I agree with you. And I am no way upholding Maria, I think she should definitely get the book, thrown at her but what I am saying if it’s Williams, than the media, and ESPN. Will cry racism, and all kinds of stuff. To give her cover.

Examining closely the evidence you submitted concerning Ms. Sharapova. Will get back to you, uh, sometime.

OK, well, it certainly doesn’t look like her. Sharapova’s face has a softer look than that. Maybe a bad picture, or else the wrong picture got put in there.

She should have hired Hans and Franz rather than taking Boar’s hormones, it probably made her grumpy.

I read the drug is taken in combo with liprinosol (Blood Pressure Medicine) for exercise enhancement. Sounds dangerous to take ACE inhibitor.

Excuse to get out of contracts they were stupid enough to give in the first place.

My take too. Her 70 million Nike contract is for 8 years but has only two years left on it. So Nike dropped her yesterday to save money

Is it really fair that a person taking a prescribed medication can’t continue to take that medication when the rules change? I’m totally anti-drug. But this goes too far. There should at least be a grace period while a person finds a different prescribed drug to take.

What was her management company doing not alerting her to the new regulations ? Isn’t that why they get 20% of the earnings and the sponsorship money ?

Isn’t this a prescribed heart medication she’s been taking for 10 years?

Tennis just banned this as of January 2016.

As long as the prescription is for a true medical condition and not performance enhancement, cut her some slack.

These athletes make more from endorsement deals than from the sports they play, yes they need to win to get to where they get them, but once they have them to use seems silly to me.

Yes, eventually the sponsors will move on to someone else when you fade, but if you get caught doing this stuff the money evaporates almost instantly.

Personally I’ve can’t think of a single product I’ve ever purchased in my life because of any celebrity endorsing it, but it must work or they wouldn’t pay these guys.

If this is true, and not spin, then this is much ado about nothing.

She says she was unaware that the law had changed. I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt, since that can not be proven or disproven.

If you’re trying to recover from a sports injury, I would think there would be a lot of drugs you might take that would get you in trouble with the rules.

Maybe a bad picture...

It was posted with the wrong parameters so it was distorted.
