poliphiloSo Sharapova has been drugging....
Call me naive but I'd never bothered to consider whether tennis was clean or not. I just sort of assumed it was. Silly me.
And now, having done my homework, I'm aware of all the rumours (and more than rumours) swirling around about the top players. How do the big stars manage to remain so dominant? Why do they perform so averagely on the circuit but so strongly at the slams? How do they manage to have both the bulk of heavyweights and the speed of lightweights? Well...
I may not bother to watch Wimbledon this year...

And this doesn't even include the bets on who wins and who wo loses.
