• Why should we love doping in tennis?

    From Kalevi Kolttonen@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 15 10:12:59 2023
    Hello!

    Instead of hating and despising doping, we should
    love it in tennis. Why? Well, it is quite easy to
    answer.

    It is like in many other sports, doping enhances
    atheletes' performance. Because all good tennis
    players use forbidden substances to improve
    their performance, we the spectators get to
    enjoy better tennis. That is great for us.

    So let's just enjoy watching good matches and
    stop caring about doping. They are all doing it,
    and they have been doing it for decades.

    Both ITF and ATP know this fully well, but they do
    not care because it is in their best interest to
    show us best tennis possible and they also want to
    make as much money as possible.

    The best and most expensive doping products must
    be so-called "designer drugs". Even if the players
    go to doping tests, these substances cannot be
    detected.

    yes they should have zero doping rules in tennis cos performance enhancing drugs don't help much anyway, the top levels a large part if mental, so the drugs don't help much, all we'd have is some more players like Shapo so would be entertaining too!

    I'd go so far as to propose that high-level doping be *required* for all
    WTA and APT players; the organizations, themselves, should act as
    supplier. The players would have to periodically test to verify proper
    and timely use.

    There. How's that?

    no way Sawfish's idea is the best cos rather than it be hidden then it will be "out in the open" which is much better(no idea how, but somehow it is) and it can be "taxed" too so everyone would be helped like where you Marxists have legalised dope in the
    USA!

    Wake up, sir! Reality is calling you. It is a
    rough world out there on the ATP Tour. It is
    "Kill or be killed", metaphorically speaking.

    The best pro tennis players have used various forms
    of amphetamine since at least the 1970s, maybe even
    earlier. It improves their concentration and gives
    them faster reaction times so it is easier to receive
    huge serves, for instance. Even the groundstrokes
    are massive these days, so amphetamine helps to
    cope with them.

    Tennis players also use doping to enhance their
    strength and stamina, but the designer drugs are
    not commonly known by names so I cannot name
    them. Long matches can last five hours or more,
    so great stamina is essential.

    It is best just to accept these facts and be
    happy about the better tennis we get to see.

    It would guarantee a higher level of tennis, that
    is true. But I would not mandate doping use. If
    someone wants to try to make it clean, they should
    be free to do so. But doping should be allowed for
    those who use it. Now only the richest players have
    access to the "designer drugs" that cannot be
    detected in doping testing.

    Have you ever followed body building or power lifting?
    It is completely crazy.

    Some organizations have clean athletes, but they are
    so much weaker than those who use doping. Arnold
    Schwarzenegger used doping when he won those Mr.
    Olympia titles, but I guess he knew how to use it
    properly because he has lived this long without
    getting seriously sick.

    And if you have a child that liked one of these players

    First of all, I do not have children and
    never will. I have never wanted to be a father
    of a human being, but we will buy two
    cute rabbits in the future. One of them will be
    a Flemish Giant, and the other will be a Holland Lop.

    Not all doping substances are that harmful if you take
    them under doctor's supervision. Amphetamine is commonly
    taken *every day* by those having ADHD. I guess they
    call it Adderal in the USA.

    Some people get addicted to it while some do not.
    I do not think it can be very toxic if it is
    prescribed for taking every day for ADHD, right?

    I have no clue about the "designer drugs" kind of
    doping. They have not received extensive testing, so
    I suppose they could have nasty side-effects that
    could occur only after years of use.

    In general I no longer care about what other people
    use as long as they behave normally in everyday
    life.

    First, because there are many forms of doping,
    some safer, some more dangerous than others.

    Second, when you are a wealthy athlete, you
    have access to medical supervision. Many
    doctors know what kind of substances are safe and
    they also know the proper dosage that is safe to
    take.

    But if you go overboard with your usage, you

    stop caring about doping. They are all doing it,
    and they have been doing it for decades.

    not care because it is in their best interest to
    show us best tennis possible and they also want to
    make as much money as possible.

    The best and most expensive doping products must
    be so-called "designer drugs". Even if the players

    There. How's that?

    Haha.

    Doping is pretty unhealthy. Barry Bonds could have been one of the baseball GOATs without it.
    It is an incorrect generalization to claim that
    doping is pretty unhealthy. Why?

    First, because there are many forms of doping,
    some safer, some more dangerous than others.

    Second, when you are a wealthy athlete, you
    have access to medical supervision. Many
    doctors know what kind of substances are safe and
    they also know the proper dosage that is safe to
    take.

    Maybe. If it's not unhealthy then it's Ok. It's then like vitamins. But many athletes do it regardless of the heath issues, just don't want to be caught.

    But if you go overboard with your usage, you
    will get sick and die. Just look at those
    fucking body builders who have died young.

    Or became governor of a large US state :-0

    Look, as long as the athletes *know* what
    they are doing, then so be it. I am pretty
    sure that most body builders know that they
    are killing their internal organs by using
    doping. But they do not care, they prefer
    to have huge muscles even if it means they
    will die before reaching 40 years of age.

    I think it is a crazy choice, but some
    people make it anyway. I don't understand
    sky diving either, but some people want
    their adrenaline kicks so bad that they
    don't care if their parachute malfunctions
    and they will die!

    It's your body, it's your mind, feel free
    to do as you please...

    All major top sport stars do dope.

    Methods might be illegal, borderline illegal or currently allowed.

    Worst part: some biggest stars have a proven history that they have been too big to fall.

    - Agassi in his own book with meth
    - Carl Lewis with later confession of his hidden substance use of 1988 Olympic trials
    - Ricky Bruch (discus WR thrower who after career revealed an easy method to cheat in all steroids' tests) - he was later career open with his steroid use, but never caught in tests.

    This is what you believe, but you can't say all top stars do dope without having something that supports this claim.

