Djokovic calls for doping transparency

AFP BRISBANE, Australia — Novak Djokovic on Sunday called for more transparency around doping suspensions in tennis, saying high-ranked players appeared to have been treated differently to others. The 24-time Grand Slam champion agreed with Australian Nick Kyrgios, who on Saturday said integrity in the sport was "awful". The 37-year-old Djokovic, who will play doubles with Kyrgios at the Brisbane International this week, said there needed to be far greater transparency from the sport's governing bodies around doping violations. "Tennis integrity right now — and everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it — it's awful," the Australian said on Saturday, adding that the sport's image was tarnished.
