Federer says it’s naive to think tennis is clean

Interesting interview from the CNN to Roger Federer.

After discussing his personal life (alias diapers, crying babies etc.), Roger had some comments about doping.

Naive to think tennis is clean

“Naivety says that tennis is clean, the way it’s been all the way through,” said Roger

“It’s pretty good, of course every sport always has some cases. But I think our sport needs to do the upmost to try to make sure the integrity stays and that the fans don’t tune into different sports just because they don’t trust the players anymore.

“I’ve always been fighting to make sure we have enough testing.”

Some more ideas

“More funding, more blood, more urine, you name it — more funding all across the board,” added the Swiss.

“Maybe keep samples as well for a long period of time so you can go back and punish those players. The people, or the players, need to be scared if they cheat.

“Of course some players do it by mistake, but unfortunately it falls into the same situation and you have to pay the price for it.”
