So long Masha!

[Russian Rocket]

Sharapova hasn't beaten Serena since 2004. 2-19 lifetime. But dumbfukk rocket thinks Sharapova is better.

show me where I've said that she's better in tennis?


I know that you're mad for all that recent burial that you've received, but at least try make a little sense when you type shit here

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Russia has produced a couple of hot tennis players

Yeah. But this is not one of them.

[manny24]

Yeah. But this is not one of them.

nice looking checkbook tho Dangles imagine the parlays she will be able to put down skin

[jjgold]

One of the greatest competitors the sport has ever seen

[Ralphie Halves]

So help us move forward here Sasha, who's the next Russian tennis chippie we get to gurk it to for the next 10 years?

Wins and net worth, blah blah blah don't care. My dick wants answers now!!

[Russian Rocket]

most Russian up and coming stars are still under age, so I won't be posting any pix here


but my eye is set on this French broad...she's 23 and kinda too old to make a splash in the big arena




and also this Russian girl, ranked#230...she just turned 19 in Feb and still has time to develop into something good and maybe crack TOP100 or better...

Thought I Saw a double take of Maria Kirilenko there haha
What are their names?

[Jeff_Black]

Tbh in regards to whatever legacy she has I reckon most girls on the tour would love to have her career. Won each slam at least once and got to be number 1 in the world.
But it probably stays at that. In an era where players like Sam Stosur, Flavia Pennetta, Marion Bartoli, and freaking Dinara Safina was able to become number 1 in the world and make a few slam finals I dunno, there was some times in those pre shoulder injury years where I felt she could have won more slams.
But it's been the weakest era in women's tennis since the turn of the millennium so it's hard to judge anyone who's turned pronafter that.

yeah you're right...she kind of looks like Kirilenko

Ohh shit...she failed the drug test!!!

They've added a new drug to the banned list on Jan 1st of this year...the drug that she was taking for 10 years...and she didn't know about it.

[Bcatswin]

Cheater!

[CanuckG]

[Russian Rocket]

the doctors should have known...if she was taking this meds for 10 years without problem, it's easy to make a mistake

[CanuckG]

She should have known too. As she just stated. She'll be back in a year.

[MUHerd37]

Meldonium. Doesn't sound that bad. Not legal in the U.S.

[sweep]

Dirty slag

[Russian Rocket]

She should have known too. As she just stated. She'll be back in a year.

yeah it's her fault also...but someone should keep an eye on those things for her...like her doctors, if the change the list of banned substances as of Jan 1st, someone needs to tell her about it.


the break probably will be good for her anyways

[Bcatswin]

Where is jj at now backing her?

[w@lt]

Classy way to handle situation. Taking full responsibility. It seems like something like this shouldn't happen with such a big time athlete; she should have known, and the doctors/trainers that she's probably paying a shit ton of money should be aware of these things also. Nothing more she can do about it, handling it the right way.

[Russian Rocket]

Where is jj at now backing her?

why would you stop backing her now if she was treating a chronic condition for over 10 years and it was OK to take it up until this year?

settle down - we're not talking EPO here

[t-wizzle]

So she's been juicing and still couldn't beat Serena. Lol.

exactly...she did the right thing here

Right. It just became banned this year. I'm not holding this against her much at all, other than the fact that she and/or her team should have known this drug became banned

[habitualwinning]

I'll only say one bad thing about Maria, she's aged horribly. I just looked up how old she was, my guess was 33 or 34, she's 28! Ouch. She looks almost 40 to me. Must be that Chernobyl or something. Good thing she's got all that money for the plastic surgery and makeup she'll need when she actually is 40. I'll never forget those grunt battles she had with Serena over the years. "Uggh....Unnnn.... Uggggggghhh.... Unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!" It always seemed like it was more about who could squeal louder versus who actually won the point with those two. Like some kind of sexual frustration played out on a tennis court. Somewhere there are some guys that got busted by their wives/gfs/parents for watching porn when all they were doing was watching a women's tennis match between Serena and Maria.

Then whats the big deal if it wasnt illegal till now. Why need the whole conference the last 10 years should have not even been talked about. Confused. But get what your saying.

Cats, I think she did the right thing by sharing this info with public

She's a pro-athlete with a big fan base...so things like this need to be discussed in the open.

If you ask me, it's no big deal at all...and I'm just glad she's not retiring because of her injuries.

[Russian Rocket]

totally agree with you

[compaqDikk]

god i want to give this bitch a golden shower with my steroid laced urine and teach her a lesson

[CanuckG]

See ya Nike

[Dirty Sanchez]

If I was her I would start doing porn

[frugalgambler]

Because she is facing a minimum 2 year suspension, 4 years if proven she was "doping" on purpose. Because she is making a ton of money from endorsements, and she wants to at least retain some hope to keep some of those humongous contracts.

Have you seen what it does?

* Decreased levels of lactate and urea in blood

* Improved economy of glycogen: level of glycogen increased in the cells during the long-lasting exercise

* Increased endurance properties and aerobic capabilities of athletes

* Improved functional parameters of heart activity

* Increased physical work capabilities

* Increased rate of recovery after maximal and sub-maximal loads

And there is evidence that WADA knew this drug was being abused by athletes at least as early as 2015.

In a recent article on the drug, performance athlete Jake Shelley wrote that Meldonium is an anti-ischaemic drug used clinically to treat angina, myocardial infarction and chronic heart failure. It is manufactured in Latvia under the commercial name of Mildronate and is one of the countries largest exports, with turnover reaching EUR 65 million in 2013.

Sports fans are being asked to believe Maria Sharapova took a substance known to enhance endurance performance for reasons other than the desire to enhance endurance performance.
