Jenson Brooksby has his doping ban reduced, can play in March
The HinduAmerican tennis player Jenson Brooksby’s suspension for missing three doping tests will end on March 3, 10 months earlier than the original date, the International Tennis Integrity Agency said Thursday. “The last 13 months have been exhausting, and a nightmare I don’t wish on anyone.” The ITIA said in October that Brooksby was banned until January 2025 after an independent tribunal determined he missed three drug tests in the span of a year. The ITIA said Brooksby accepted that his “whereabouts failures” for two of the missed tests “were valid” and the tribunal found his degree of fault for the other test “was high.” Under antidoping rules, athletes can be penalized without a positive test if they have three “whereabout failures” within 12 months. The agreement to cut the suspension came after “new information relating to the circumstances giving rise to the missed tests” was submitted as part of Brooksby’s appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland.
