The Eugenie Bouchard vs. Maria Sharapova thing could actually be good for women's tennis right now.

good in the sense of keeping eyes and interest on the sport.

Especially with Serena and Vika out on maternity leave. (www.telegraph.co.uk)

I've always adored Sharapova, but Bouchard's right. She shouldn't be allowed to play again. -- nm - David May 10, 09:40 12
- much less had her suspension shortened and then granted tons of wild cards entries to tournaments and not have to work her way back up. -- nm - Diva May 10, 09:46
- Meh, she suffered a suspension -- lifetime is far too serious -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 09:44 10
  - The sports community is either serious about PEDs or it's not. Tennis isn't. -- nm - David May 10, 09:50 7
    - Neither is baseball then -- nm - JD May 10, 09:50 6
      - They weren't. They thankfully have gotten better. -- nm - David May 10, 09:54
      - baseball has the best testing of any of the sports. -- nm - groiny May 10, 09:51 4
        
        Ok. But the penalties don't seem to work. There also seems to be some fan apathy to those who get caught - JD May 10, 09:57 3
        
        that's because so much of America is fat too. This is only sort of a joke. -- nm - Diva May 10, 09:58 2
        
        Alright but younger players who have only played under the testing rules should be dissuaded if the penalties worked. So why Dee Gordon? - JD May 10, 10:02 1
        
        hey man - I don't agree or disagree. just pointing out why some folks seem not to care much. -- nm - Diva May 10, 10:09
  - which should have been 24 months but was shortened to 15 because she's Maria Sharapova and f*ck everybody else who didn't take PEDs -- nm - Diva May 10, 09:48
  - remind me what she did? -- nm - groiny May 10, 09:45
Hmmmmm -- nm - prayformojo May 10, 09:27
