Djokovic ala… Ironman – The “chip” he has stuck to his chest in his games

by

Novak Djokovic after winning the first set in his match against Fucovic took off his shirt to put on another one. This was the moment he revealed a new “creation” of the technology he uses to improve his performance.

The… something like a coin, a chip, that he had taped to his chest has become a topic of discussion with many wondering what it is. No, Djokovic didn’t become… Ironman, but this chip, is Taopatch.

It is a nanotechnology device that is said to improve coordination and harmony in the wearer’s movements. The Taopatch collects sunlight and the heat from it to… provide the above to its user’s body, with the lifetime of each “coin” reaching 720 hours.

Novak Djokovic is the first long range athlete to use it and in his statements he claims that he feels the improvement.

The… discovery of Taopatch has also brought backlash, with many twitter users questioning whether this fits within the sports ethics framework, and whether or not it is… a kind of doping.
