Djokovic is a conspiracy super spreader

When the world’s number one tennis player Novak Djokovic found himself locked in a Melbourne hotel because he’d entered Australia without being vaccinated, he sent out an urgent request for gluten-free food.

The 34-year-old Serbian — currently at the centre of a furious dispute over his right to stay for the Australian Open — is allergic to wheat. How does he know? Step forward Dr Igor Cetojevic, a celebrity practitioner of alternative medicine who teaches that molecules of water react to emotions and that ‘subtle toxins’ seep out of mobile phones.

In 2011 Djokovic consulted Cetojevic, who connected his wrists and forehead to ‘a biofeedback device’ designed to measure stress, environmental toxins, brainwaves and food allergies. This curious device indicated that Djokovic was allergic to gluten. Cetojevic also made him hold a slice of bread against his stomach with one hand and raise the other in the air. The raised arm ‘felt weak’.
