You can only guess how many players (and regular people) had no problem with the exemptions, because they are not famous and can fly under the radar. Two-faced Australia now backtracking on their own absurd rules and going full populism. If this was Russia, we know what internet and media would have been. Novak Đoković, Li Na, Grigor Dimitrov, Pavel Levandovski, Maria Sharapova, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Agnieska Radwanska, Nikola Jokić, Janica Kostelić and so on, will never be on the same level with Andy Rodick, Andy Murray, Ronny O'Sullivan, Tiger Woods, Dirk Nowitzki, Bode Miller.... And only difference is their nationality. Marion Jones is great champion with a few wrong steps in career, but Suen Yang is satan himself.

Makedonas 1,576 Posted January 7, 2022 #74 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I think the Voracova situation is crazy and makes Djokovic look much better now. It shows that Australia was allowing others who followed the same process in, and it was not just "arrogant Djokovic getting special permission because he is famous" as people were saying. Nobody is blameless in this situation, but now Australia looks very bad for originally allowing it and now changing their minds. It's too late for that. You can't give people exemptions and then revoke them. Going forward, they should be more consistent to avoid messy situations such as this.

Ah, the old times when you'd get at least 10 replies specifying that Czech Republic etc. aren't in Eastern Europe. Nowadays, even on something completely unlerated to nationality, everyone is Eastern if they can play the victim of the Big Bad West pdr4332 and dcro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 3,594 Posted January 7, 2022 #77 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Australia is a mess. Their hard lockdowns measures look more desperate & unsuccessful the longer the pandemic lasts (and it will last for some years yet IMO). Meanwhile French sport minister says French Open will allow unvaccinated players (including Djokovic himself of course) https://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/33011964/novak-djokovic-allowed-play-french-open-even-unvaccinated-france-sports-minister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US government did all that legwork, not the IOC or WADA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
