transexual as "it"? :pac:

Wibbs · 08-03-2016 05:52PM

Humourless oul biddies being humourless shock. Though apparently it's empowering to flick the bean to some posh totty bloke taking off his shirt on the latest BBC costume drama.

You're right.

And d'you know what? so's Trump. He's only saying what all of us white men are thinking. F*cking Irish immigrants, they need to go back to their own country.

I've merged the Sharapova threadz.

You don't have to be humourless to think it's a bit much insulting Dawn French, calling a transexual 'it' or making awkward 'jokes' about a much, much younger woman in the news.

You just have to have some sense of what's appropriate, something Pat the Plank lacks on occasion.

But yeah, dem feministers.

Wibbs · 08-03-2016 05:59PM

To be fair to her, I think she's handling it well considering the effect this will have on her career, in the short term anyway. Long term, if she gives off the right amount of contrition and her fan base remains high the same, or other companies will likely be back, because dollars.

You kinda do TBH. Did he say he wanted to "make babies" with her?

''A lot of our listeners willing to help Maria Sharapova make babies while she's banned.''

No need to give airtime to that. I thought that day was gone, obviously not.

As for humour, it's not exactly funny, is it?
