First topic message reminder :

Just seen it on BBC Sport.

Shame, but something doesn't seem right with Nadal's absence.

I'll tell you what is nauseating is that you lot are taking a flippant, throw away comment as if it were a serious threat and I was actually going to kneecap El Capybara.

In all seriousness, I think we know Falzy is a fantastic poster Ok!

Don't know about SR...

by Guest Tue 01 Jan 2013, 6:44 pm

realist calm down... being so aggressive isn't helping. you didnt say you wanted nadal to have an injury, you said youd be delighted if he permanently crippled his knee... that's what people protest to.
More than that we weren't happy with the way you patronized haddie afterwards. She was legitimately unhappy with your statement and your response afterwards provoked her reaction.
Thats what i wanted you to apologize for, it keeps the peace and makes this place nice to post in

I'm not clutching at straws at all, you are. He already has a pre-existing long term and frequently recurring knee issue. I'm not wishing it on him, because he's already got it. I think all these Nadal lovers are over-reacting because they actually fear and possibly know, but can't admit that this injury WILL eventually lead to a premature retirement for him.
I'm sure in tennis terms it will be a terrible thing for the top end of the sport and for Nadal, but I won't lose any sleep over it.

Obviously not all fans are the same and obviously my comment was not all that serious.

That said, I do not think generalizations are silly, as long as they are not taken as absolutes. Different players do attract somewhat different audiences, and one can generalize as long as one understands that an individual fan may well not fit the simplified description.

I do think that Rafa does tend to attract different fans than say Roger and that a bigger proportion of his fans tend to like him personally, rather than (just) for his game. With Roger, I think the percentage of fans who care more about his game than about the man himself is bigger. I do not exactly have scientific data to support it, but I have seen it again and again on many forums and in real life.

by CaledonianCraig Tue 01 Jan 2013, 6:50 pm

SR I am not a Nadal lover. I am a Murray fan and even I read a lot of nastiness in that comment but sadly you either cannot or refuse to accept that. We get the picture that you cannot stand Nadal but you over-stepped the mark with your comment but refuse to admit it. That is the worrying thing.

Look, not all Nadal fans are the same.

I would be a fan of Rafa even if he had no muscles, had purple skin or whatever.
I don't know about Woofie, but I know about me.

Federer fan's don't get accused of treating him like a family member or boyfriend when they defend him against negative comments or admire his forehand or dismiss wild accusations that he may be taking drugs. Same as fans of other players don't get accused of such things. Only Rafa fans. Funny that isn't it.

Why do any of us care why one millionaire tennis player should win rather than another. I don't know "Woofie" either but I take it he/she is a Nadal fan. Whatever Woofies reasons for being a fan is as valid as any. Is it only female fans that are accused of being fans for the "wrong" reasons?

by super_realist Tue 01 Jan 2013, 6:56 pm

again..... it was a throwaway flippant remark, like many of my comments are over on the golf forum, I can't be held responsible for the over-reaction of someone with domestic issues or one-eyed Nadal fans who can't bear to have a bad word spoken abour their diety or those who take the ramblings of everyone on an internet forum literally.

If you lot admit you take yourself too seriously and have your offenco-meter turned up to 11 then I might admit I stepped over the mark.

Anyway, Nadal out of Australia due to stomach virus, well there's been a lot of it about, gives his glass knee extra time to recover and avoids him injuring it on a brutal surface on which he hasn't a chance of being up to pace on. Is there any more to the story than that?

Oh dear, I never said anything about wrong. I think fans can root for players for whatever reasons they want. My comment was not quite serious, and I am not sure Wooffie was serious either, but even if she does like him for his chocolate/caramel combo, there is nothing "wrong" with that.

I think it's a lot easier for a guy to say they're a big fan of Maria Kirilenko and not have to put up a facade that it's all about her inside-out forehand.

Ah yes, LuvSports had made a good point:

you can flush epo out much quicker than that with the help of saline masking it. Armstrong i believe was the first to do so, i mean if it took that long he would have been caught. Also through microdoses many dopers can beat the system with having levels just under the 50 mark (E.g. USPT).
Also you can't completely flush out EPO as it is naturally produced by the kidney and liver.

rujano said he had mono but that his been called into question after he pulled out of the giro.
Good research about EPO, if it takes even less than 24 hours to get out of the system, then testing might be ineffective.
As for Rujano, perhaps he had mono due to EPO usage? For a cyclist that would mean you would have to pull out of the event, so it makes sense.

Not research anymore bud, its ingrained in my memory all this cycling stuff for uni work!
Lance was warned 20 minutes before the testers came so he had a minuscule amount of time.
I don't buy his story in the slightest, i remember seeing it a few months back on cycling news, he pulled out near the END of the giro and dr's i think said there were traces of mono but it was deemed an unsatisfactory excuse by a dr who i can't remember.

I doubt they would lie.

sorry bud only just saw this, i'll see what i can find later.

You say that but WADA are far from perfect!

by LuvSports! Tue 01 Jan 2013, 8:42 pm

EPO was supposedly introduced to cycling the 1990 so I don't know about mono before that

Apparently in 2008 it was reported in the French company: 'Tennis Magazine' that Roger Federer tested positive for EPO in USO 2008.

