I thought she was very She The jury is still out. Emails, I 'm a retired boomer who almost lost my PT job due to not being addicted to the daily everything glued to the friggin internet technology world! Not passing the buck, but can't imagine with

daily busy lives keeping up with family, travel, injuries, therapy, owning businesses, sponsorships based on DNA. Beauty Guidelines have been set down our throats hundreds of years by society's longtime traditional mainstream idiots.They hold on to traits, we all know what they are and are not. Folks distract looks to sad extreme levels. Don't hate, its not Maria$ fault. Would you pass an opportunity based just on looks? Oh, getting off track. Why not send drug emails to your doctor/trainers, too. This is a life turning event. She needs to be checked, penalized, then return to the game. I wish her well in handling the situation. Maybe invent screaming guard while away,LOL

Now that is a professional statement, all in all, I wouldn't ban her, it didn't do much against Serena, cos that's the only reason that would have made me pissed.

She's a cheater.. Without drugs she probably would not have won half of those matches.

It was. LEGAL two monthamonths ago... SAME drug as it was for the 10 years she LEGALLY took it. Two months in that time sewmsseems rather irrelevant. A warningwarning is enough.

Unfair if she is banned? Hello she's not a child, her mistake has nothing to do with the rules. A small ban well OK but saying unfair for any type of ban is crazy. If she's not banned everyone will make that mistake

I really hope they are lenient with her. It would be terribly unfair if she is banned. She made a small and easy to make mistake.

Announcement was a curve ball to all speculating her retirement. I'm sure many more questions will come later. I really feel bad for her but she's brave to admit her fault and taking full responsibility. Hope her punishment isn't too harsh.

She hardly had questions it's like they didn't care much
