Talk About Tennis 2.0

Camporese about Sinner:"the trial has not started, and the judges have not yet been officially appointed by the parties but there are rumors that they ordered the CAS to give a 1 year disqualification(no matter the trial) to send a political message that it is Wada that decides the sanctions"

the news is absolutely consistent with the Italian rumors of two months ago which I heard that given that the one-year disqualification will be a purely political disqualification as it was already decided before the trial and will essentially destroy Sinner's career at just 23 years old, they granted him as a goodwill gesture to play the Australian Open first so he could have the chance to win his third slam before his career disintegrated.

these rumors about the political decision and the act of mercy at the Australian Open were circulating in Italy 3 months ago.... while the news has only now arrived that the trial will in fact be held after the Australian Open

Manufacturer said in their press release that they were contacted by UK lawyers who did not disclose that ITIA was their client. By Polish law, they are not allowed to send pharmaceutical samples they are producing to unauthorized third parties. And in Poland, Melatonin is considered a medicament, not a supplement, or so I understand.

The Player has asserted that she did not intend to cheat and did not knowingly ingest TMZ. She asserts that her physician, an expert in sports medicine, recommended that she purchase and use the Product to reduce the effects of jetlag from frequent travel, and that (unknown to her) the Product was contaminated with TMZ.

Trimetazidine (TMZ) is a medication used to treat heart-related conditions like angina. It helps metabolize fatty acids, which helps your body use oxygen. The drug allows for more blood flow to your heart and limits quick changes in your blood pressure. This can help lessen chest pain from blocked blood vessels.4 Aug 2024

In other words it's used as a form of blood doping and that is why it's considered a PED. It seems to me that like Halep, Sinner and their teams the medication hadn't totally left her body when they took the sample hence the low amount found. Saying that what she took was melatonin is...let's say not true.

It is just an unreasonable expectation that athletes will send to laboratory any drug/supplement they are taking. These "authorities" got too much power and they are clearly abusing it.

And if they're lying?
