Tennis players are tested a lot and are usually hyperviligant about what they consume, and if a massive star like Sharapova can get caught flat-footed and outed, I imagine anyone can. There are always TUEs (therapeutic use exemptions), of course.

Sharapova couldn't be bothered with the paperwork and extensive doctor's exams to go for the TUE.  Also, she never declared that she had a physical ailment that needed treatment, let alone a disclosure of her use of meldonium, which still strikes me as weird. 

I mean, we all know that Petra has asthma and uses an inhaler. We knew when Heather Watson and Christina McHale were suffering from glandular fever and Venus' struggles with Sjgrogren's are well documented, as well as Serena's history with bloodclots.

Why no papertrail for Maria?  Strange.

 

Sorry but Errani's excuse of her mom's meds falling into the pasta doesn't pass muster for me.  I had a relative who took cancer meds and kept them in her bedroom, NEVER in the kitchen. There is a strong warning against anyone except the patient even handling the medicine because it is so strong.

Yeah, there are a lot of things about Sharapova’s situation that don’t wash. It just makes her insolent attitude that much harder to take now. Not to mention the willful amnesia of the tennis media, who have never truly held her accountable.

Not a surprise but at least we'll see him at Wimbledon. Can't say that about Roger and Paris. He could have easily lost today. Roger is not that dominate anymore on grass like he use to even though he wins it....imagine Rafa losing the first set of a clay court tournament in the opening round....would never happen.
