    Hello!

    Sinner is out of US Open 2026. It is apparently
    his right knee that is bothering him. According
    to the latest news, Alcaraz on the other hand
    will be in the draw.

    I have no idea whether Alcaraz is planning to
    play Winston Salem before the US Open.

    Of course they are. All the top athletes in any sports use
    special designer drugs that enhance performance and cannot
    be detected in tests. There are clever chemists who know how
    to manufacture these substances. Avoiding doping issues is
    easy: all the prohibited substances are listed. When
    you create a designer drug, you are creating a new chemical
    compound that is not listed so it is allowed.

    Due to some deep throat's information we also know that
    the Top 50 players are all on Adderal or other
    amphetamine based drugs. They have visited dishonest doctors
    who have "diagnosed" them with ADHD, so they are free to
    use ampmhetamine derivatives and they can do this in full
    secrecy because your medical history is your private

    ATP and ITF know who are using speed but they cannot
    disclose it. And they do not want to disclose it because
    it would be bad publicity. The illusion of clean athletes
    must be maintained because most of the sports audiences
    would not like to face the truth.

    For example, Tour de France is all doping. It is such an
    inhuman event that no clean athlete could compete
    against the best cyclists.

    I mean they're peak, they've skipped 3 slams out
    of 8 (for them this year) and sinner had this bummer loss
    early in FO, basically they played 4 out of possible 8 slams,
    each skipped 2 slams this year.

    They are not clean but I accept this fact and am fine
    with it. Doping usually gives us better entertainment:
    more power, more stamina, more agility, better mental
    concentration through amphetamine derivatives, and so on.

    I would be fine with them greatly reducing the doping pool. Cocaine or cannabis as 'performance enhancers'? That's bullshit and just an
    invasion of privacy.

    To be honest, I completely lost you here. What do cocaine
    and cannabis have to do with doping? Cocaine does not enhance
    performance but Arnie Schwarzenegger sometimes trained in a
    gym under the influence of cannabis. It probably helped him
    to endure the pain a bit better.

    Regarding sexual performance, cannabis improves the
    quality of erections...

    As far as cocaine goes, I just read that Nick Kyrgios
    tested positive for coke, just like Richard Gasquet did
    some years ago. Yeah, it is an invasion of privacy. Let
    them use whatever they want. Unfortunately USA started
    the ridiculous and pathetic War on Drugs in the mid
    1960s. The "War" has been raging for something like 60
    years now, with no positive effects. Illicit drug
    trade flourishes, criminal gangs rule the world and
    innocent victims get killed in gang wars. Holy fuck
    what a mess.

    War on Drugs should be aborted globally and all drugs
    should be legalized. That is the only sane thing left
    to do but politicians are beyond stupid and/or
    corrupted: They did not learn *anything* from
    alcohol prohibition: there is demand so if the
    product is not available by legal means, then
    criminals will take over.

    Coke and weed have nothing to do with doping (i.e. performance enhancing
    - long term anyway).

    I agree that improved erections are not helpful on the tennis court.
