Eugenie Bouchard was in the news this week in Madrid for two reasons. The first, his return to the slopes after a long time away due to some physical problems that even threatened to end his sports career.
The Canadian added three consecutive victories in Madrid (two in the previous and one in the first round). which allowed her to feel her loss of confidence again, although this Friday she said goodbye to the tournament after losing to the Italian Martina Trevisan (6-2, 7-5).
So far the positive side. The other reason Bouchard has been talked about this week is because of some controversial tweetswhich he later decided to remove, regarding the problems of some of his colleagues with some anti-doping controls.
“There are doped (dopers) to play in MadridHe posted on his official Twitter account.
He referred to the fact that Yastremska is under investigation for a positive doping case in 2021, for an anabolic. An independent court held that the tennis player did not commit any fault or negligence, that it was all due to a contaminated product and was not intentional.
In Madrid, Bouchard defeated the Russian in 2017 Maria Sharapova, sentenced to 15 months for positive meldonium. “He’s a cheater, he should be banned for life. This is unfair to other playersGenie stressed.
His comment about doping was removed from the Twitter map. Not such an answer to the topic. “Genie Bouchard is now 2-0 against players with doping bans in Madrid“, posted one tweeter.
“I try to do my part” replied Genie with a laughing emoji.