More speculation on Rafa's absence by Bodo ... http://www.tennis.com/news/2012/12/one-title-many-pain/45807/#.UONX3nwgGK0

Fairly in line with my thinking...that Nadal never had any intention of returning to tour on HC. Plus AO tends to be an unfortunate experience for him...injuries vs Ferrer then Murray...marathons vs Verdaso, Federer and Djokovic that perhaps caused knee problems thereafter...anyone remember Rotterdam 09? Those slow AO HCs tend to spell trouble for him. Wouldn't surprise me if Nadal never went down under again...just skips straight to clay.

by super_realist Tue 01 Jan 2013, 10:33 pm

It's a very long way to go to get beaten in the first or second round, which given the length of his absence and lack of match practice would surely be likely. Much as I dislike the man, probably a very good decision.

by Guest Tue 01 Jan 2013, 10:38 pm

It would depend on how practiced he is, but even then i'd think a quarterfinal would be the most optimistic outcome, he wouldn't beat a top 8 man right now on a hardcourt, round 4 would have depended on the top 16 player he got.

Come on Amri/IMBL, you are just trying to throw mud at Roger here. You shouldn't be posting something on a forum on a foreign language if you can't link it back to an original source. It could easily be a lie, wind up, or confusion of some sort.

Just saying you are looking at a hypothetical scenario and picking Roger to say you could make a case against any player doesn't wash for me.

I don't believe this stuff about how Rafa wouldn't be able to make much of a dent in the AO draw because of a lack of form. As long as he wasn't injured, or totally unfit, he would be able to play his way into form during the tournament. I actually believed that had he been 90%+ fit and played he would quite likely have reached about the quarter or semi final. For sure Djokovic would have been favourite against him and probably Murray too, but no-one else.

by User 774433 Wed 02 Jan 2013, 12:20 am

HB, I don't believe Roger is guilty of doping, I think I've said this before.
There was a link from a French forum which said apparently Roger had been positively tested for EPO in 2008 USO; but are they trustworthy?

I personally don't think so, I'll only ever believe Roger is doping if the ITF say he's failed a drugs test.
Before that, there are only suspicions (look at my 9 points), and rumours (ie the forum I linked it to). If I took that information to court I would be laughed off, I don't have any concrete evidence at all.

by User 774433 Wed 02 Jan 2013, 12:26 am

HB, if you want to see anything relatively solid, see my post @ 2:54pm on Page 6.

I've read more on that French forum and they all seem very paranoid. I wouldn't actually say I find them trustworthy they are too paranoid about everything.

Way too sceptic indeed, come on he is a multiple Grandslam winner and just out of the game for like 6 months and you expect him to bow out by 2nd 3rd round picard

, generally Roger/Rafa/Nole/Murray get easy passage in the first few rounds compared to other seeds, Rosol on paper was way to an easy draw it just was a shocker of a performance on the given day.

It Must Be Love wrote:SR, you wrote a post which was distasteful at best, implying that you wished Nadal received an injury so that it ended his career.
Caledonian Craig pointed out that even at football grounds fans wouldn't stoop so 'low' as you just did there, even the most hardcore hooligan football fans would think twice before wishing something like that on another human being.
So not surprising that some people were appalled, and considering the mental state HN is in with her husband, I totally understand her aghast reactions.

People make crude generalisations against Nadal fans, but the truth is they respond angrily only after either prolonged player bashing, or something that wishes illness/injury/ death on him.
Federer fans are a bit different, they vary. Some do not mind whatever criticism comes their way, while others get furious if we don't constantly praise him. Once Lydian hinted that Federer may har benefitted due to Nadals injury, and one Federer fan went crazy and responded with a 700 word rant.

I, SR/CommonSense, wish to clarify the potentially misleading id of “SR” in your post, amri.

Just in case you thought so, simple-realist is not me, the SR from OTF and Bleacher
Report and the CommonSense here at V2.

Amri, if you are more honest and less vengeful; you’d distinguish that simple-realist’s
initials are sr, not SR. I hope that you’re not purposefully making up SR to
stand for simple-realist because you’re convinced that I’m simple-realist. I’m
not. I wish you’d given me the benefit of doubt and demonstrated some sense of
decency to ask me first, if simple-realist was me, before you attempted to misrepresent SR=simple-realist
as fact.

Besides, please get over this: no one needs to wish nadal any harm. It’s as clear as daylight
he’s already done all the harm to himself; the guy is nearly finished digging his
own grave. Sorry, when the truth is really ugly, there just isn’t a nice way to
tell it. Of course, you’ve every right to your own interpretation. But even an
idiot knows that a mere stomach virus doesn’t hold any healthy young man back
from anything for as long as 3 three weeks. That’s just a REALLY STUPID excuse.
How can you expect people not to speculate if ALL he does is to invite speculation?

And btw, I think the real SR you have in mind and were trying to smear is the one who posted
below Anudeep B and asked if AB is amritia here:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1462458-rafael-nadal-australian-open-withdrawal-raises-red-flags-about-rafas-future

That BR post to AB is the ONLY one I (SR) entered since 30 Dec. Unlike you, I don’t play
games. That’s not my style and you know that. I really envy you though. I wish I could have nothing better to do then to waste
precious time that I don’t have enough of, to defend the indefensible and to attack the unassailable.

It says much about SR that he cannot back down. I PERSONALLY DO NOT WANT AN APOLOGY FROM HIM ANYWAY... its a measure of the person that they cannot see beyond their own feelings.., As far as Im concerned leave it guys..when someone like him has to result to insults then they have no other defence.
