Russian hacking group, Fancy Bears, has published the names and documentation of 25 athletes, including Serena Williams and Venus Williams, alleging that they had taken banned substances. Rafael Nadal, the 14-time Grand Slam champion, emphasised here on Thursday that sportpersons who indulge in the inappropriate things don’t deserve to be competing in the world of sport.
“All I can say is believe in anti-doping control and the values of the sport in general and outside of that people who don’t do the right thing, 100 per cent they don’t deserve to be competing in the world of sport,” Nadal said.
Nadal, who has won 22 straight Davis Cup matches, though, believes in the anti-drug measures. “We have the best anti-doping programme possible and it is trying to get better and better. At the same time, all sportsmen who believe in the real spirit of sport wants to compete against the rest of the world in the same conditions.
“The wealth of the sport is an example for a lot of kids, lot of people around the world, it is an inspiration and I personally believe in the anti-doping programme 100 per cent. Outside of that, I cannot say something that I don’t have the information but I know how hard is to control,” he added.
