    in case you are wondering, I'm a doubles fan more than man-o-man tennis. Its much better to watch in this era of power serves.

    singles, Graf and Edberg would be my fav players.

    And a good example of an attractive tennis player would be Heather Watson. shes confident, doesnt take herself seriously, bubbly, a good team player and the bonus of being hot all year tanned stuff. bit lanky though.

    no not all of them do it all, thats absolutely a lie. You need to watch more tennis.


    Some do it beyond exertion. Cheatapova is the worst by far, elongated yells that ALWAYS end after her ball has landed, but NEVER EVER carry on when the ball is being returned to her. Its a deliberate cheat to mask the sound her serve alone.

    I have no problem with mere exhalation on exertion.

    L Cartanine is the American counterpart and is what russian athletes switched to now that meldonium is banned for political reasons.

    She is using it because she is used to it. When I first started judo at 13, my trainer told my parents that since my lungs and heart weren't up to part, I should start taking some. It is sold over the counter without prescription, like vitamins, and taken as such. You can find L cartanine over the counter in any health food store. Beta alanine is another over the counter alternative that is legal to use because it is produced in countries US has good relationships with.

    No , it is not the same at all. The compound make up is completely different. Its banned because Russians took it to gain an drug fuelled advantage.
    Meldonium was never available in any heath shop , Cartanine is.

    nevermind this debate is over, Maria PEDvetkin is guilty of cheating of the highest order.

    Question remains - what drug will PEDvetkin use next? thoughts?.

    Well either ban everyone from taking performance enhancing substances or allow everyone to use them. It has to be an extreme position- either/or.

    It also doesn't help that the PED list gets modified on an annual basis, so for some fighters on certain nutritional regimens, they could be taking something that just became newly illegal.

    You are talking to the village idiots, there is no point in even doing so unless you're trolling them.

    I think at this point it's safe to label anyone that calls meldonium ban anything but a political flexing of muscle towards athletes from Eastern Europe as an ignorant *******.

    Definitely Mk ultra'd and wow she eats dog food. I sincerely question if the Williams are truly men.

    One had a fake silicon stomach when she was "pregnant" plus their whole story is fishy. They were adopted by a guy who never played tennis yet made them tennis stars. They also looked exactly like boys as children.

    One of them lives near me in FL and she killed someone in a car accident where is was at fault and is getting off the hook. I don't trust any of these "stars"

    Ped testing is a political tool moreso than something done to ensure the integrity of sport (whatever the hell that means).

    The cold, hard fact is that boxing doesn't care. They're only concerned about giving the appearance to fans they care, and they half ass that in a way that makes even the NFL jealous.

    If it did genuinely care, positive tests would result in an automatic loss instead of an NC or, more frequently, no change in result at all.

    People who tested positive either wouldn't be voted in to the HOF at all, or would be forced to wait an additional length of time for enshrinement.

    It's a joke, and it's too late to fix. All they can do at this point is, at best, alter what substances and methods fighters use to juice. They'll never eliminate it, and I sincerely doubt the sport actually wants to.
