Novak Djokovic has opted not to provide any details about his previous assertion that he was “poisoned” when detained in Australia before to the 2022 Australian Open. According to what the Serbian tennis player told GQ Magazine before his arrest in Melbourne, he believes the increased lead and mercury levels in his blood originated from the food he ate.
As he emphasized his dedication to tennis during a news conference at the Australian Open this year, Djokovic chose not to provide any further specifics. The online version of the GQ piece came out yesterday. Months ago, I did the interview. Since I’m here to play tennis, I’d rather not go into depth about it at the moment. Just in case you’re wondering, the article is a good resource,” Djokovic said before departing from the news conference.
Placement of the Claims
Djokovic discussed his post-deportation health issues in an interview with GQ. Upon my return to Serbia, I found elevated levels of lead and mercury, two heavy metals. This is something I have never shared with the public. “The only thing I can think of is that the food at the Melbourne hotel was the culprit,” he stated.
In response to a query about whether he was sure the drugs entered his body through the meal, Djokovic firmly stated, “That’s the only way.”
Political Commentary and Djokovic’s Deportation
Also, Djokovic brought up his expulsion from Australia, implying that it had more to do with politics than health. The politicians just couldn’t tolerate my presence. They might have avoided further trouble by deporting me rather than letting me remain. The issue was entirely political, he insisted, and had nothing to do with COVID-19 or vaccinations.
Assist from Other Teams Members
The outspoken Nick Kyrgios reaffirmed his backing of Djokovic’s treatment. Certainly, we treated him horribly. According to Kyrgios, he was unjustly punished.
