I love Sharapova's diabetes excuse on several levels.
1) She doesn't have it and doesn't meet the risk factors for type 2.
2) The only text linking this drug to maaaaybe some positive outcomes on diabetes involved obese rats and doesn't list any peer reviews or additional studies. Not even a sample size.
3) The manufacturer of the drug recommends a 4-6 week cycle for patients. Not 10 years. And it doesn't list diabetes.
4) She runs her own FUCKING CANDY LINE called Sugarpova! Get the hell out of here.

Take your L and move on.
And for the record, I'm more than convinced Serena is also taking everything under the sun. Her listed weight is insane, as she's easily 175+. But unless she gets caught, oh well.

Stop lying. I said "she looks like a man". I never said anything about her being black. That has nothing to do with it. One can be black and REALLY beatiful, and black and ugly as f*ck. She is the latter. A great atlhete, but not attractive. And sadly that is really important for many people when rooting for someone.

Yeah there's totes no racial undertones with that.
Maybe if Sharapova's ass actually put on muscle she could present a challenge to Serena. 😂
No, not for me. You have to stop calling people racist because they don't find ONE black woman attractive.

I mean, she could start lifting weights after all these years and maybe, just maybe, take a set off of Serena once in a while, or she could start selling Maria branded yoga pants.
Tough call!

I think it has more to do with you saying she looks like a man

This doesn't seem to matter to some people.
Well, she does.
In what way has that anything to do with race? There are white muscled women that also look like men.
I'll stop it here because I think there are cultural barriers that stop me from understanding what looking like a man has to do with racism.

So claiming the black female that's dominating a majority white sport looks like a man isn't rooted in racism?Well, she does.

No, it's rooted in looks. I fail to see in what way looks are racist.

I like how you picked a picture of her while playing, look I can do it too:
That thigh doesn't look really feminine to me.
This does:
First I was like wow crazy but the more you read the story you realize that it's not as bad as initially been made out to be.The thing she took was legal until 2016 january and players were free to use that medicine. Though it's insane how an athlete of this level can totally neglect that email from Wada. Just goes to show you gotta be 100% focused on these matters.
It was the first google images result.
It doesn't look good no.
Yes, it does. But most of the images I find through google are more like this:
Can't blame anyone for not finding her attractive.
Now, can anyone please explain me why it seems to be racist to think he looks like a man? I'm being really serious, I don't know if it's a USA thing like blackace (i just found that this is really offensive, but it's done everywhere in Europe without it being racist).

No one blames you for not finding her attractive, but saying she looks like a man is highly questionable and honestly sounds racist as fuck.

Because it's a racist stereotype disproportionally attributed to black women.
Like why are we talking about Serena's look in a "Maria Sharapova failed a drug test" thread? How does Serena's look is even relevant? You don't see how questionable bringing her looks in this thread is?
Well, I sincerely didn't know that. I apologize for having said that. I didn't know that it was a racist stereotype. I'm sorry.

Strong rivalry between the two in some people's eyes. But in reality Serena has been beating the brakes off the girl forever now. So there's not really a rivalry. It's sort of made up. Its really about giving it to an athlete that gets caught cheating. People are merciless with it, and for good reason. Sharapova was never going to be any different. Get caught cheating, get dragged. That's the recipe, no matter how "feminine and attractive" you are. Rest assured, Serena gets caught cheating and a lot of us will be going in on her too. No one is sacred.
It's a battle of stans. Team Sarena celebrating that Maria got caught, and team Maria talking about looks, and the panic room incident. Best to just leave them at it.

Because Serena has quite likely been juicing as well. She avoided a doping test back in 2011.
Also because of their (one-sided) rivalry.

I don't give a fuck what your, excuse for this is. The racial undertones in this statement is fucking ridiculous and if you dont understand you should read a book or 10. This is gross.

As I said before, I didn't know it had racial undertones in the US. Not here in France. Anyway, I already apologized.
nothing... This thread should be locked.. A lot of people are derailing it..

If doping is what Rafa Nadal needed to put on matches like Wimbledon 2008 or AO 2012, then by all means, keep doping.
Let them all dope.
I know it soubds crazy, but I would support a free doping kind of thing. Let people dope themselves and play at their peak all the time. It would be fun and dramatic all the time at least. It would bring up other problems though, so I understand why this will never be a thing (at least officially *wink*).
Oh please. So Serena's fans are racists? Because they are the ones that brought her up in this thread, in its very first page in fact. Doesnt take much to notice really, so at least make an effort. I understand that its a concurrent argument (sadly) when these two are involved but its not pertinent in this thread, so please stop bringing Serena up.

1. You aren't a mod, and the Serena converation existed before I came in here, so don't tell me to do shit
2. Your post history indicates massive amounts of salt about this news. No one did it but Sharpova, be mad at her
Have mercy for his poor soul, his somewhere between the first and the second of the five stages of grief

As if we needed more evidence, the name of the game is taking drugs that WADA researchers have yet to identify as performance enhancing, then waiting for their scientists to catch up.
I dont get how Sharapova's team dropped the ball so hard, WADA gifted her team two separate "get out of jail free" cards in the form of advance notice and they still fucked up.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
What a fucking phony!
None of these pro athletes are real. They all abuse drugs and use fake chemicals go enhance their bodies. Boot them off this planet, get them out of here! We should only let honest, natural, and legit people compete.

I know you're banned but for the record I don't buy thia shit for a second. You knew what you were doing.
I have a question about this.... So if Sharapova got the email with the updated list, does her team gets the same list? even with the warning about banning such product?
