导出博客文章Its a malaise as old as sport itself. In the wake of recent revelations,
following a Russian cyber espionage group making athlete drug testing
information public, the question of what qualifies as an unfair advantage in
sport has yet again surfaced.Rafael Nadal,who is known to have a strong view on
the matter, asserted that sport should be clean and look clean. He said, Its
terrible news. We cannot though believe an agency which is outside our
anti-doping programme.Hackers, nicknamed Fancy Bears, leaked drug records which
suggest that Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Simone Biles and a host of other
athletes have been using Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) drugs. The WADA though
was quick to confirm that the athletes had been granted TUEs by the concerned
sports federation and national anti-doping organisations.TUE certificate allows
an athlete to use an otherwise banned substance with the intent of aiding a
genuine medical condition. The leaks raises doubts over the provision being more
abused than used.Personally, I know how hard the controls are. We are obligated
to inform every single day of the year where we are and set aside one hour of
each day for anti-doping control, Nadal added.Tired of being accused of doping,
Nadal had written to the International Tennis Federation president earlier this
year, asking for all his drug-test results and blood profile records to be made
public.All sportspersons who believe in the spirit of the game, want to compete
against other clean sportspersons. I believe in the anti-doping programme 100
per cent. If people are not doing the right things, they dont deserve to be part
of the world of sport, he said.

.Y. - General manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets are looking to add a big
man and confirmed the team worked out centre Jason Collins, who would become the
first openly gay active NBA player if signed.
Pat
Tillman Jersey . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey
Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of
focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his
struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step
of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the
players himself.
Christian
Kirk Cardinals Jersey .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and
again in the shootout as the St. The Denver Nuggets were cruising as they hit
the midpoint of their six-game road trip Thursday. They had built a healthy lead
over the Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center on Wednesday with the ball
moving around the perimeter and finding open shooters.The well slowly dried up.
The ball movement stopped as Washington upped its defense. The lead quickly
disappeared. The Nuggets looked like they ran out of gas, fatigue killing the
teams spacing and ball movement as the Wizards found that last bit of
energy.Denver scored just 12 points in the fourth quarter, seeing a two-point
deficit balloon to a 92-85 loss on the road. The Nuggets had just 33 points in
the second half and committed a league-high 29 turnovers this season. As the
game wore on, Denver saw the energy that built them as much as a 14-point lead
evaporate. Their sharpness and precision whittled away.There are repercussions
to not being ready to play (Wednesday night), Nuggets coach Michael Malone told
Christopher Dempsey of The Denver Post. Back-to-backs are always tough, but when
you have to dig so deep to make it a three-point game late (Wednesday) night,
they jumped on us in that second half. You could see our pace slow down, we
missed free throws, we missed open shots, and thats what fatigue does to you.So
is the energy-sucking reality of a road trip.The Nuggets will head to Orlando on
Saturday for their fifth game on a six-game road trip that has taken them from
Utah to the East Coast. It is Denvers fifth game in nine days. Adding in all the
travel, it is an exhausting set.The Magic know all too well the rigors of
travel. Saturday represents the ending to one of the most difficult stretches
they will see this season.Orlando returned home from a five-game road trip
Wednesday in a loss to the Boston Celtics. The Celtics, like the Wizarrds did to
the Nuggets, blew the doors open in the second half, outscoring the Magic by 31
points for a 117-87 win.dddddddddddd. It was a disappointing and frustrating
moment for a Magic team that won four of five games on that road trip.As dutiful
players, no one would blame fatigue for the blowout loss at home.I dont think
that should be an excuse as far as us coming off a back-to-back, Bismack
Biyombo. Everyone is playing back-to-backs. There are a lot of teams winning
back-to-backs. We have to be responsible and handle our business. We have to
find a way to get back to playing our game, trust the next guy, do the right
thing and set the right screens and get back to being the team we want to
be.Undoubtedly, though, fatigue played a role. The team just completed an
eight-day, five-game road trip that ended with a back-to-back at home against
the Celtics. That would make six games in nine days, an incredibly brutal
stretch.And the last game of that road trip began the Magics only stretch of
four games in five nights. Orlando completes that stretch with Saturdays game
against the Denver Nuggets, making for eight games in 12 days. That is about as
jammed a schedule as any team in the NBA will have for any stretch.That fatigue
and that exhaustion got tested in Charlotte as Orlando fell 109-88. In the
process, the Magic may have lost three key players to injury. Bismack Biyombo
(shoulder), Nikola Vucevic (knee) and Jeff Green (ankle) all left during the
game because of injuries.By the time Saturday comes around though, the Magic may
very well be exhausted. So too might the Denver Nuggets with how their schedule
is playing out.The schedule, though, does not wait for any team. ' ' '
