Adrien Roux, a French radiologist who regularly treats Rennes players, criticized the tennis player Rafael Nadal for his decision to play with an anesthetized leg in the Roland Garros final, in which he defeated Norway’s Kasper Ruud to win the tournament. Rafa later admitted that he spent the game on painkillers.
– From a legal point of view, Nadal did not cheat in any way, in tennis there are no rules prohibiting injections of anesthetics. In addition, injectable anesthetics do not have anabolic or stimulatory properties, regardless of their route of administration. This does not apply to corticosteroids taken by mouth, which can have anabolic effects on a regular basis. But, in my opinion, this is a real problem. The definition of doping is an external chemical that will make you perform better, physically or mentally. There we put the nerve to sleep to put the painful area to sleep, even the ultra-painful one.
I think putting that nerve to sleep improves his performance in the sense that it helps reduce his pain, if not erase it, allowing him to maintain his usual level of performance. Pain usually reduces performance, but an injection allows it to be just as effective as helping to improve performance as an injured athlete. From an ethical point of view, it is very doubtful, – quotes the words of doctor Ouest-France.
