Briton Tara Moore suspended under Anti-Doping rule

London, June 9 British tennis player Tara Moore has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for banned substance under Anti-Doping Programme.
Moore, who has a WTA doubles ranking of 83, provided a sample while 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,” the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) said on Wednesday.
“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 29-year-old player is ineligible to compete in or attend any sanctioned tennis events organised by the governing bodies of the sport.
Reacting on her provisional suspension, Moore tweeted: “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.”
