British tennis player Tara Moore provisionally suspended after failing drugs test | Tennisspeak

A British tennis player faces being banned from Wimbledon after being provisionally suspended over a positive drugs test.

Tara Moore, who reached the second round of the French Open and was ranked 83 in the world in doubles, tested positive for nandrolone and boldenone during the Copa Colsanitas in Bogota, Colombia, in April.The 29-year-old was provisionally suspended from May 27 pending either the testing of her B sample or a successful application to be allowed to complete untill her case concludes.

Reacting to the announcement of her suspension on Twitter, she wrote: “I have never knowingly taken a banned substance in my career. I am investigating how the positive result could have occurred and look forward to proving that I am a clean athlete. I am deeply saddened by the provisional suspension and hope to be back on the court as soon as possible.”

Moore’s suspension was confirmed by the International Tennis Integrity Agency, which said: “Ms Moore, who has a WTA doubles ranking of 83, provided a sample whilst competing at a WTA tournament in Bogota, Colombia in April 2022.

“The sample was split into A and B samples and the subsequent analysis found that the A sample contained Nandrolone metabolites and Boldenone and its metabolite, which are prohibited substances listed in the 2022 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List. Adverse Analytic Findings for non-specified substances carry a mandatory provisional suspension.

“The player now has the opportunity to request that the B sample is analysed to see if that confirms the A sample. In the meantime, the player is ineligible to compete in or attend any sanctioned tennis events organised by the governing bodies of the sport from the start of the provisional suspension on 27 May 2022.”

Moore and doubles partner Eden Silva were knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round last year, her fifth such defeat at the Championships.

She did reach the second round of the singles in 2016 but not since.

Serbs to President Joe Biden: "Novak Djokovic is not a security threat" Source: TennisWorldUSA Tennisspeak- Due to the fact that Novak Djokovic does not have access to the United States at this time as a result of his immunization problem and the fact that he is required to obtain a green pass in order to enter the United States, he is unable to compete.  On the other hand, a proposal has emerged from Serbia with the intention of providing the matter with a decisive boost, with the end objective of enabling the three-time winner of the US Open to compete in Flushing Meadows. An initiative spearheaded by Nebojsa Jovanovic, owner of a company that promotes professional tennis in Serbia. Jovanovic wrote a letter to Vice President Joe Biden, appealing to a particular legal clause in the 10294 presidential proclamations of national interest, under which foreign citizens would be granted an exemption and would therefore be able to enter the United States.

  Sam Querrey vs. Filip Krajinovic 6/16/22 Queen’s Club Tennis Picks, Predictions, Odds,Live | Tennisspeak Sam Querrey will meet Filip Krajinovic in the Round of 16 at the 2022 Queen’s Club Championships. The match will be played on Thursday June 16th, 2022 at 11:00am EST. Filip Krajinovic is ranked #48 in the world and is playing in the Queen's Club Championships as an unseeded player. The Serbian has a horrible track record on grass, and hasn't won a match at Wimbledon since 2012. His first grass competition of the season, Queen's, saw him defeat Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 6-3 in the first round. During that match, Krajinovic returned exceptionally well, something he'll need to do even better against Sam Querrey's massive serving. He isn't a natural on grass, but he has a terrific all-around game, is at ease at the net, and has a good slice. The huge American may be troubled by his versatility, but he will most certainly struggle with the situation. Sam Querrey...
