Theres already players in Australia who got a medical exemption but no doubt the haters will say its only him..

GOAT

Djokovic was spot on by not giving into the pricks. They bottled it big time and showed once again that all that matters more than anything else is money.......

Djokovic been denied entry into Australia, visa issue, unsure if connected with this medical exemption.

Looks like it was because his team never requested the right visa which permits someone entry who is medically exempt from the vaccination. Goes to a panel now…can’t see him getting in.

Not aware of everyone’s reasons but unless there’s a legitimate medical reason then no IMO. 

Agreed.

However, 26 people applied for a ME and only a handful were accepted. It was two strict tests apparently and the applicants name was not available to the examiners, one was a doctor.

So it does seems strange how only Djokovic has been denied entry after passing and receiving a medical exemption.

The Australian government has been naming him specifically for weeks and it does look political aspects at work.

Tennys Sandgren said similar and he had to withdraw as was not eligible to meet the criteria so would have had a legit reason to be pissed off Novak got one.

Aye that’s fair. As I said, not aware of everyone’s reasons but top level sportsmen with exemptions getting entry in a country with strict border requirements during a pandemic just isn’t right IMO.

IF that is all true, what a mess, being exempt due to having Covid in the previous 6 months is a joke. However, if its true that other players have already been allowed in for that exact reason is utterly ludicrous.

Surely this ain't true as well?!
