India National Thread

We need to win with kazakh or Philippines to loose to Jordan, but would face Iran in QF which is the sad part...hope we get ranking points from this tournament and climb the rankings.

[Prashanth 179]

Happy for Aditi mostly her 1st T10 finish in European tour. She now climbs the world ranking to 359...hope she finishes in top 300 or 250 in her rookie year....

India needs some push with someone pushing up in women's tennis. Ankita Raina lone in top 300 n moving slowly up..She needs to push soon up.

No, Simone Biles and Venus Williams are not going to be stripped of their medals. As Simone said, she had prior permission from WADA to take her medication (containing banned substance) due to her condition (ADHD). In theory at least, these exemptions are available to any athlete who can prove that s/he has an underlying condition and needs medication for that. Also, I hope, they need to show that other medications (without the banned substance) can't work. This exemption could be time bound (when an athlete is recovering from surgery/injury) or long term (I am assuming that Biles has a long term exemption). Legally speaking, I think, they have broken no law and hence, there is no chance of ban or stripping of medals.
