    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
