Djokovic takes a rapid antigen test -- which is negative -- and also takes an official and approved PCR test "out of an abundance of caution," according to Djokovic's statement.Djokovic's PCR test result comes back positive later that day, according to a copy of his test result in his affidavit, but his January 12 statement says he did not receive the notification of a positive PCR test result until after a tennis event on December 17. Later, he is photographed at two events, according to images posted on his foundation's official social media, and none of the participants are masked.
To be clear he claimed he didn't receive the results until the following day, apparently the test result come back at 2000hrs, so its not clear cut that he was lying.

Djokovic is at his tennis center in Belgrade to fulfill a L'Equipe interview and photoshoot. His statement says he socially distanced and wore a mask except when his photograph was being taken.
Journalist Franck Ramella and photographer Etienne Garnier were not told Djokovic was Covid-positive before, during or after the interview with the tennis star in Belgrade, the French sports newspaper reported on January 12. Djokovic admits to "an error of judgment" in attending.
100% wrong, he should not have attended this and should have isolated.

Djokovic receives a medical exemption from Tennis Australia allowing him to enter Australia without Covid vaccination or quarantine on the grounds that he has just recovered from Covid, according to court documents.
Before the year ends, video and images appear to show Djokovic in Spain and Serbia in the two-week period before traveling to Australia. Djokovic had ticked 'No' on a travel declaration when asked if he had traveled in the 14 days prior to his arrival into Australia, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
"Appear" to show is quite the important qualification there. As far as I'm aware its completely unverified.
He also claimed that it wasn't him that incorrectly completed the form but frankly that doesn't fly, doesn't matter who you are when it comes to VISA's and official paper work you're the one responsible for the accuracy of those documents.

Djokovic's team submits his travel declaration to the Australian Ministry of Home Affairs, which notifies them that it has been assessed and he is cleared for quarantine-free arrival, according to the affidavit.
January 2
Djokovic receives a Border Travel Permit by the state government of Victoria, according to his affidavit, where Melbourne is located and where the Australian Open will take place.
This is where Aus regime have to answer some questions, they have failed to act consistently which resulted in him travelling under false pretence to Aus.

Australia's immigration minister revokes Djokovic's visa ahead of the Australian Open, saying "it was in the public interest to do so."
This is what should have happened immediately upon his VISA being given, rather than pissing about and waiting for him to arrive to do it. It wasnt a secret, he was gloating about it on social media. But instead they left it and waited till he arrived and then created this whole circus to show just how tough and pro vax the regime is. Its a scandal.

Australia has the most stringent border controls of just about any country on earth, and people are removed from here on a daily basis for breaches of their visa, but the only one to make the headlines is a self entitled, privileged, overpaid, pampered tennis player.
That would appear to be "game, set and match.....but in a land of tyranny (where he has employed the most expensive lawyers available and been able to readily access the justice system) who knows?
While I agree, its not like he could have arrived and been deported quietly being the #1 at the massive sporting event, so to use it to attack him and in some way insinuate that he was the one wanting the circus or using his position is highly disingenuous.
Germany had courts under moustache man and the soviets had them as well, sure Mao and Mussolini had them too...
Glad the whole thing is over, suspect Novak is glad he didnt end up in one of the Aus COVID concentration camps
At this stage any sporting events in Aus should really reconsider their commencement as they cant guarantee the liberty and safety of the participants.
