THE Spanish tennis federation (RFET) plans to sue French TV broadcaster Canal+ over a sketch which appeared to imply world No. 2 Rafael Nadal and his fellow Spanish athletes are drug cheats.
The sketch from the show "Les Guignols", or "The Puppets", shows a life-size likeness of Nadal filling up his car's gas tank from his own bladder before being pulled over by traffic police for speeding. "Spanish athletes. They do not win by chance," is flashed on the screen surrounded by the logo of the RFET and several other Spanish federations, including soccer and cycling.
