I suppose this is exactly why social media was created, to publicly denounce when one suffers an injustice. This happened to Thiago Tirante a few hours ago at an airport, as he was about to head to his next tournament, at the moment when the security team decides to search his bags. That's when they find some tennis racket strings in his bags, something common for a professional tennis player, but maybe not seen that way at the airport. "They told me I had to pay a 19% tax on the value of the strings or they would retain my passport," angrily explains the World No. 130. In the end, he had no choice but to pay, even though it was an abuse of power by the authorities.

Unbelievable what they did to @TiranteThiago at the Cancun airport, where a Challenger will be played next week. pic.twitter.com/BPZLMCOGX4
