Similar could've been said about a former world number 1 who came back from cancer to reclaim his title.
I'm not sure if tennis players are on the same gear as cyclists, Lance Armstrong says hi, but it's hardly done with just diet and hard work.
Maria Sharapova was on something legal for a decade before it was banned.
Personal or not, don't put these athletes up on a pedestal, you will be disappointed.
I don't idolise people very flippantly.
In fact, my idolatry of sports stars wanes the more money involved in becoming the greatest there is. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Very difficult to become the world number 1, but when you get there, the dollars for simply being there can sustain you at the top (ala Hawks, and recruiting players cheaply during their recent reign).
Nobody should have lost their livelihood over these choices, and this recent Novak flip flop makes the government look like the rabble they are.
