Djokovic Says He Was Poisoned Before 2022 Australia Deportation

Former world number one tennis player Novak Djokovic has claimed that he was poisoned by lead and mercury in his meals while he was briefly detained in Melbourne in 2022 before his deportation just before the Australian Open.

The Serbian had his visa revoked and was ultimately expelled from Australia due to his refusal to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. He was kept in a detention hotel as he fought a legal battle to stay in the country.

I encountered some health issues. And I discovered that while in that hotel in Melbourne, the food I was served caused me poisoning, the 37-year-old Djokovic shared with GQ magazine in a detailed interview published on Thursday.

I made some findings when I returned to Serbia. I have never publicly disclosed this before, but I discovered that I had significantly elevated levels of heavy metals. I had a high concentration of lead and mercury.

When asked whether he believed his food was tainted, the Serb responded, Thats the only possibility.
