Biz Bits: All Good in the Wozilroy Hood, Sampras On Doping

By Nick McCarvel

Wozniacki and McIlroyIt's All Good in the Wozilroy Hood: Actually make that "great!" Rory McIlroy put the clamp down on rumors that he and Caroline Wozniacki had broken up after Rory stormed off the golf course during a tournament a week ago. "Everything on that front is great and I'm looking forward to seeing her next week when she gets to Miami," McIlroy told reporters on Wednesday. The two hadn't tweeted at one another over the last week either (yep, that now counts as a break-up sign!), further fueling the speculation that they may have had a rift.
 
This is Suri-ous: Like really, really serious. Suri Cruise was spotted in New York on Monday with a pink tennis racket in hand - pink! - causing gossip blogs to explode with the speculation that she has given up her beloved gymnastics.

It's Clean, Y'all! Tennis legend Pete Sampras spoke out on Monday at the LA Tennis Challenge, saying that doping in tennis is limited to "a random case here and there." "It's just my feeling," Sampras continued. But the follow up wasn't that assuring: "I don't think players are that sophisticated in tennis." Not that sophisticated? That's one way of putting it. That said, WTA players in Indian Wells said Wednesday that they didn't think there was doping in tennis, either, adding that the testing they went through week in and week out was stringent and comprehensive.
