Another Sport in the Gutter

Post by BaggyTrousers »

Revalations chapter 1:

Tennis too is crooked.

Yet another sport where even at least one grand slam event winner is a hood adding to the match fixing wendyballists, doped athletes and runners, rugby players with blood capsules and a gamut of other shay sports.

I wonder about rugby and refs in particular. My mind flies to Garces rush to red card the Saintly 15 Jared Payne, whereas he apparently had vision problem seeing that Ashton Ashton dabbling with Luke Marshall's eyes. For me it was more "clear and obvious" than any worthiness of a red card against the same opposition for Ulster.

I tell you without fear of contradiction that Ashton delved into Luke's right eye, if not both and if he is not cited to appear before a Scottish Hanging Judge I shall be livid, indeed, beside myself with rage.

So on a day of infamy for tennis, I wonder has someone else been "got at" ? (Note: not gotten you imbeciles :duh: )

The report into tennis makes great reading.
Basically the authorities were told by bookies who the players were. Which matches they were fixing in and who was betting on those matches. The tennis authorities stuck their head in the sand then banned a man who had been approached, been a whistleblower but with no evidence ever of match fixing

I wonder if any players will get court making a net gain or financial advantage from the betting racket.
