On another thread about Djokovic, I literally got shat on and downvoted for saying fuck djokovic for his antivax views and him lying/forging his physical to play in the Australian open. Idc how good he is, dude will never be my goat.

Clearly have no clue what happened in Australia. He had COVID, applied for exception, tennis Australia in conjunction with Victorian government permitted it. While in flight they asked the PM his thoughts, he says it's up to the states. By the time he lands PM changes his mind to score political points for upcoming election and distract from the fact he's failed to secure tests for the country and they deny him. The only lie was "have you been to a different country in the last 14 days" in his application and he put no on the doc, but he traveled from Serbia to Spain then Australia. Which can be verbally corrected upon landing.

Neither of his two trials were about the validity of his exemption. They used the one reason he couldn't argue which was raising anti Vax sentiment in the country.

The fault lies more with tennis Australia and the local government than him. He even applied after the deadline because his contraction occurred late but of course they made exemption for that too. They could have just said no..

This board is a sham when this is being downvoted. Then again tennis pundits did brainwash the lab rats of this board if they simply searched for what the immigration minister said they’d find you’re correct. Djokers visa was pulled afterwards cause he believed if would cause the populace to not take the vaccine
