Dopingtest positiv

[Daniel]

Ich weiß nicht, ob einige es hier schon wissen, ich hab gerade bei sport1.de gelesen, dass der Brite Greg Rusedski positiv auf Nandrolon getestet wurde.

Also, wenn sich das bestätigen sollte, dürfte seine Karriere wohl vorbei sein.

Greg Rusedski on Thursday night vowed to prove his innocence after confirming he has tested positive for the banned drug nandrolone.

The Canadian-born British number two faces an ATP hearing in Montreal on February 9.

In a statement he said: "In response to media inquiries I confirm that I have been advised by the ATP anti-doping administrator that a sample I provided tested positive for a low concentration of nandrolone metabolites.

"I wish to make it clear that I do not and never have taken performance enhancing drugs.

"This is a very complex situation which once understood will clearly demonstrate my total innocence.

"There is a hearing to be held in Montreal on February 9 which I shall attend. I fully expect to be found innocent."

Earlier this week Rusedski laughed off suggestions he had returned a positive drug test when asked by a journalist in Adelaide, where he lost the second match of his comeback from injury today, going down 6-2 6-2 to unseeded Frenchman Cyril Saulnier.

The 30-year-old had been on the sidelines since losing both his singles matches in last September's Davis Cup defeat in Morocco.

It is believed the test dates from a tournament he played in July in Indianapolis, a month before he made a disappointing first round exit from the US Open at the hands of France's Gregory Carraz.
