Djokovic Reveals Shocking Allegation of Poisoning During 2022 Australian Open Quarantine
Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, has made a startling revelation ahead of the 2024 Australian open. Djokovic claims he was deliberately poisoned while quarantined in a Melbourne hotel in January 2022, just prior to the tournament.
The 2022 Australian Open was marred by controversy surrounding Djokovic’s vaccination status. At the time, Australia had strict border regulations requiring all entrants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Djokovic,who was unvaccinated,faced intense scrutiny and legal battles after his visa was revoked upon arrival. He was ultimately deported from the country, missing the opportunity to compete for his 10th Australian Open title.Djokovic, now back in Melbourne for the 2024 Australian Open, recounted his harrowing experience during a recent press conference. He stated that he experienced health issues during his quarantine period and later discovered, upon returning to Serbia, that he had ingested a poisonous substance.
“I realized that in that Melbourne hotel, I was given food that was laced with poison,” Djokovic asserted.”It was the only logical description for my health problems.”
This shocking revelation adds another layer to the already complex saga surrounding Djokovic’s 2022 Australian Open ordeal. The incident also highlights the intense pressure and scrutiny faced by athletes in the midst of global health crises.
Despite the controversy and the subsequent ban from the 2022 US Open,Djokovic has returned to the Australian open with a vengeance. He triumphed in the 2023 tournament, securing his 10th Australian Open title, and is now aiming for his 25th Grand Slam victory.
While Djokovic maintains that he harbors no ill will towards Melbourne or Australia, he acknowledges that the events of 2022 remain a significant chapter in his career.He admitted to feeling a sense of apprehension upon his return to Australia, recalling the uncertainty and potential for detention he faced three years ago.
