TERRIBLE NEWS. This is Rafael Nadal’s comment about Maria Sharapova’s doping case.
The Spanish Legend wasn’t impressed at all about what has recently happened to consider all this mess a big blow for the sport.
Nadal. Terrible news…
Rafa commented “It’s terrible news for the world of sport in general and for our sport. I think it’s terrible because the sport must be clean and must look clean. The good news about this is that we have a good anti-doping program, that the players who are not doing the right thing are going on a trial.”
… I have no temptation…
The Spaniard added “I have no temptation in doing something wrong. I believe in the sport, and the value of the sport. The sport is an example for the society; it’s an example for the kids. If I am doing something against that, then I am lying to myself, lying to my opponents. That would be something really bad for me. I have no temptation of doing a negative thing. I am a fair player, and I love the sport as a player, as a competitor and as a follower. When something negative happens in the world of sport, I am sad because the sport is an example for the society and for the kids in general.”
… I am sure it was a mistake
Then Rafa concluded “I am 100 percent confident with my team, and at the same time, I know all the things I am taking. It is difficult to imagine that something like this can happen, but everyone can make mistakes. I want to believe that for sure it was a mistake for Maria, that she didn’t want to do it, but it is a result of negligence. But the rules are like this, and it’s fair, and now she must pay for it.”
