Scales Drop From Eyes

So 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...

I sometimes think they should just tear up the rulebook and say, "OK, take whatever you like- and die early; why should we care?"

Yep. It only really bothers me if the innocent get screwed over… but if all the top players are at it, then there are few innocents left to worry about.

It's a Faustian pact- get very rich and very famous- but put self respect to one side and pile up health problems for your old age.
