This news comes as a surprise!
Novak Djokovic (34) and his wife Jelena (35) own 80 percent of the shares in the Danish biotech company QuantBioRes. This is what the head of the company, Ivan Loncarevic, told the Archyde.com news agency. According to “AFP”, the Serb is even a co-founder.
Djokovic, who is not vaccinated, is pumping money into corona research!
QuantBioRes wants to develop a medical treatment against Covid-19. The company currently employs around 20 people in Denmark, Australia and Serbia. The company is developing a peptide that blocks the coronavirus from infecting human cells. Clinical trials are expected to start in the UK this summer.
“Our goal is to develop a new technology to combat viruses and resistant bacteria. If we can do this with the corona virus, we will also be able to do it with all other viruses,” said Loncarevic.
When asked what the amount of Djokovic’s investment, which was made in June 2020, was, CEO Loncarevic refused to answer. The investment coincides with the founding of the company.
When asked by “AFP”, Djokovic’s spokesman did not want to comment on the participation in the company.
Djokovic was expelled from Australia on Sunday after days of legal battle. The (still) world number one wanted to take part in the Australian Open with a medical exemption without being vaccinated.
However, his visa had been canceled because Djokovic could not provide sufficient evidence for the special permit. The federal court in Melbourne declared the withdrawal of the visa to be legal, after which the Serb had to leave the country.
