International sports may have reached an all new low if the suspected allegations are true. In addition to betting scandals in the NBA and baseball, dog-fighting, hit-men for hire in figure skating stabbing in tennis, once again tennis has been implicated in one of the most disgraceful things I have ever heard of, an alleged poisoning of a tennis player in international play-the Davis Cup. Tennis player Tommy Haas, felt very ill during a match with Mikhail Youzhny and was forced to retire. At first Haas was suspected to have a stomach virus, but the International Tennis Federation is now investigating allegations of poisoning of the 13th ranked player in the world Tommy Haas.
If there is a poisoning it may have been due to a Latte Macchiato- a dessert that Haas ordered, and was the only one to order this dessert among his dinner party according to the initial investigation investigators. Given that these are just allegations It would be premature and unreasonable to make any claims as to the involvement of the opposing country Russia that Haas (who plays for Germany) played against. The Russians did win the play 3-2.
