Section Q Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 13 hours ago, Nookie Bear said: The lying is the big mistake, of course, but the government should have said that when deporting him rather than vague “public health” statements. We let equally wealthy footballers skip quarantine during the Euros so they can entertain, we also let less wealthy footballers play each week at the expense of amateurs, so I think a straightforward “you can come in but you have to isolate” policy would have sufficed. Agree with you matey. Neither side looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading something about Spanish sportsmen tbh. Some Spanish sports scientist got caught doing something I can’t quite remember exactly what for but Rafa was mentioned. I’m sure Arsene Wenger said something about Spanish players when they came to Arsenal too. I wish I could find the article. Basically it coincided with the Spanish team becoming world champions etc and Rafa dominating the tennis etc. I was shocked to find out Linford Christie etc were all caught for using performance enhancing drugs. Even Carl Lewis after all the fuss he made about Ben Johnson was also caught using. They’re all likely at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should be vaccinated however Novak - who has never been vaccinated in his life - is reticent to do so. I do not agree with him but that is his choice. However, just because he is globally recognised person who happens to be unvaccinated does not mean he is an anti-vaxxer spokesman...that is a title that others have put on him and is unfair. I should add that Australia is about 80% fully vaccinated. If it does not feel comfortable in that position then it will never be comfortable and suggests somewhat it may be used as a reason to stop certain types of people entering the country. The fact that there is a huge difference in vax rates between white Aussies and the indigenous population already indicates a sense of exclusion for these people. Again.
