<p>From the WSJ article:</p>
<p><em>The company claims that spending up to 20 minutes in the pod three times a week can boost athletic performance by improving circulation, boosting oxygen-rich red-blood cells, removing lactic acid and possibly even stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis and stem-cell production.</em></p>

<p>I don't see how the ATP could make something retroactively illegal if it was never mentioned in the regulations. I have not read the regs, but I find it hard to believe that they would modify any previous results. Their ruling would be in effect from that date forward. </p>

<p>I do think that it is very interesting at how Nole is distancing himself from The Chamber. In the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904787404576532854267519860.html" target="_blank">WSJ…</a></p>

And then later in an interview, he said he only used it a few times and that it was not regular. Mark T, it sounds like you are trying to put an asterisk on Nole's grand slam, but I just don't think it is going to go that far.</p> So Rafa rebounded nicely.

So Rafa rebounded nicely. Totally spanking Gasquet on the clay of Spain. Meanwhile Djoko pulled the no-show card, citing back problems. Serbia's repeat of Davis Cup dominance is in jeopardy. Troicki lost first thing, and Tipsarevic is in trouble against Delpo.

<p>If Nadal had a strong slice second serve, that could hurt Djokovic's two hander. I know people think that's his better side, but a heavy slice serve would hurt him, especially leaving Nadal a fh dl on ad serving.</p>
<p>Fed has two or three different speed slice backhands which bothers Djoko. If Nadal worked on his slice bh, and hit some short to bring Djoko up, then he's vulnerable again. He's not very good on overheads and so-so on volleys.</p>

I agree. Watching during the finals, he still looked like he was having breathing problems. It will definitely be an interesting next couple of years. And of course this is always good for tennis.

Yeah, I wonder if he can dominate like Lendl, Sampras, Borg or Fed. I still think he's not built as sturdy as those guys.

Well, at this point we don't know if it is legal or not. Once the investigation is completed then all the cards will be put on the table, and it will be what it is. But like anything else, once deemed one way or the other, it won't be long before everyone is using it or avoiding it. Then the advantage will be nullified.
