Did no one really ask him about it? They should hire Letsrun to cover all events. We'll at least try to ask the quesitons that need to be asked.
(1) who is “they”? Tennis? NBC? We don’t know what you’re talking about (2) Why should a running website be hired to cover tennis? (3) what does “quesitons” mean? (4) how f*cking stupid are you
Tyler Hamilton is my new hero for being so honest. Anyone who continues to deny the extend of drugs in our sports should watch this...and stop defending people you have no idea if they are innocent or not.
He was given something in the middle of a match - that's undisputable right? Firstly this practice (and we have seen it before with Djokovic) is extremely bizarre. That is a standard pill container - it's hard to imagine why he can't carry this on court with him to begin with so there isn't this optically weird situation of it being passed down the stands and given to a ball kid to courier it out to him in front of like 15000 people.
So let's say it's just some kind of anti-cramping tablets/capsules (entirely plausible). The above then is really relevant. Did he just forget them? Possibly, but again this situation that unfolds is just weird. I don't know the rules on the ATP tour/at the US Open - I know players can take bathroom breaks, maybe they aren't allowed to go back to their lockers?
But the underlying question originally asked is totally valid - how does nobody ask him about it? In this current sporting climate and yeah, the fact he is Spanish matters because their nation was embroiled in a massive doping controversy (Puerto) with the trial taking place only 10 years ago. If there is nothing to it you say "I forgot my cramping tablets and we aren't allowed to go back to the lockers as per the rules". Done, case closed.
Bottom line though - hard to believe not a single journo there noticed that and didn't think it was relevant to ask the question. Rojo is right.

What's really stupid is your post.
1) "They" - can't figure that out mate? He does a press conference after every match with a room full of (at a guess) 40-50 accredited press.
2) He's being tongue in cheek. But this website does have a history of being at press conferences and asking athletes questions that might make them uncomfortable, but have every right to be asked. Hence the ironic statement that flew right over your head
3) I don't know what a "quesiton" is either - maybe you could explain. What question could and should have been asked? "Carlos during the match obviously a ball kid delivered you what appeared to be some kind of pills from your team in the stands - I'm sure you can understand that looks a bit strange - any possibility you could explain to us what that was and was it something you just forgot to take out there with you?"
How about that?
4) I'll ask you the same question - "How f*cking stupid are you"

1) Im not your “mate,” you Limey Punk
(2) Rojo said “they” should hire LetsRun for all events. For all Tennis events? If so, that’s one “they.” For all NBC sports events? If so, that’s another “they.” For all sporting events! If so, that is multiple “theys”
(3) just because you have the right to do something, doesn’t mean you should
(4) Rojo is being tongue in cheek? Confused. So he doesn’t believe that Alcarez was given drugs and should be asked about it?
(5) not hard to spell many words, including “question,” and yet Rojo continually spells them wrong. Not much a journalist, is he, “mate”?
(6) does it look strange? I don’t know. How often are tennis players given bottles of unknown substances during matches? I’m actually asking. Maybe it’s never, maybe it’s all the time, but Rojo didn’t bother to look this information up, bc he’s f*cking stupid, and not a journalist
"Im feeling wicked smart" - hahaha I mean you have me in tears.
Your handle is "As Rojo real stupid." which I'm not sure if you even realize, doesn't even make sense. Like you don't even have a coherent handle and you are championing how "wicked smart" you are?
I'm still laughing. My god, you are one of the greats.

(1) not sure why you’re in tears. I mean, I know that you’re a b*tch, but come on no reason to cry about it
(2) thank you for calling me one of the greats
(3) Rojo uses the word “as” way way way too much. That’s where the handle comes from. If yin weren’t so stupid you would know that
(4) “like you don’t even have a coherent handle.” omg are you a valley girl?

Yeah, us dopers always have the ball boy retrieve our PEDs and hustle them over to us in front of a few thousand people and a national TV audience.
Same question as before: Are you drunk?
Where did Rojo mention PEDs? You just created a strawman!!! All Rojo is
saying is that Journos should always be inquisitive and that there aresome unanswered questions!where are mods to prevent such fallacies. They're only concerned with deleting genius creative threads.

in the headline? He said he took drugs
My bad, was looking for anything to defend this man with, I'm clutching at straws at this point.
