Naggy Girlfriend (WADA) Is Hurt By The Complaints

Bitch, please.

WADA boss "disappointed" by criticism from Nadal, Murray


Madrid - John Fahey, chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), admitted he was 'surprised' and 'disappointed' by the criticism he got recently from top tennis players Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray concerning new rules to locate sportsmen for testing.

Wow. Like, really? You're surprised that players are retaliating to the complete lack of privacy WADA is demanding from them? And the unreasonable 3 strikes and you're out rule, blown tires notwithstanding?
"So it's a little disappointing to see this sort of comment, after the knowledge of this change has been around now since the decision was taken in Madrid in November 2007. And I can only presume, as I said, that the players who are saying these things do not have all the information,' the Australian said.

I think the fact that WADA officials insists to watch players pee in the cup is quite a lot of information. What's that you say? The players are outraged by something they don't have the full information of? Why of course. Because they're athletes, they don't even bother to find complete and comprehensive info about something as invasive and important as this. So when they do read the pamphletes/memo/vellum, they're most certainly, 100% will agree to this rule? Ugh. *clutches head*
Fahey advised Nadal and Murray to listen to their colleague Roger Federer, who supports the new rule 'wholeheartedly and has said so publicly.'

Patronizing much?
'It's interesting that it's those people who are at the elite level sometimes who complaint about it being a bit difficult. It's not the athletes in sports that don't pay much money, where they can't afford to have managers and secretaries and other people to make arrangements for them, including to notify their whereabouts,' Fahey said.

Oh god. Just read the article. It's hell to my blood pressure.

  2. I'm not going to read the article. If it;s bad for your blood pressure. . .well, I'm older than you. Prolly more unstable in the ticker, so I'll give it a miss.
    I think it's going too far. I mean, they're not saying they won't test. Holy crap.