    When we use word "dope", we mean illegal substances, so anything else isn't considered doping and shouldn't be used to make such statement.

    Of course I think the same like you at times but I know there is no proof that supports this and I opt to believe we have an efficient working system.

    Illegal for what sense? for medical purposes there already are tons of exclusions starting from asthmatic cure.

    I couldn't care less that all top pro athletes are doping. In fact, I think it should be legalized. It's absolutely impossible that these players could be doing what they're doing without some medical assistance.

    If you really look into it, you'll see a lot of people in the know have made comments implying that all the top players use PEDS. Noah Rubin(a retired tennis pro) is one of many. He made a comment on social media now that he's retired that said something
    to the effect--don't get me started on how prevalent PED use is in pro tennis.

    I've posted about it before but we have a friend who is an agent in NY for a lot of sports stars and he said it's a dirty secret that all top pro athletes dope. It's a given in the high-pressure environments they're competing in. The corporate execs in
    those industries don't want this fact to be common knowledge in the public arena for obvious reasons($$$$$$$!) I'd be more shocked if you told me top player X "doesn't" dope.

    Agassi may or may not be a jerk and attention-seeker but his book is one of the best-selling sports books of all time and what he said about his own failed drug test being covered up due to possible detrimental financial implications is only the tip of
    the iceberg.

    Anybody who doesn't see this fact must be stupid IMO.

    There is a list of illegal substances, and athletes get tested regularly for violations.
    When you say all of them dope, you are simply saying that we have fake system in place and whether they were found to be doping or not, it's all a big show.
    I definitely fully disagree.
    No, I say : all top ones do everything: they enter "grey area " for sure, do they forward further? dunno....

    There is a fake system: big ones DO not get caught or revealed unless systematic violations. Too much money involved (see Agassi meth - example, they personally informed Agassi first and nothing in public breaking their own rules).

    .mikko
    There is a list, forbidden list, if you consider anything else that isn't in the list to be in the grey area, then it's fine, no rules are broken and this is far from what you said "all of them dope".

    Also, regarding Agassi, he is a jerk and attention seeker, clearly.
    Agassi may or may not be a jerk and attention-seeker but his book is one of the best-selling sports books of all time and what he said about his own failed drug test being covered up due to possible detrimental financial implications is only the tip of
    the iceberg.

    Anybody who doesn't see this fact must be stupid IMO.

    Halep and Sharapova did something wrong that made ITF
    and ATP angry. Maybe they got too greedy? So they were
    sacrificed as example cases. The money pigs sent a
    message to the other players, essentially saying:

    "Obey us or this will happen to you too".

    And most of them will obey, since they know they

    I couldn't care less that all top pro athletes are doping. In fact, I think it should be legalized. It's absolutely impossible that these players could be doing what they're doing without some medical assistance.

    If you really look into it, you'll see a lot of people in the know have made comments implying that all the top players use PEDS. Noah Rubin(a retired tennis pro) is one of many. He made a comment on social media now that he's retired that said
    something to the effect--don't get me started on how prevalent PED use is in pro tennis.

    I've posted about it before but we have a friend who is an agent in NY for a lot of sports stars and he said it's a dirty secret that all top pro athletes dope. It's a given in the high-pressure environments they're competing in. The corporate execs in
    those industries don't want this fact to be common knowledge in the public arena for obvious reasons($$$$$$$!) I'd be more shocked if you told me top player X "doesn't" dope.

    so how come Lance Armstrong and Sharapova and now Halep got done?

    No, I don't like conspiracy theories at all. Maybe
    1 out of 10 000 conspiracy theories is correct. Maybe
    even less?

    Other people have already mentioned The Andre Agassi
    Scandal. For some unknown reason, he got caught using
    doping, but the money pigs swept this nasty fact away.

    Agassi was a perfect frontman for Nike's Rock 'N Roll
    tennis. As a teenager, I bought Nike's Agassi shirts
    and Nike's Agassi tennis shoes, but I did not ever
    buy Donnay racquets. I loved rock 'n roll *and*
    tennis, so combining them and marketing it with
    Agassi was a genius move by Nike.

    So when Agassi failed doping tests, the money pigs
    wanted Agassi to have a clean image so that his
    hero status would not get stained. He was too big
    a star to fall.

    It is the same nowadays. The top tennis professionals
    are all using doping. I have no problem with it. Let
    them compete and be the versions of themselves.

    There is a fake system: big ones DO not get caught or revealed unless systematic violations. Too much money involved (see Agassi meth - example, they personally informed Agassi first and nothing in public breaking their own rules).

    .mikko
    There is a list, forbidden list, if you consider anything else that isn't in the list to be in the grey area, then it's fine, no rules are broken and this is far from what you said "all of them dope".

    Also, regarding Agassi, he is a jerk and attention seeker, clearly. >> Agassi may or may not be a jerk and attention-seeker but his book is one of the best-selling sports books of all time and what he said about his own failed drug test being covered up due to possible detrimental financial implications is only the
    tip of the iceberg.

    Anybody who doesn't see this fact must be stupid IMO.

    oh yes crystal meth is such a performance booster, if you want to play like a zombie the next day perhaps you'd take meth, this is just Mikko being funny!
    Hey, man, get real! The Finnish war veterans have
    told that a strong pill of meth would wake up even
    a dead person. It is a huge performance booster indeed.

    Agassi was often on meth when he played tennis. It
    helped him immensely on court.
    So did Brooke :-)

    no, it's fake news, he wasn't some meth addict from Breaking Bad, you pair of Marxist maroons! he wrote in his book that he tried taking crystal meth one weekend and then failed a drugs test and they let him off cos it was the 90's and back then nobody
    cared, Lance Armstrong hadn't been busted unlike nowadays.
