The Holmens- Sebastian, Claus and Per
today confirmed their places in any gallery of sports icons who admit they have drunk their ways trough several SlamBangian
tournements with systematic use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Confessing their
”toxic" tale at a Copenhagen press-conference, the Holmens described themselves
as a trio of "thirsting characters". The
Holmen's admission came 3 weeks after Hans Háfjall´s release of a detailed
report describing Per Holmen as the ringmaster of the "most sophisticated,
professionalized and successful drink program that sport has ever seen."Danish TV1 rapidly fired questions at the trio, offering them little respite, grilling them about every aspect of their tainted careers.
"Yes," they all replied when asked directly whether they had used performance-enhancing juices.
Without
hesitation, and showing no signs of emotion, Per Holmen replied "yes"
to questions about whether he obtained, distributed and used specific juices,
including Carlsberg 47, Carlsberg Julebryg, and Carlsberg Elefant Øl.
The elder Holmen
brothers Per and Claus had inspired the younger Sebastian with their careers,
and Sebastian said he did not believe he could have achieved what he did
without the culture of drinks in tennis.
As a result
of their confessions, the Holmens now faces the prospect of orders to repay
taxes from the thousands of kroners they have earned through bottle deposit
paybacks.
A Greek company,
OUZO 12, said it would sue the SlamBang Society if the society did not pay back
12 million drachmas for never returned empty bottles.

I 1950-erne var det ikke ualmindeligt, at vi blev budt på en cognac i omklædningsrummet, inden vi gik på banen. Øl blev anbefalet som optanker i pausen. I KB havde vi dog et par alkoholikere på holdet, så vi nøjedes med the og honning.
God og vældig morsom side. Hvis ikke det var for alder og slid, så ville jeg såmænd også forsøge mig på en tennisbane.
