-pops- Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 British tennis star Greg Rusedski has tested positive for the banned substance nandrolone. - - - - The Canadian-born player lost the second match of his comeback in Adelaide on Thursday. From BBC News pages http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/3381111.stmI wonder how long it will be before our revered press* revert Rusedski to being "Canadian tennis star" so that we in Britain are not "contaminated" by this unseemly allegation?*Especially the Daily Mailicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I think you can see from the part of the story you quoted it's already started, prior to this story, most of the items I have read about him had started omitting "the Canadian born player" and were just using "British tennis player" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 It's about time that this drugs testing was sorted out properly. There needs to be a lot more research into the effect, not only of food and supplements and the diet in general, but also the effect that training has on the body. It is well known for a start that excessive training in some women can lead to an increase in male hormones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 I'm sure the press would change their minds if he ever won a major competition...then again we don't seem to like having such postive things in the news so perhaps they wouldn't.Andsome is right, this issue does need to be sorted. I'd go on step further and say we need to address the problems of a legal system (of whatever kind) that seems to allow people to appeal until they get the decision they want.

Intratech Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I wonder how long it will be before our revered press* revert Rusedski to being "Canadian tennis star" so that we in Britain are not "contaminated" by this unseemly allegation?*Especially the Daily MailiciousLoL. I was wondering about this since Ben Johnson became Jamaican-born instead of "Canada top sprinter" :censored: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Agree with andsome. This does need sorting out and wile I'm against drugs being used in sport, in fact drugs used in general. Most of us take vitamin pills or medication of some sort, this will also apply to athlete's.If they tested me they would lock me up and throw the key away if it were not for the fact they are prescribed for me by my Doctor. :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
