So Serena Williams had a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot that travels to the lungs)...
Surprise, surprise...
What no one in any sort of mainstream sports media is talking about is the real reason she had this "ailment".
Let's use Occam's Razor shall we? With the easiest/simplest explanation being the most likely.
Is she old? Nope. Is she fat? Nope. Is she inactive? Nope. Has she had cancer, given birth, or a stroke? Nope, nope, nope.
Has she had surgery? Yes, most recently in July after reportedly cutting her foot on some glass in a restaurant...
Is she on hormone therapy? Likely for birth control purposes though unknown.
Oh, and yeah, this last one...Is she blood doping?? Funny how no one brings up this question (you figure out why no one asks...) as it is the most glaringly obvious cause of her trip to the hospital.
EPO is a hormone used by athletes to increase red blood cells, oxygen absorption and prevent the effects of lactic acid buildup. It also thickens the blood and massively increases the risk for embolisms of all kinds.
Oh yeah and hey, look...Serena hates the idea that tennis wants to test for blood doping?? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/williamssisters/4606356/Serena-Williams-joins-clamour-against-drug-testing.html
So while there may be other factors (sure it could be caused by surgery--more than nine months ago, sure it could be caused by her birth control--unknown if she's even on any) what is the one factor that we KNOW causes a dangerous thickening of the blood leading directly to a large increase in the risk for a pulmonary embolism and why won't anyone ask about it? Is it because tennis and Serena are so pure that they would never use performance enhancing drugs? Is it because despite her and her sisters advancing age in the tennis world they remain at the top of their sport (succumbing to frequent injuries and yet bouncing back rapidly--hmmm)?
No, I think its something else...

ReplyDeleteWhy would one post about a black chick that plays tennis on a Nissan Blog? Must be because you are a racist dickhead. I used your logic so it must be infallible.
See the title?? It's Nismo Stuff...Not just Nissans...movies, books, politics, all kinds of sports, etc. pretty much anything...
ReplyDeleteSo using my logic, the simplest explantion being the most likely, I would say I posted it because I read about it, saw it on TV and thought it staggering that no one would bring up the obvious and thought it deserved mentioning.
But thanks for playing...
I agree with the first post. If it said Nismo and stuff or Nismo and other things that would mean the definition you provide.
ReplyDeleteNismo stuff to anyone normal means stuff about Nismo/Nissans.
You honestly believe if I opened a grocery store called Pizza Stuff that I should expect people to know I sell sushi supplies and Indian Spices and you expect people to think that makes any sense?
It's your blog so obviously you can do whatever you want but stop feigning (I hope its feigning otherwise you are delusional too)incredulity when people question your blogs name when it makes little sense given the content.
Like you said...my blog..my name...NISMO Stuff sounds a lot better than NISMO and Stuff...
ReplyDeleteAnd if one spends more than 10 seconds reading the blog (though you may ask--why would anyone spend more than ten seconds reading this blog?) one would quickly realize its a mix of many different things yet it all revolves around me, my love of Nissans, motorsports and many other things...
I agree with the blogger. The Williams sisters are just to cut and defined for anyone not to even talk about steroid use. Last female I can remember with that much muscle mass was Marion Jones.
ReplyDeleteShe should be eliminated from sports.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your courage in asking unpopular questions! Let's remember that Lance Armstrong never tested positive for doping, ever. And what a colossal disappointment that was to so many of us.I am convinced she is a doping cheat.
