The straight up hypocrisy and abuse of privilege on show is repulsive.
I don't get it, the driver of this issue.

Handle backed they throw up in a cab, then apparently put on a turn making excuses to get out of paying.

Kerr is not short of a quid, and I discovered today that Mewis has private wealth of about US$10M. FFS you cheap-a5re flogs, throw the cabbie a 50 quid and move on!

Australian tennis player-turned-commentator Rennae Stubbs has made the shock declaration she thinks Jannik Sinner is "guaranteed" to cop a ban when he fronts the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in April. Sinner won his second Australian Open and third grand slam title last week, but his immediate future in the sport is under a cloud.

The World No.1 will face a CAS hearing and could be facing a maximum two-year ban after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed a decision by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to clear him. Sinner twice tested positive to banned steroid Clostebol last March, but the ITIA allowed him to keep playing after he claimed he was inadvertently contaminated by his physio.

I dont watch Tennis but its interesting to me how Sinner has escaped punishment and sold the old contaminated by another story and got away with it but that rarely works in other sports and id pose the question that if he was ranked 150 in the world instead of No 1 would he have been suspended/banned?
Djokovic has copped plenty of heat for withdrawing but the aptly named Sinner who has been caught twice for steroid use gets away with zero heat coming his way...

Suspended but will be back just in time for the French open. How fortunate.

Yep it's amazing how it's been played down and treated as a minor indiscretion almost which given his history of offences just shows how insipid and corrupt the game of professional Tennis is imo.

Shawny, no doubt we have the professional discount for elite players like a lot of other pro sports.

I suppose that assumes all sports are treated fairly and equally, but I doubt it, the contradictions already existed around soccer and other European sports.

More to the point is that all tennis athletes are not treated fairly and equally.

This is why we like our sport free of politics.

Adrian mutu would disagree with that statement.

The taller the poppy the harder it is to chop down.

There's politics at play for sure but not code based.  Afl would be made an example of as they're small fry for sure but thats got nothing to do with the price of fish in China.

You follow the drug, where it was sourced and the likelihood of it being used elsewhere and thats when wada might pull out the wet lettuce leaf.

They've gone soft on tennis before and they will again because there is minimal gain in biting the hand that feeds you and they'll simply lose funding.

The other aspect is that they're very quick to clamp down on Russian interests (for reference Adrian mutu and Roman abrahmovic).

I feel that observation confirms my assertion that politics apply, the direction of it will make little difference, all should be treated equally.

Feelings ain't anything worth listening to!  🤣

A Romanian international with cocaine in his system on big dollars for Chelsea fc.  The code doesn't get a free pass which was your contention.  If he was playing tennis he could say he kissed the wrong person and get away with it.

I explicitly stated fair and equal, not the free pass you have imagined.
