Told you..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

He was untouchable for so long it doesnt seem right hearing him explaining away all these defeats and trying new equiptment.

Very good.
Although I still haven't forgiven you totally for making the joke about Luis Enrique that I thought of as soon as I heard the news on the radio yesterday.

Marin Cilic being investigated over 'failed drugs test' by International Tennis Federation
Tennis was facing another potential doping controversy on Monday night following claims that world No 15 Marin Cilic was being investigated over an alleged failed drugs test.
Reports from Cilic’s native Croatia over the last few days claimed the International Tennis Federation was probing the case and that the 24-year-old would provide an explanation for the adverse finding.
The Slobodna Dalmacija daily credited “reliable sources” as confirming Cilic, beaten by Andy Murray in last month’s Aegon Championships final at Queen’s, failed a test at the BMW Open in Munich in April, just two weeks after passing a doping control test at the Monte Carlo Masters.
The influential Jutarnji List daily quoted Cilic’s manager Vincent Stavaux as saying: “There are no comments until we will be able to comment.” The publication further reported that the former world No 9 produced an adverse finding due to “incautious use of glucose”.
Cilic has not played since pulling out of Wimbledon with a reported knee injury after reaching the second round. It is claimed that Cilic learnt of this failed test during Wimbledon. To date the ITF, which oversees tennis’ anti-doping programme, has refused to comment.
Cilic is a nine-time winner on the ATP Tour and is a former Australian Open semi-finalist and two-time US Open quarter-finalist.
He has proven a regular opponent of 26-year-old Murray in grand slam combat, gaining worldwide attention by beating him at Flushing Meadows in 2009. But that remains his only victory over the new Wimbledon champion, who has won their nine other meetings.
Reports of Cilic’s failed test emerged days after the ITF banned Viktor Troicki for 18 months for flouting doping rules. The 27-year-old was found guilty of failing to provide a blood sample during a drugs test at the Monte Carlo Masters.
The Serbian, who reached the third round of Wimbledon and is currently ranked 53rd in the world, said he would appeal against his ban.
He claimed during the ITF investigation that he had been given permission to skip the April 15 test because he was feeling unwell.
Troicki is a one-time winner on the ATP Tour, triumphing in Moscow’s Kremlin Cup in 2010. He was also a key part of Serbia’s victorious Davis Cup team in the same year, winning the fifth and decisive rubber against France’s Michael Llodra.
He became the fifth professional to serve a doping suspension in 2013 after Filippo Calorosi, Barbora Záhlavová-Strycová, Dimitar Kutrovsky and Fernando Romboli.
