00:00I would never, even in my entire life, ever try and dope in this sport.

00:04You know, this is something that, I mean, especially going through an injury like I

00:08went through, and obviously there are things out there that could speed up healing, help me get

00:13back to prime level, you know, help my recovery. There's so many things out there that are

00:17prohibited in our sport that I could have been doing to get me back quicker. Two years out of

00:22the sport in my prime, basically I was 28, competing for Wimbledon, US Open, and I had

00:27an injury where I could have been doing things to get back, but that's just not who I am,

00:31and I'm always against that. So for me, when people are saying that I'm disrespectful for

00:34the sport, I think someone like that, that has tried to cheat the process and actually not,

00:39you know, done it completely on their own merit, is the disrespectful one, in my opinion. He's

00:44number one in the world and he's an amazing tennis player. I've never said he's not.

00:48And I just think the treatment has to be fair for everyone. And I just think that it's been

00:54handled horrifically in our sport, and two world number ones both getting done for doping is

01:00disgusting for our sport. It's a horrible look. And yeah, the tennis integrity right now, and

01:04everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it. It's awful. Like, it's actually awful.
