NOVAK Djokovic claims he was “poisoned” by food he ate while detained during his 2022 Australian Open visa saga.
The 24-times major tennis winner had his visa cancelled ahead of the tournament following days of drama over the country’s Covid entry rules and his unvaccinated status.

He was detained in a Melbourne hotel shared with asylum seekers.
“I realised that in that hotel in Melbourne I was fed with some food that poisoned me,” said Djokovic, who is known to monitor his diet strictly.
“I had some discoveries when I came back to Serbia. I never told this to anybody publicly, but discoveries that I was, I had a really high level of heavy metal. Heavy metal. I had the lead, very high level of lead and mercury.”
