lol reading the comments on ita sites about the Errani case....

Front was bashing the cilic's, Errani's excuses, this is what an ita person wrote under the Errani article about Sharapova:

"Maria Sharapova. Una delle poche/pochi ad aver fatto il mea culpa. Ha pagato giustamente e sta cercando di rientrare da campionessa. In maniera barbara è stata crocifissa dal web (anche perchè russa, a mio modo di vedere, visto la campagna mediatica contro la Russia di Putin). Sarita....come tanti altri campa scuse....caduta la pasticca (60 euro a confezione) nei turtelen. Mah..."

so now what is worse if they admit it or if they make up some funny excuse? But ita person was right, Sharapova got crucified in a barbaric way..... :p

A two month ban is lenient. The ban should be longer, especially when considering how flimsy the excuse is. These people will say anything as an excuse. And there is a bit of confusion on which drug was found in her system. Some sites say its anastrozole, and others are saying its letrozole. These two drugs act the same way though.

There are known medications that have performance enhancing effects, so people should not be surprised if athletes are punished for taking those substances. Some athletes think that by taking medications that can enhance performance, they will have better excuses. Science is making progress, and there maybe many medications that are being taken as PED's that will soon be outlawed, so those who are using them can get away with it for now until it is discovered that they can act as PED's.

This was the explanation from Errani's mother:

Errani's mother, Fulvia, appeared at a hearing between the ITF and her daughter, where she admitted to accidentally dropping Femara pills from her blister pack "onto the worktop or onto the floor" during the preparation of meals.

"She explained how in the past she had accidentally dropped pills from the blister pack from which Femara was discharged by hand onto the worktop or onto the floor," a record of the hearing said.

"She explained how she had on occasions accidentally pushed two pills out rather than the one required.

"That such pills should be dispensed in close proximity to where food would be and was in fact being prepared created an obvious risk of contamination."

What a load of shit.

The funny thing is that Errani is not even claiming that due to some confusion she accidentally took her mom's medication. The claim is that somehow mom's tablets touched some food and Errani ate that food and so she tested positive. This is too much to believe.

I highly doubt that a pill touching food will have that kind of effect. If they used that pill as an ingredient while preparing some food (lol) it is a different matter (but in that case it is not accidental).

What's the bet her mum doesn't even have cancer at all and Errani was simply taking an estrogen blocker to produce more testosterone. Nah, that would never happen..

The pathetic excuses and blatant lies athletes use these days is both deplorable and embarrassing. And the dumb authorities believing this shit are 100 times worse. Sad times we live in.

So basically the moral of the story for players caught doping is just make up an excuse... any excuse - as long as it feeds the narrative that it was accidental and you'll get a lighter sentence. Caught using steroids? ... My mother inadvertently smeared anabolic steroids onto the cheese grater... "No worries girl, just a couple of months for you... could happen to anyone..."

She reached the RG final in 2012 and that prick was her doctor back then so pretty sure she's been doping quite some time. That photo I posted of her juiced up neck is from back then.

Poor Vika. First a very public relationship and breakup w/ RedFool and now this character. She just can't seem to find the right man in her life. And unlike her other relationships where she could just walk away, she'll have to deal w/ this loser for the rest of her life. :negative:

I feel sorry for her..this can cause her to go into depression or ruin her career.I think Vika loves really hard and some men can exploit that weakness..I really want her to play USA Open she deserves to win that event after all those finals,she is the best hardcourt player after Serena..
