    Djokovic isn't taking any substances to my knowledge or re-injecting blood but he is doing something that simulates the effect of re-injecting oxygen rich blood which is what got a number of the cyclists into trouble.

    Djokovic uses something called a CVAC pod which effectively spins your blood as you sit in it - which is what Fuentes was doing for cyclists etc by re-injecting. Djokovic just sits in this pod and it has the effect akin to blood doping as it exerts the body to what would effectively be extreme altitude training. In fact, he's deemed it so important to his preparations that he bases his accommodation at tournaments on accessibility to one of these things.

    I'm pretty certain that this will leave anomalous markers on his biological passport. I know he lost to Del Potro last week and didn't look himself - his first match since the passport programme was introduced. And even if he comes off using it now, his blood markers are still gonna dip markedly and show up. Of course whether tennis wants its world no 1 dragged into the shite is another matter. I think he'll be ok somehow

    They've already got their scientific ticket program retort in before any stuff strikes the fan though. With all these controversy about examining in punching and the different kinds and performance of them, some overarching system maintaining a examine on scientific given would seem a sensible path to go down.

    What does "thin scalp" mean? :huh

    I know what a scalp is obviously, just confused by what you mean in this context.
