Yeah, but who pay for the time lost by Simona? I have a message for Mouratoglou but is better to not write it here because Sindo will delete it I say only one thing: now we know why Serena was the best athlete in the Universe so much time

 

Nobody will. She's lucky CAS is a lap dog of an organisation. This case pretty much proves money buys you justice and I wonder how WTA will try to sweep this under the carpet and how many of players will speak against Halep on her return. I suspect Eugenie Bouchard would if only she wasn't so irrelevant these days.

I always liked her but think it's weird she got less time than Sharapova, and also they should've just made it 18 months. Now it's sad that she could've played sooner but they didn't have the decision in time?!

 

Anyways I'm happy to see her back, hopefully she will be in Paris as she had to miss both Rio and Tokyo...

It'd be something...missing one Olympics by choice, missing another due to injury...and then actually going to one because of escaping a significant doping ban

 Fencer Ysaora Thibus suspended after abnormal doping test result

And in today's news: she's going with the 'it came from sex' defense. So they're throwing her partner Race Imboden under the bus, but considering he is retired anyway, I'm sure he doesn't care  

 

Dutch media for some reason seems to have a weird focus on specifically mentioning oral sex. Like they want to make it more, you know, juicy

Interesting headline they chose

 

"French Olympic fencer says she failed drugs test due to contamination from her partner’s bodily fluids"

Sweat, obviously

Dayana Yastremska got away with that excuse (i.e. her boyfriend's penis lotion was contaminated) so someone else might try to copy the story

Athletes have absolute responsibility for anything in their bodies!   Oh dear….
