Life, friends, is boring

Tennis is disgustingly doped, which is probably because the head of the ITF's anti-doping program constantly says that tennis is skill-based, and doping would not help at all. Meanwhile, Spain (who have a national doping problem) keeps getting better and better, and the average age of tournament winners keeps climbing and climbing, since doping has historically helped athletes stay competitive past their natural primes. Of course, if you ask tennis fans about this, their conclusion is that the next generation of players is just really bad.


The big 4 are almost certainly doped, and Rafa Nadal is the most obviously doped athlete since Lance Armstrong.

No, you see, his "athletic style of play" simply takes a toll on his body, that's why he's constantly injured and has to retreat to his home base to drink some milkshakes, so he can return a couple of weeks later and win another 50 matches in a row.

This thread is a good idea. Great stuff, OP.

My favorite part about tennis is the part where they think it isnt mostly a stamina based sport

It's two people hitting a small yellow ball with unbelievable accuracy and power for 2 to 5 hours, often in the blazing sun. What would stamina have to do with that?! Here's a replay of an awesome lob. All skill.

This Bundesliga story kinda got overlooked, but a doctor found evidence of systematic blood doping and the authorities did gently caress all. http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/report-by-team-doctor-suggests-blood-doping-in-german-football-league-a-919563.html

Nothing to see here, football is a skill based sport. This isn't the Tour de France! Now look at this beautiful header by this beautiful and clean athlete.
