opruh reacted to Makedonas in Doping Cases and Bans in 2025
Sharapova was caught with a substance that was only banned for a few weeks at the time, which she did not know about, and she almost immediately accepted responsibility. She never played the victim or complained, and accepted a much longer ban than other tennis players at the time (Strycova, Cilic). I wouldn't say she was caught "intentionally and consciously."
In Sinner's case, his failed tests were swept under the rug for several months and the media and ATP (with their Italian head) did everything possible to act like it did not happen. He did not fire the member of his team who he blamed until after it became public knowledge, more than 5 months after they knew of the positive tests.
We can argue all day but the fact is Sinner had two positive tests and is very very lucky that he won't miss any slams because of it. If I were an Italian, I would be celebrating this decision today.
The problem is there is zero consistency in tennis and some players get harsher penalties than others.

Since when can you "reach an agreement" regarding a doping suspension? What a joke. Djokovic suffered more for not taking the vaccine than Sinner for failing two doping tests. There is no justice in this sport. A big shame.
I don't believe it was intentional but when others like Halep, Sharapova, Jarry were suspended for much longer and even Ymer for not even failing any tests, this seems so ridiculous in comparison.

Yeah, I'll try to do one after all the 2025 winter world cups are over. Thankfully the winter version takes significantly less time and FIS makes my job easier as well by releasing their own simulations.

Btw, @Topicmaster1010 is there a chance you'll do a 2026 qualifying simulation like you did before Paris? That was awesome.
You're damn good at it. And damn fast. You need sth like 45 minutes to finish such a project if i remember correctly

I don't think so. Sinner got away without extra punishment so Świątek probably will too. I mean even Polish experts on TV said trimetazydyne acts like a "new" meldonium in all honesty

Another question: why international federation hidden this case and we found only now? Now is clear why she missed some tournaments "due to personal reasons". Really? Come on

opruh reacted to prso1000 in Doping Cases and Bans in 2024
ATP and WTA are becoming a joke by protecting their stars Swiatek and Sinner. And how many cases are maybe not even known.
I am sure any random top 200 would have been banned at least for 6 months or more.

Tennis is basically like an American sports league in regard to doping issues, sanctions are a joke and/or kept hidden.

And if you want statistics , go to google : type Algerian help to palestine
The first result is:
On December 7, 2021, Algeria announced an aid of 100 million dollars for Palestine and 300 scholarships made available to Palestinian students. During the 2023 Satanyahu–Hamas war, Algeria provided urgent humanitarian and medical aid to the Gaza Strip through Egypt including food, clothing and tents

The Beijing 2022 design was based on the traditional Chinese seal/stamp. If you've been there, you'd recognize it as very Chinese immediately.

It’s always kind of fascinating to me the extend to which MAGAs hate around half of the country.
Not that this current doesn’t also exist on the left, but ya know, just seems like an odd posture to take for someone who claims to be a patriot.
Unfortunatly I don’t have any tears to donate because I’ve never cried over politics, the only times I’ve cried as an adult were when my dad died and when I was divorcing my ex. The extend to which I don’t cry is actually a bit unhealthy and I’m working on it!
Anyway, Stitch is super queer and neurodivergent coded, and he’s an illegal alien living in a deep blue state, so he probably voted for Harris. He can give you some tears on my behalf.
