i dont know if PEDs make one arm a lot stronger than the other, but rafa definitely has 2 different sized arms it's rather distracting after you notice it. but for someone so young, his body seems to be (relatively) falling apart lately.

Some people think that Rafa is currently serving a secret suspension for failing a drug test. I hope it's not true but there are certain things which seem to give it validity. Rafa hasn't played a competitive match in over six months due to supposed knee problems yet he hasn't undergone any surgeries or operations to fix those issues. It's also suspicious how he bowed out of the Australian Open two weeks before the tournament started due to a "stomach virus". I'm no medical professional but I've never heard of a stomach virus that takes two weeks to recover from. There's something weird going on.

1. Every tennis player's forehand/serve arm is substantially larger than their other arm.

2. His body is falling apart, but people saw this coming years ago. You can't draw up a style of play that would be harder on the knees than Nadal's style of play. And, yes, he is relatively young (26), but he was a prodigy and so the mileage on his knees started well before it does with most other players. Rafa beat Federer when he was 17 years old.
