Novak Djokovic, 24-Time Grand Slam Champion, Claims Poisoning by Lead and Mercury in Food During 2022 Australian Detention
Jan 10, 2025, 07:52 AM
Novak Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, has claimed that he was 'poisoned' by lead and mercury in his food while detained in a Melbourne hotel during his 2022 Australian Open visa saga. The Serbian tennis star was held in the hotel after his visa was cancelled due to his unvaccinated status against Covid-19. Upon returning to Serbia, Djokovic discovered high levels of heavy metals in his system, which he attributes to the food he consumed during his detention. He described experiencing health issues and feeling 'very sick' with flu-like symptoms after the incident. Despite the ordeal, Djokovic expressed that he holds no grudge against the Australian people, though his family remains affected by the events.
