Looks to have taken over from FIFA as the most corrupt management in sport.
First they allowed all the Russian players to compete. Now, they've reached "an agreement" after the new star player failed a drug test. An agreement that means he's only banned for three months and misses none of the Majors.
I've grown to like tennis in recent years, but this all stinks.

Sinner failed two tests, both accidents apparently.

I read the report, must be a very sensitive test. The masssuse had a cut on his finger and applied an over the counter cream to it which contained the substance. This then apparently was absorbed into Sinner via his eczema flare up .

Cricket is getting so everything is leaning towards India and the IPL.
It was a disgrace that they were the only team that knew where they would play the final if they got there and then play at a time just to suit the Indian television time.
All sports now are being manipulated massively by the tv/satellite networks and the Saudi sportswash money. It is the fans that miss out in the end.

Absolute farce this situation. What would his excuse be if he had taken something on purpose? Probably something like this!

So are Russian tennis players responsible for the war?
Pure fascism and low intelligence not allowing them to play.

So individuals can play, but not teams. What about tennis doubles? I bet if an individual won a title, it would be celebrated in Russia, and not even mentioned that they were not representing Russia. All seems a bit odd.

So the GB Olympic team don't represent GB? Interesting theory.....

Two cats at Wimbledon and one says to the other, “Our kid’s in that racket”. I’ll get my coat as well Steve.

At the Paris Olympics, Russian and Belarusian athletes competed as “Individual Neutral Athletes”. There were fewer competitors from them than in the past games. Athletes from Russia have been banned from competing as a country since 2017.

Strange, strange man Smyth. You have no idea, do you, about such a vast plethora.... Oh well. Happily I can ignore you henceforth.
