Rafael Nadal against Roselyne Bachelot, a match for the least expected. The former world No. 1 tennis confirmed Sunday that he would file a complaint for defamation against Roselyne Bachelot, a former French sports minister, who was accused of having been suspended for doping. “I’ll sue and I will continue in the future everyone will make similar comments,” Nadal said after his opening match in the Masters 1000 Indian Wells, one of the important tournaments in the ATP circuit.
“I’m tired of hearing this stuff, I left past several times in the past, but now it’s over,” warned the Spaniard, now the fifth player in the world. “I know how hard I had to work hard to get there. I can not not accept the comments of a person who has to be serious, because she was a minister in a great country, France,” a- he continued. “A French minister must be serious,” he repeated. “This time I’m going to sue, we’ll pursue it and from now on, anyone who will make such comments will suffer the same fate, because this is too much for me,” concluded the nine-time winner of Roland Garros.
“The famous injury Nadal”
Asked last week about the positive test for a drug, meldonium to Russian Maria Sharapova at an issue of the French TV channel D8, Roselyne Bachelot Nadal accused of feigning injury to conceal a doping test. “We know that the famous injury of Rafael Nadal when he was arrested seven months is certainly due to a positive control”, said the former Sports Minister (2007-2010). “When you see a tennis player who stops for months that he tested positive. Not every time, but very often,” she added.
Nadal was long missing in 2012 because of a knee injury. Before the start of the tournament, he was assured that he had never doped and said he had been using advanced and costly therapies to treat his knee problems, such as the use of stem cells and platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
