Talk About Tennis 2.0

Sounds like a balanced parent. The good kind.

This is making the rounds of Tennis Twitter but as you see there are questions about its veracity.

If true, very glad to hear that her parents stood firmly with her and helped her break out of the abusive environment. Hope she heals fast

How can I say abusive without saying abusive. ^

So basically all the criticism that had been leveled at Vukov two years ago now being acknowledged more broadly.

How everyone (the adults) around them didn't interject strongly enough always baffles me. This will happen again, and again.

But, what is the source of the info?

What we've all seen and heard.

This is precisely what we all suspected, and feared..
Me and your daughter @ti-amie

I don't know what Tatarkova's relationship with Rybakina is but she (Tatrkova) is very close with a lot of Russian speaking players, I would trust this to a decent extent, even if not first-hand.

There's this specific lack of shame of abusive behavior in public all the abusive types possess.

Yes, part of the personality of psychopaths

I don't think "all" abusive types possess this. Plenty of people I'd known who turned out to be verbally and emotionally abusive were sweethearts in public.

Who do you all think is behind really grinding the ax on Sinner and his positive tests? Players Union, A National federation, someone high up in the ATP who feels embarassed?

WADA statement on New York Times article

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) notes today’s New York Times article alleging that anti -doping data related to athletes going to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games may not have been properly reviewed by WADA prior to the Games.

Despite WADA having provided the New York Times with the facts, the article contains allegations that are simply wrong. They stem from leaked information connected to an internal technical WADA meeting held in May 2024, between the Agency’s Legal Affairs and IT Departments, concerning data being migrated from an old Results Management system [called LRM] into a new system [called RMC]. The May meeting was held to discuss the difficulties with the migration and issues that the Legal Affairs Department was having in navigating the RMC and finding the data within it. 

Contrary to what the New York Times alleges, the technical challenges faced by this data migration did not have any negative impact whatsoever on the Paris 2024 Olympic or Paralympic Games. The complete data was accessible at all times and all data related to athletes going to Paris were properly reviewed by WADA.

All data was still up to date and housed within the old system, LRM, as well as in the Anti-Doping Administration Management System [ADAMS]. For the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, using a combination of RMC, LRM and ADAMS, all the data from those athletes on the Olympic and Paralympic Games shortlists were thoroughly reviewed. Both the LRM and RMC are internal systems designed to assist Legal Affairs in its Results Management work – the data available in those systems come from ADAMS and also include all information received from Results Management Authorities by Legal Affairs. 

As was the situation with the New York Time’s reporting on the Chinese swimming cases, instead of following the facts, it has once again opted to be misled by sources with questionable motives as part of a defamation campaign against WADA.
