[article] Shameful Federer Betrayed Spirit of Sport

[DarthFed]

I didn't know he had trouble with it before 2008, but it has been more of a issue since then. But only 2013 does it seem to have been a long-term problem. Other than that he seems to have spasms every now and then, hopefully that's all this is. I don't think it's smart to play these matches, especially since they are best of 5, but he has to feel the weight of Switzerland on his shoulders...

I thought PEDs where taboo around here.

It's certainly to his credit if this has been an ongoing frailty for longer than we all thought. Glad to see he's no whiner! :laydownlaughing

Wait, you actually believe this has been an ongoing issue since 2003? Oh my god...

Again, injuring a body part in 2003, then injuring it again in late 2008 DOES NOT MEAN it's an ongoing issue. They were 5 years apart and neither injury had long term effects. The only thing resembling a nagging injury Federer has had is his back issue since 2013, since he's obviously been struggling with it on a semi-regular basis.

-- Nadal has a laundry list of injuries since pretty much the day he set foot on a tennis court, many of which forced him to take time off >>>>> Skepticism.

-- Federer has had a few injuries here and there >>>>> CHRONIC CONDITION! WHAT A HERO FOR PERSEVERING! I ALMOST SHED A SINGLE TEAR TO PAY TRIBUTE!

God people are gullible.

Lol! Pot? Kettle?

I was being humorous!! Jeepers BS And please don't misquote me. My phrasing was ongoing frailty.. not ongoing issue.. As you well know I think this whole issue is largely irrelevant. If you get on the court to play... etc It's not only Rafa fans on this board that josh around
