McVeigh backs Sharapova: "It was just vitamins"

[SwampCreature]

From abc.com.au

Former Essendon veteran Mark McVeigh has moved to dispel reports Maria Sharapova used illegal supplements for almost a decade, despite the tennis superstar admitting to doing so in front of world media.

The 232-gamer, who played his entire career at Windy Hill, told Melbourne's SEN radio that he never had any concerns about the supplements Sharapova, whom he has never met, took.

"I can honestly tell you that everything she took - and I can speak on her behalf obviously - I knew 100 per cent that it was within the WADA doping regulations," he said. "And was vitamins anyway. Vitamins. She is so brave and vitamins."

McVeigh was then quoted saying former teamate Kyle Reimers was a "snitch campaigner", before being dragged away from journalists and sedated, screaming intelligibly about standing "by Hird", "big Jezza Cameron" and "vitamins".

They weren't even waivers, they were consent forms. If Kyle was ever awake in a team meeting he would have known this.

If it was anybody but mcveigh I'd call this bullshit.

Kyle can't read anyway.

First thing I remembered when I heard the news of Sharapova was the story of when drug testers visited Serena Williams' house, and she freaked out so badly she locked herself in her panic room. No way can any woman build a body like hers without chemical assistance, so its hard to blame Sharapova for taking a risk because she wants to compete on a level playing field.

As I'm sure posters like blackcat & RussellEbertHandball would agree, and they could also talk about Nadal & so many others.

If anyone knows misunderstood athletes, its Spike M'Vein..

What's the bet that the WTA knew about this but covered it up.....

 

[Northworth]

The real scandal with Sharapova is that Andrew Demetriou rang her manager to say that she had been caught.

Lynch Andy D!!!

Was the product only banned last year? If so, it probably gives you **** all enhancement. I'll stand by her and she can rest her head on my shoulder.

 

[Doss]

Spike would say just about anything. Just like half your lecture.

 

[Tiger2709]

She had more balls than the Essendon 34 at least she admitted that she screwed up.

 

[big bootaaaaah]

So....she's a squealer

Half the women's tennis tour looks like they're on the vitamins, just like half your lecture.

But sweep shots don't count, just like the other half of your lecture.

Don't tag Blackcat here! He might mention Ollie Wines in the same sentence as PEDs and I'll have a dozen new reports to handle from enraged Pufferfish!

Srs q Starburns. Is the rate of button mashing high or low on the bay, compared to elsewhere?

I reckon there'd be some great stats on button mashing on BF that would paint some pretty cool pictures.

I's guess that 'foreigner' posts on team boards would attract the most, especially on precious boards like Ess, Carl and Norf.

HTB would get a lot prob, then maybe main board? SRP?
