Troicki and Cilic are most likely only playing follow the leaders...trying to get a leg up. Leveling the playing field.

The doping issues are creeping into our awareness. This is a brave young man, Gianluigi Quinzi...he is still an idealist. I wonder how long before he succumbs to the machine.

The Cilic story has still n ot been verified from a credible source. I'd be surprised if it was true. Having met and spoken with Cilic he is a very well spoken and mature individual. He comes from good stock as well. Apparently, reports are there was an "overabundance of glucose" in his system.

The Viktor Troicki story is even stranger. While he was in Monte Carlo, before leaving the tournament he was in purser's office to pick up his tourney check of 30,000 euros, he was with his coach when a doping agent approached and asked for a test. Troicki willingly gave a urine sample (which tested negative) but he asked for an extension on a blood test since he was not feeling well that day. The doping agent obliged and said "ok, that's fine, we can do it tomorrow" Somehow, The breakdown of communication allowed the authorities to claim that Troicki refused the test and therefore will be suspended 18 months.

Seems a bit strange that a doping agent would allow this as I'm sure there are strict protocols regarding testing procedures. Where did this story about his response to Troicki come from?

Yes, some sharp comments from Quinzi. He talks of recovery times. I remember being disturbed by Novak's response to his epic, nearly six-hour victory over Nadal in Australia 2012. Rather than fall to the ground from exhaustion he ripped his shirt off like Hulk Hogan circa 1985. Quite disturbing as it seemed utterly incongruous with the moment and the historical response to that type of moment.

As years of baseball viewing have taught me, when we start routinely describing the feats of athletes as "superhuman" and "unbelievable", well, they probably are.

It came from Troicki and his coach. I, along with a colleague of mine who is from Serbia and personally knows many of the Serb players talked with them last Thursday over the phone regarding other business matters. The conversation turned into the doping allegations as the news was hitting at that time. Troicki admits to refusing a blood test but says if agent pushed him then he would have had no choice but to take it. Agent was accommodating but either did not inform higher officials or Troicki did not. Either way, it stinks.

Where there is smoke...Cilic, Troicki and Alex Rodriguez

As years of baseball viewing have taught me, when we start routinely describing the feats of athletes as "superhuman" and "unbelievable", well, they probably are.

Yeah dimitrios...where there is smoke there is usually fire, isn't there?

Well the bad news in the smoke emanating from Major League Baseball these days is that 13 players have been ensnared in their own web of lies, deceit and cheating. Sounds like a juicy love affair doesn't it? A love affair of needles and narcism. The good news is...well there isn't any really. Unless you consider that MLB is not the only sport infected. They all are. Every single one of them. Without a doubt. There is no such thing as a "clean" sport anymore. It is us and them...cheaters and noncheaters.

Alex Rodriguez...says, "I'm fighting for my life." Actually what he really means is he is fighting for his lifestyle. He will live of course...unless he cannot give up on the lavish way that he has been living his life the past 18 years or so and ends up killing himself for the love of money and material things. Imagine making 27.5 million dollars a year. After a few years of that kind of living even I would start believing my own lies and believing that somehow it was owed to me. He speaks of a difficult hip surgery, rehab and being 38 years old. Oh no...woe is him!

He is not alone in this struggle for his "existence". He has 12 other partners in crime that will soon find out what it is like to be "mortalized". These pompous assholes making a king's ransom to play children's games and act like they are doing us some kind of service. They actually are doing a service...they distract the masses of sheeple as to what the reality of the situation really is on a national and international level. Why else would the elites tolerate their immortal demands in terms of money and tolerance for their behavior?

These morons serve to distract. I am curious to how they will fare out there in reality if they are faced with finding a job...heaven forbid they will ever actually have to work for a living. While the masses of middle class Americans have been facing their existential moment the past 35 years courtesy of being sold out by the traitorous politicians and corrupt political system, these million dollar babies have been feeding and profiting off of our distress signals. A-Rod is fighting for his life...no I don't think so. Fighting for your life is losing your 45,000 dollar a year job and trying to feed the kids. Anybody feel sorry for Alex Rodriguez? Not me...he made his bed. I hope that he stashed a lot of cash in the mattress. These idiots live and spend it like kings...without that paycheck he could be broke in a year...even less.

The truth of the matter is that these 13 baseball players are the tip of the ice berg in a profession that is full of cheaters. It might be a simpler question to ask who is not cheating. A-Rod is sixth on the list of all time home run hitters. How are the record books going to deal with this little anomaly.

So there are a couple of tennis players that are facing the music here...Cilic and Troicki. One of the top ranked juniors is singing already. He is wondering about the credibility of the current King of Tennis...Novak Djokovic. Out loud and in public. It's just a little smoke, isn't it? Who's who? It is a shell game. It's hide and seek. Na na na na na! Drug addicts are all alike. It's fun to get away with it...that is, until you get caught.

Working stiffs around the world gradually are having the noose tightened around their collective necks while these "athlete entertainers" jockey for position in the food chain using needles and designer drugs to enhance their performances...thus their paychecks. Detection? Why bother? Once you start detecting you have to start explaining. Lie upon lie. It wasn't major league baseball that detected these cheaters anyways...it was a whistle blower. Uh oh...could there be some connection between this fairy tale and the virtual reality that we are living in?

1984. Check out the double speak throughout the stories. See if you can sort it out.
