Hello, Elle!
Fine day here and the forecast is good!
The article I read about Miss Hingis, stated she received a two year ban from Wimbledon, which I thought a bit suspicious.
Surely a ban would come from a tennis authority?
Now drug taking in sport is very complex as well as very common. My knowledge of it is insufficient to make an informed opinion, though I am dead against cheats.
The main reason I abandoned watching professional football, where there is no integrity, and constant cheating from the first whistle. It is accepted now, though. I do not accept professional football as a sport.
Others may, not me.
What I have read, and I am open to be corrected by a knowledgeable person. Someone who takes steroids during training will keep the muscle gain etc for good.
So, should a former steroid user compete against a clean athlete. Not, for me. There is a huge industry making programmes for athletes in most sports, to keep them just on the safe side of the dope testers.
I am trying to visualise Monica Seles, but can't.
My brain sees Maureen Connolly!! Thank you, Kenyatta for putting me right.
And you never heard of Queen Esther Marrow!!!
Me either. I do know the Harlem Globetrotters and Sweet Georgia Brown though!
Elle, it is perfectly OK to trill a pleasant "good morning" in the direction of the hawthorn tree...but no gallumphing!
