 First time it let me read the whole article, second time it wants me to sign up to an account. So it may or may not work for anyone trying it ! 


 Doesn't work for me - takes me straight to a paywall. Any help welcome as I'd like to read it. handshake.gif


 https://archive.ph/0MPiq - this should work!


Thanks, Jajon (& Jon).  A fascinating article.  I just wish the journo knew the difference between a translator & an interpreter.  I started my working life as a translator (dealing with the written word), only on very rare occasions acting as an ad hoc interpreter (dealing with the spoken word) at meetings.  It's a totally different discipline & one with which I never felt comfortable.

Off topic, would you mind explaining how the Archive "thingy" works, please?

Thanks, emmsie.  Have tried it with a Times article about Cam on the Wimbledon men's singles thread & it seems to have worked.

Seems Karatsev and Basilashvili are being accused of match fixing by the German press

www.news.com.au/sport/tennis/tennis-stars-linked-to-bombshell-matchfixing-allegations-report/news-story/d07cca1a94bf81aeebdafeaaa0ff4c05

Looks like it stems from some historic doubles but also Basilashvili at Wimbledon doubles in 2021 and Karatsev at Stuttgart this year, a few weeks ago.

Both deny it and no charges as of yet.

Ironically , given the accusations are from German press investigation, the two are drawn to play each other in Hamburg round one!

Bárbara Gatica has been banned for 3 years relating to a match in 2016. She is of course also provisionally suspended for failing a drug test at the same tournament as Tara, for which she continues to proclaim her innocence.

In a statement Gatica said (Google translate)
Sometimes we make mistakes where we don't know the consequences until a few years later... Today one of the worst mistakes I made in my life comes to light, at a time when I was very young and without experience , of which I am extremely sorry.

This 2022 has really hit me very hard... doping, which was something very unfair, of which I am totally innocent ."

 The end date of her  anti corruption sanction  is 8th December 2025 so by the time she could return  she will 29 years and 4 months old . It seems a long time for a ban to take effect for an offence that took place in 2016.

To be honest, I felt a little sad for her - it's quite a moving speech

There's a parents' blog which outlines the awful pressures that young players (and especially young women) are put under on tour - they often travel alone, or with another young player of their age, they're barely more than kids, there's talk of wildcards being offered for sexual favours, of them being expected to 'wine and dine' with the sponsors, of being backed into a corner and not knowing how to react, and of the ITF not really wanting to know - it's really quite believable that she found herself in a very awkward position and didn't know how to deal with it.
Which is not to say there shouldn't be sanctions - there should - but a one-off offence, as a real youngster, is very different from a systematic abuse from a player in their mid- or late-20s say.

Not a tennis player but the  drugs ban of a former British boxing champion Amir Khan. He suggested that the banned substance  may have got into his system from "shaking hands." Apparently there was a whole crowd of people in his dressing room after his fight and he was a friendly guy who always  shakes hands.  This is certainly an original excuse following on from some of the tennis players excuses.

I should have put this post in the doping again. That topic doesn't seem to have cropped up lately.

The International Tennis Integrity Agency can today confirm that players Nastja Kolar and Alexandra Riley have been banned from the sport for life and handed significant fines following multiple breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP).

Independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer (AHO) Ian Mill KC determined that Kolar, from Slovenia, and Riley, from the USA, had committed 25 and 15 offenses between 2015 and 2020. The pair had been provisionally suspended since March 2023 pending a decision on sanctions.

Given the depth and significance of these breaches, which included contriving aspects of matches, wagering, facilitating wagering, courtsiding, conspiracy, and failing to report corrupt approaches, Kolar has been fined $175,000, and Riley $50,000.
