Just watched Rafa have another Super Human performance, the last time anyone dominated a French event like this was a Lance Armstrong.....
I have been a fan of tennis and played for 30 plus years, I know how tough a sport it is, as a matter of fact I think they are the best athletes in the world BUT... in this day of "Better Living Through Chemistry" I'm really wondering about how they test these guys???? Blood Doping, Steroids, Testasterone, Human Growth Hormone?? do they test for all? and when?
Anyone else a fan or Thoughts???
