"Pamela D" Files Suit Against Richard Gasquet - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Pamela's Lawyer Maître Yassine Bouzrou

The link is in French so I'll loosely translate. If I make mistakes please correct me.

"Pamela D" has said through her lawyer that she kissed several people by way of greeting them that evening and that she didn't engage in any make out session with Gasquet. Her lawyer says that she has had her hair tested as well and that the test came back negative. He is also asking that testing now be done by independent labs not private ones and that the fact still remains that Gasquet tested positive for three times the level acceptable by the ATP (He said "his sport").

He goes on to say that his client is taking the fall for what happened that night and that she has been defamed.

This isn't going away huh?

Is Pamela from France? Haiti?

**VodsNittats** · 07-20-2009, 07:33 PM

No, it's not going away maybe because Gasquet's story is bullcrap, but that's just my opinion

Beside this, per Bob Greene's "Tennis Newsstand" Monday newsletter, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the World Anti-Doping Agency are looking at possible appeals. They are afraid of the precedent established by letting Gasquet off so easy.

I kind of agree with her.

**repldoinfo** · 07-20-2009, 07:35 PM

Her last name was never mentioned, so how exactly has she been "defamed"?

In any case, Richard should just settle this and move on to better things. She probably just wants money.

Glad to see American press picking up the ramifications of this. The Brazilian press had a big story about it featuring quotes from experts saying Gasquet's story was bull and that the ramifications go way beyond tennis.

**cinggooft** · 07-20-2009, 07:39 PM

Is Pamela from France? Haiti?

The ITF case mentioned her as "living in Paris" and her friend as a French TV host, so I presume she's French.

**TheBest-Host** · 07-20-2009, 07:41 PM

Sounds like a play for money to me.

**cinggooft** · 07-20-2009, 07:46 PM

I love the link underneath that article to a "reconstruction of Gasquet's evening with Pam" complete with GoogleMap links to the club in Miami

**TheBest-Host** · 07-20-2009, 07:53 PM

I think the ITF needs to save its appeals for a time when they are dealing with a player who is actually cheating. Not this.

It's like with the gambling. They are supposed to be looking for the real cheats, but instead suspend a player who made a few $3 - $5 bets.

Good, so perhaps the doping agencies will stop chasing those with tiny traces of recreational drugs and will actually save their effort and resources to actually finds cheats such as some baseball players who stuff themselves with female hormones up the the neck.

**goolen4you** · 07-20-2009, 07:55 PM

In the ITF decision, they said that they had asked for her side of the story and she had denied having taken cocaine and kissing Gasquet. I also read that she's living with her boyfriend, so stories about her making out and snorting coke in a nightclub in Miami were really not good for her relationship... The ITF just decided that they didn't need her official testimony since Gasquet was "trustworthy", or some wording to that sense...

The FFT jumped through hoops on this and I hope M. Gasquet appreciates what they've done for him. He was looking at a career ending suspension. Now that he's gotten his career back let's see how he performs on court. (Sometimes I forget how specific you have to be on TAT...)

As for Manny and the female hormones (WTH?) I'll quote Bill Maher.
His suspension "...was no way to treat a lady."

It's really an anti-doping panel that made the decision.

The ITF argued for the ban.

Richard had affidavits from all the people with him at the clubs saying they did make out. If the ITF believed otherwise, they should have gone to Pamela themselves. But, I don't think they believed Pamela either.

In any event, someone I know who had a drug past says his explanation is bs, but agrees there are multiple ways it could have happened inadvertently in the club and it really shouldn't matter which way since the amount was so small .

American football may be the worst offender. You have 18 and 19 year-olds who are 6'5", 350 lbs., chiseled, without an ounce of fat on them. That just doesn't happen naturally.

The number of guys at my gym lately (many of them college kids home for the summer) who are obviously juicing is scary. There are always giveaways - either in conduct/attitude, or in the acne or other physical signs. I wonder if their parents are just disregarding clear signs, or if they are oblivious.

The parent$ are obliviou$ all right. And the young men don't care $ince all they see are the dollar signs.

Until they really go after the NFL all the $teroid crap i$ ju$t that.

But they are not potential pro athletes, Ti. Maybe they are playing some college sports, but I think just as many are caught up in body image issues, and the "bigger is better" culture. We've come through an era where women (and some men) struggled with bulemia, anorexia, and the desire for that way too slender body. Now in some ways we are seeing the inverse. Teenage, and 20s guys who see a 54" chest as still too small.

I've had a couple of guys offer me 'roids and HGH at my gym over the last few years. I laugh it off, but I know guys my age who are buying.

**freddystone** · 07-21-2009, 01:27 AM

I continue to be amazed that the message about the relationship between steroid use and sterility doesn't get through... I don't even want kids, but that alone would keep me from every trying it.
