Say It Ain't No


The law of averages says you can’t win them all yet Novak Djokovic is doing just that. Thirty-seven straight victories and a possible 38 had he not withdrawn from Monte Carlo, his place of residence, with a bad knee. Yes, the bad knee conspiracy after rumours fly that drug testing is imminent. Whenever there’s a possibility of blood doping and drug testing there’s always the bum knee excuse. Here are the facts folks.

Novak Djokovic has found an Eastern European doctor who in his own words has cured him of his allergies. Novak is leaner and faster because now he is gluten free. Well so is The View’s Elizabeth Hasselbeck and to be quite honest all the gluten free diet has done for her is made her even more stupid than she already is if that is even possible.

You remember the 60’s, the cold war, bell bottoms, granny glasses and those Eastern European doctors who “assisted” Olympic athletes. Statistical analysis of the Olympic Games shows the weight of shot putters grew 14 per cent between 1956 and 1972. A medical research team in the United States attempted to set up extensive research into the effects of steroid use on weightlifters and throwers, only to discover that there were so few who weren't taking them that they couldn't even establish any worthwhile comparisons. Fast forward to 2011 and enter the new shot-putter, Novak Djokovic, only with much smaller balls.

Sure Novak doesn’t look like he is “all pumped up” (back to the smaller balls comparison) except for his stupid helmet hair nothing on his body appears to be enhanced but clearly something’s up besides his ranking. For years the guy suffered from asthma and now only his opponents appear to be sucking wind. And although I do not own a hat, if he isn’t on something I will eat a hat of his liking, only I insist, as I am sure Novak and his clever Eastern European Doctors would, that the hat be gluten free.
