RE: She says she was unaware that the law had changed, Im giving her the benefit of the doubt,
As do I. How would one know what substances are or are not considered legal if they don’t make an announcement?
Question — was it not illegal before? If so, you cannot punish someone for a rule that was enacted recently.
There has to be a GRACE PERIOD after you make the rule so that athletes can be warned.

Maria and Serena have been long time off the court enemies, having both dated the same guy, Dimitrov.
Serena has skated on quite a few drug tests, as she is Jehovah Witness, etc., etc.,

I admit, I did fall for this one, since I'm a Doris Day fan.

I wouldn't mind them bringing back Anna Kournikova. Where on earth is she?
To: smokingfrog
FWIW, the story I read yesterday is that the drug she was taking was within the rules. What she failed to do was read an email that told her something in it was added to the prohibited list.
It does make one wonder what their high-paid doctors are doing to earn their pay.

Yes, we have one back in our drafting department. Looks good but personality of a brick. Gets real bent out of shape when I ask her if she is from “the Ukraine”?
Oh well, at least I’m not married to her!!

The Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer announced it would not renew its deal with the 28-year-old. Hey, Maria, how about a Casio?

The drug in question is not a steroid. It was only banned two lousy months ago. How do we draw the line. Why is this no good, but caffeine is fine? Why are supplemental vitamins okay? They can be performance enhancers. I don’t know what the answer is, but it isn’t testing for every health supplement under the sun.

Sharapova got caught cheating using a banned "performance enhancing" drug. She is SO good that she doesn't need it.
She's 6'2" tall and beautiful...and NOT dumb.
If she didn't know about the drug you can BET that her trainers and coaches knew...but she still used it.
She is on a well-deserved suspension.
Imagine, a Russian caught cheating. What a shock.

Tomorrow American Jack Sock is playing German Dustin Brown...German mother/black American father.
So the announcement was made today: tomorrow is the BROWN - SOCK match. Heeheeheee. Made ME chuckle.
If those spoiled brats had ANY sense of humor there would be BROWN SOCKS flying all over Roland Garros tomorrow.
