Reveal: Has Djokovic’s PCR test been tampered with? – Sports mix

The number 1 in the tennis world is fighting to participate in the Australian Open. Novak Djokovic celebrated a victory in court on Monday. Judge Anthony Kelly overturned the cancellation of his visa due to a formal error by the Australian authorities and allowed him to enter the country.

For now, the Serb is allowed to move freely, has already been able to train on the court and is preparing to hunt for his 21st Grand Slam title.

His participation is still far from certain. Immigration Secretary Alex Hawke has the right to withdraw his visa one more time, but will not comment until Wednesday.

Explosive: The identification number of the positive test result is significantly higher (50,000 digits) than the officially stated negative test from December 22nd. This suggests that the positive test was actually carried out after the negative test, which, according to the lawyers, should record the end of his Covid disease after the positive result. “Spiegel” quotes experts from “Zerforschung” in its report, the latter also sharing the findings in a thread on Twitter:
