Maria Sharapova's lawyer has blasted WADA chief Craig Reedie for making remarks about the five-times grand slam champion at a conference in London on Monday and said the Russian tennis player was owed an apology.

"Justice, whether in the eyes of WADA or a court, must be blind, including being blind to a player's earnings," Maria's lawyer Haggerty said in a statement.

This is new... in the hearing it was made clear how much of a hit Maria would take financially as part of the defence plea. I guess it doesn't work both ways in the eyes of Mr Haggerty.

She is stupid. It's the Meldo wot made her an idiot. Only a moron would run a doping regime with her dad getting pills and no look at the WADA list and no time to clear it from her body. She deserve wot she got coz she is dumb. If you gonna cheat, at least do it properly. Anyone who gets caught is stupid.

^Lol! Personally I can't stand her, but my goodness.. she's a looker. You don't have to be nice to be beautiful. Sometimes it makes you more alluring if you're a bit nasty :D

What! That alluring part is spoken like a true man. I don't see it at all. They did this episode on TTC before she got big and I thought, why are they marketing this girl so much. It'll never work, LOL!

Well, I definitely learned something today from some men's perspectives. Nasty can be alluring. I might would try that if I wanted a man. As it stands, I'm done!!! LOL!

Maria wants apology from WADA chief . This time it looks like she has a point. The WADA chief made stupid remark.

The funny things is that one of the arguments put forward by their lawyer in her defense in front of the tribunal is that even with a small amount of ban time, the consequences will be large for her, she being a top ranked player and highest paid female athlete in the world. After that did not work,
now they are playing "justice must be blind to the money of the player". They want to have it both ways.

Having said that WADA chief could have been diplomatic, at least until the CAS verdict comes out.

Actually WADA has not chosen to appeal the verdict given by the tribunal and so they are not a direct party involved, neither in the appeal case nor in the appear. They just did the testing, that's all. Hence, it is tough to imagine that Meldopova can get mileage out of WADA chief's stupidity.

That ruling does not directly affect Dominatrix. That automatic ban is applied to track and field athletes only.

What happened to the Maria like wot she was before she got loads of money and doped up to the eyeballs and turned into a robotic moron by the drugs ? She used to be nice and kind and sweet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onjoQeFnvWg

Now she's a stuck-up cow and drug taker.

She got corrupted by money and drugs.

  1. As we all know that two year ban is under appeal.
  2. tennis is a sport and is not a track and field event.

Having said that, I don't think Meldopova will be allowed to go to Rio as her ban won't get reduced that substantially, even if it were reduced.

But she did not have tests showing a blood flow problem to the heart. She was not referred to a cardiologist for heart tests. It was claimed she took the Meldo to prevent heart problems due to the magnesium deficiency, as a precaution.
He got that wrong. http://www.10sballs.com/2016/06/23/reedies-sharapova-comments-a-disgrace-by-richard-evans/
