Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev reacted to the information that the American Jenson Brooksby Suspended from competition by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA).
An American tennis player is accused of failing three doping tests in 12 months. Brooksby on social media said he accepted the temporary suspension, but denies the allegations and intends to appeal.
– Can you tell us what the anti-doping system is for a player, what is your opinion?
– I find it difficult to answer. I think the fight against doping in sport is a good thing. We need it because you never know who’s cheating and who’s not cheating.
The side effect of this is that… I’m not quite sure what I’m talking about, but for example, five milligrams of a banned substance in the analysis, although in some cases even anti-doping authorities say it can’t affect your performance. It could be a protein shake, who knows, or the water you drink.
As for the Brooksby case, I haven’t seen the details, but what I heard from my coaches…I failed two tests myself. This was my first year working in the ADAMS system. It is not easy.
I don’t know. Imagine that you are unmarried and decide to have sex with your girlfriend, who is an hour away from you, and decide at the last moment. You forgot to change the time interval. A failed test. Three can run fast enough.
I can imagine your intercom isn’t working. Yes, all kinds of stories can happen,” Medvedev told a news conference.
