Tennis star Novak Djokovic has confirmed that his food was poisoned by lead and mercury before the 2022 Australian Open deportation saga.
Speaking with GQ magazine in a lengthy interview, Djokovic stated that he does not hold “any grudge over the Australian people” despite the 2022 controversy.
“I had some discoveries when I came back to Serbia. I never told this to anybody publicly, but discoveries that I had a really high level of heavy metal. I had lead, a very high level of lead and mercury.”

“A lot of Australian people that I meet in Australia the last few years or elsewhere in the world, have come up to me, apologising to me for the treatment I received because they were embarrassed by their own government at that point,” he said.
“And I think the government’s changed, and they reinstated my visa, and I was very grateful for that.
“I actually love being there, and I think my results are a testament to my sensation of playing tennis and just being in that country.”
