According to Sharapova, tennis players were sent the 2016 list of banned substances on December 22 (and by the way, doesn’t she have a team who should be checking on exactly these types of things?). So the change became effective Jan-1, but they were warned in advance.

Bjorn Borg called tennis “a million little sprints”. How the men survive five-setters these days, mostly played from behind the baseline? Some of them have to be juicing.

When the sport hands out bans, they tend to be lengthy... so I suspect the real audience here is the people who are still deciding her punishment.

Tennis players can usually get a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) from the ITF for medication, especially when rehabbing from injury. Unfortunately for fans, TUEs are never made public. Certain players are reputed to make liberal use of TUEs, but no-one really knows.

Same thing really - They normally talk about banning people for X duration, and they call it a lifetime ban if the suspension/ban is permanent.

Pretty obvious that Billy only wants Leicester to win so that Spurs do not.

You know who saves kids from dangerous flying bats? Superman, that’s who. They’re making a whole film about it.

This again? Stillitano is only like nearly 20 years late to the party. The same fucking idea is aired by the biggest European clubs themselves at least every 5 years or so.

I want this pony.

I look forward to the North LOLdon derby this weekend.

It’s just how you’d imagine, given they are not quite as bad as the buttfumblers trying to haul them in. Hence:

This is a great question to be asking on the day every potential challenger to Leicester managed to lose.
