The Tennis Thread

Seriously he should just be declared unwelcomed. Wrong declaration on entry documents, making a mockery of vaccine rules, going out when positive with Covid, I am sure majority of the world will be on Australia’s side when they ban this guy from Australia for a number of years, in fact that would be a let off because technically he can be jailed.

Interestingly, I’ve just read that Djoko is claiming he went ahead with his public appearances on the 16th and 17th because he had tested negative on his a home test. Given that PCR can stay positive for a long time after infection, long after you active virus in your system, this use of the at home test to assess contagiousness is actually good public health practice. What this means, especially when combined with his subsequent negative PCR only a week later, indicates his Dec 16th positive was a fair while after his infection.

This might give some explanation for why he was so confident in his qualification for a medical exemption…he would have first been positive possibly as early as mid Nov, and then viewed that once he recovered he would qualify. What is lacking is his explanation for how he knew he was positive back then and any documentation to demonstrate that. You and I might have just developed symptoms and assumed we were positive and quarantined accordingly. We might even have backed that up with an at home test. But, if I had something that was really important to me that was contingent on me being able to prove I was positive at this time I would not have left it at that. I would understand I would need to get official documentation of my status, and I wouldnt leave that until Dec 16th in the hope that I was still testing positive at that time (possible but no means certain). And certainly not when there was a deadline for submitting medical exemptions.

You’ve gotta love Aussies sometimes :wink:

Yeah, but I’m going to make sure it doesn’t become a habit.

Hold on there.

You can’t cuddle an Australian. They bite.

That’s part of the fun :wink:

Or catching chlamydia.

Sorry I won’t gloat if any anti vaxxer just keep to their side of their views, it’s my personal line at that but for any of these people who openly challenges and make a mockery of the vaccine mandate, especially for someone as high profile as him, I wish him all the troubles he deserves to get into legally.

Bogdan Obradović, former tennis coach of Novax Djokovic, was just on BBC 5Live and he said, “the tournament is bigger than covid” :confused:

This has been the approach from most Sports over the last couple of years.

Their attitude towards the virus has been appalling
