I think I’d have retired with the first 12 million and then I can take whatever I want.

She’s a Russian beauty but I’ve been told not very friendly. Too bad.

The drug linked to tennis great Sharapova has roots in Soviet military

The obscure performance-enhancing drug that may have doomed tennis star Maria Sharapova’s career was developed for the Soviet military and used during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to maintain soldiers’ focus under stress, according to the drug’s inventor.

Sharapova announced Monday that she tested positive at the Australian Open for meldonium, which has been banned in competition since Jan. 1. The drug, which is not approved for use in the United States, is used to treat heart disease and other chronic conditions in Russia and Eastern Europe — but it was first developed in the then Soviet republic of Latvia at the height of the Cold War as a military tool.

It’s a matter of, time before Serina Williams. Gets caught in a failed drug test. But the media, and ESPN will cover for her and she’ll get a pass.

Excuse to get out of contracts they were stupid enough to give in the first place.

I hereby volunteer to sponsor Ms. Sharapova.
It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
Anyone with me?

My hat’s off to any professional athlete who is not on hot sauce. They are at a tremendous disadvantage.

It is all about getting caught.
Deny, deny, deny. Get caught. Apologize.

Why don’t these companies apply the same strict scrutiny with regards to Drug Testing to the actual Broadcast Networks they Hire?? Any Employee or Independent Contractor fails and you don’t get our Advertising Revenue? I would love to see that. Put Hollywood right in their Place.
