Reading up on this company makes one think Novax is being taken for a ride. Dr Darren Saunders, an Australian biomedical scientist,in his opinion says it was “a stretch” for QuantBioRes to call itself a biotech company. “The ‘innovative technology’ they describe on their website does not reflect contemporary understanding of how biochemistry works,” Saunders said. “If any athletes or other potential investors would like advice on not blowing their cash on this stuff, my fees are reasonable.”
He is not being taken for a ride. He believes in quackery. Let us not forget that BS IG Live he had early on in the pandemic with that "guru" where he was talking about how happy thoughts can change polluted water or whatever.

He is one of those "smart" people that know more than anybody else. The Rodgers, Irvings, and most of my friends that simply have no BS detection kit.

Jack Sock has it. Had to withdraw from the quarterfinal of the challenger he was playing.

This was reported already, but interesting that the BBC published a new article yesterday delving more deeply into questions about that test:

Thanks for posting MJ. It'll be interesting to see if he winds up playing the French. There's been growing confidence in the last week that he'll be able to play the French unvaccinated because of when he tested positive for covid and there being a waiver of the new law with a recent covid test, which appears to be defined as within 6 months. If that holds true and he doesn't play at the French, that'll be a huge signal that he doesn't want that covid test looked into that closely. Seems like exposing a fake test or altering dates on a real test for him could be an even bigger international incident than the what happened in Australia.

Will he "sustain" a minor injury ahead of the French while practicing that clears up in time to play at Wimbledon? I wouldn't be remotely surprised.

How is he going to be exposed? People around the world can question it all day long, but with Serbian officials backing him, there's going to be no way to prove anything conclusively. And the French authorities are not likely to be as motivated as the Australians were to prevent him from entering the country. I predict he will be allowed to play at the French. There will of course be noise on the subject but it will amount to nothing.

If he is allowed to play the French, i think will be in a little bubble. Won’t be able to move freely around Paris. And he’ll deal with it. He wants that record.

Theoretically, a journalist who speaks the language could find a source or pay for some leaked documents. I’m sure many people have a price.

We need the rest of the exemption categories, but unless there's something for fully unvaccinated players, Djokovic isn't playing RG. (Although evidently there's a rumor that he's going to get the vaccination.)

For those who don't want to click through: If you aren't fully vaccinated, you can't come without an exemption. The only exemption visible in the photo is "have received one shot of J&J more than two months ago but haven't received a European—" then it cuts off. And if you get an exemption, you are confined to the tournament site, hotel, and cars, with "one jog per day." Same applies to 2 team members max and they have to be accredited coaches, therapists, etc. No spouses or family.

Many countries in EU are going in the direction of abolishing all mandates and restrictions. Maybe France too by the time RG come around.
