Yes, it would be highly surprising if any tennis player was getting away with it. - Callisto Feb 4, 08:24 4
- why? there are track stars getting away with it and there's probably more money in tennis -- nm - zork Feb 4, 08:26 3
  - Because the testing is so rigorous that it would show up. - Callisto Feb 4, 08:27 2
    - zork might be suggesting scientific workarounds to the testing. But even then, it might be considered too risky. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 08:30 1
      - Right, even with the workarounds, I've read that their ability to go back and test again makes this unlikely, too. -- nm - Callisto Feb 4, 08:33
Wasn't Martina Navraitola accused of steroids (at least by players) at one time? I sorta remember something like that - flavorize Feb 4, 08:18 1
- and hopped up raquets that weren't available 20 years ago. -- nm - zork Feb 4, 08:20
except if your Andre Agassi and doing Meth (nm) - decline Feb 4, 08:14 2
- but he swore it wasn't his fault! -- nm - Beaker Feb 4, 08:17
- and I believe it was a different system then. -- nm - Dano Feb 4, 08:15
