Hot on the heels of Richard Gasquet's kiss-and-tell cocaine drama comes word of an investigation into Tamira Paszek's medical treatment earlier this month which allegedly violates anti-doping rules..
The Austrian lady baller, who has been struggling with chronic back issues, received blood that had been taken for enrichment and then later injected which is not allowed.
The 18-year old alerted anti-doping officials after learning the procedure was possibly illegal from a reporter.
Ugh, this has to suck for Tamira. I give her credit for alerting the anti-doping officials as soon as she found out the procedure was illegal. Let's hope they take this action into consideration when determining her case.
But with regards to the back issues, I might be stating the obvious here but could the problems of the 5' 5" lady baller be caused by Exhibit Double D's?
Like, whoa.

Serena joins chorus of anti-WADA voices, describes measures as "very invasive"

Serena Williams has become the latest high-profile baller to come out against the new anti-doping measures aka the WADA code.
The current WTA Penthouse resident, who crushed Karolina Sprem 6-1, 6-2 in Paris today, has joined Rafael Nadal + Andy Murray in calling the new measures too extreme:
I think it's too much. It's very invasive. ... Basically, they show up at your house on any day.However, ReRe does believe the measures, though stringent, will keep the doping cases to a minimum (which they are relative to a lot of other sports):
I jump from city to city all the time. First of all, I never tell people where I am because I like to do my own thing.
It's definitely the purest sport, that's the only upside to it. We won't have problems in tennis that we have in other sports.I still believe testing is needed to keep integrity in tennis but the WADA measures are too extreme.

Quote of the Day: Murray on WADA procedure
The official who came to my home wanted me to produce identification to prove who I was. He insisted on watching me provide a sample, literally with my trousers round my ankles, and then insisted that I wrote down my own address even though he was at my private home at 7am.
- Andy Murray on undergoing tennis' new anti-doping testing under the WADA code
Uh, there's a lot I could say about this quote by the Brit baller but I'll stick to the point: These measures -- known location one hour of every day, 3 missed appointments warrants up to 2-year suspension -- seem pretty severe as he (and Rafael Nadal) have described it especially since the number of doping allegations in tennis are far under the numbers reported by other sports.
And I suppose during tourneys it's especially hard because of the constant change of match schedules.
But until the ballers can organize and fight the new measures, they better make sure to pee into that cup in a timely manner...and let them watch if they want.
