Djokovic

[diddlydo]

Isn't it time that Djokovic's latest "diet" came under very close scrutiny?

[bednobs]

?

[ummmm]

What? Why?

[Neveracrossword]

Why?

[diddlydo]

I'm pretty convinced he could turn out to be another Lance Armstrong...

[Mamyalynne]

Gluten free and plant based diets are very popular already , he's been following it for years.

[ummmm]

Really?

Could it be he's just a very good tennis player?

[diddlydo]

Errr........when Federer and Murray were calling for more rigorous drug testing Djokovic said it was OK as it was. Enough said.

[Ken4155]

The Djokoman is one of the best players ever to have graced a tennis court. I dare say that, like Serena Williams, he will have been 'randomly' drug tested more times than you've had hot dinners, diddlydo. If you don't like the man, fine. But to say you're pretty convinced his performances are drug enhanced - while providing no evidence whatsoever - is quite pathetic.

[ummmm]

Agreed Ken.

[Mamyalynne]

I took the topic at face value, more fool me.

Most unpleasant.

[diddlydo]

There are many who think that Djokovic is on something dodgy. That plus his gamesmanship makes him a despicable creature and a discredit to tennis.

[ummmm]

Who are these 'many' ?

[Ken4155]

"There are many who think that Djokovic is on something dodgy." So because there are people who THINK he's on something dodgy, he's a despicable creature. Ok!! You obviously do not like him. And just as obviously, you know diddlysquat about the game.

[diddlydo]

Sorry but I know more about tennis than some of you will ever know. I won't bother to explain as it would be a waste of time.

[ummmm]

Why post a thread then?

[tamborine]

His long toilet breaks mid match made me suspicious of whether he was sniffing a line.

He gave up gluten and claims it has made him a better player.

[Ken4155]

Yeah, you know so much about tennis you conveniently forgot to mention that the world's top players - men and women - get dope tested more than the lower ranks. And many times they are tested when they are not actually involved in current tournaments. Remember reading once that Andy Murray talked about a 'tester' calling at his home for a sample at 7 in the morning, weeks before his next match.

[-SharonA-]

Yeah I remember him saying that. That is how Mo Farah got caught, by an unexpected tester.

[Ken4155]

And the Djokoman enhances his reputation with a straight sets 3-0 win to capture his 14th grand slam title, equalling Pistol Pete's record.
