He's absolutely floundering. Sworn court affidavit says he was tested and diagnosed on the 16th. Now that the pictures of him hanging out with kids and having an interview post-16th he's changed his story and said that he only tested with a rapid test on the 16th and was negative, then took a PCR on the 16th which came back positive on the 17th. The interview happened on the 18th, so regardless he's ****ed up there.

You also weren't allowed to travel overseas for the two weeks prior to coming to Australia, but he went to Spain. Now throwing his agent under the bus saying he ticked an incorrect box, how unfortunate!

I've gone from thinking there's no way he's kicked out to thinking it's back to being a possibility

If Novax Djokovic had legitimately followed the rules, let him stay.

It looks like he might be involved in multiple breaches, multiple lies, multiple cover ups.

If so, he's got to go.

Has a single other person got an exemption into Australia while using the prior infection exemption? My guess is LOLOLOL no.

I kinda want him to play just to see how much he gets booed. He spent ages trying to build his image and ruined a ton of it here.

Making the decision to deport him on the day of the final would be the biggest troll ever

Considering Aus is getting its first real COVID surge now also.

It would also be fun to watch him win slam 21 while being booed and heckled by 90% of the crowd.

it would be amazing mental toughness if he plays and still wins when everyone wants him to lose. It would be so lol if his US open breakdown plus this are what prevent him from being the slam leader and Rafa edges him out in French.

Not gonna happen but if Djokovic were to be deported prior to the tournament starting Rublev would move to the number one seed. Don’t understand it but that’s how it would work.

BBC/Reuters is reporting that Djokovic is having his visa cancelled and they intend to deport him.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

"shifted its focus to Djokovic’s supporting documents, the legitimacy of his coronavirus test and basic questions about what Djokovic knew about his diagnosis and when he knew it.

Legally, the Aussie immigration minister, can cancel a visa on character grounds or if he finds records to be false"

Yeah, and that was a poll across the right-wing Murdoch newspaper sites. Regardless of his vax status, he’s a liar and a really sh*t bloke.
