Scandal

- The controversy is about her participation and the fundamental definition of cognitive enhancement by drugs
- A campaign against her entrance into the PCAG is being led by Jonas Sawgrass of the Alliance for Clean Players
- on 17-JUN-05, during her debut match (against Mikhail Terpening), protesters bought out a block of tickets and jeered the 14-year-old athlete.
- She left the stage crying.
- She still managed to win against Terpening.
