Purcell seems to have used a ‘Prohibitated Method’:
Very little to work with that one. A little bit more from the BBC:
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) today confirms that Australian tennis player Max Purcell has elected to enter into a voluntary provisional suspension under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP).
26-year-old Purcell, currently ranked world number 12 in doubles, has admitted to a breach of Article 2.2 of the TADP relating to the use of a Prohibited Method, and requested to enter into a provisional suspension on 10 December 2024. The suspension came into effect on 12 December 2024, and time served under provisional suspension will be credited against any future sanction.
Very little to work with that one. A little bit more from the BBC:
Tennis Australia say the ITIA have confirmed the breach related to a prohibited method "rather than the presence of a prohibited substance".
The ITIA charged men's world number one Jannik Sinner and women's world number two Iga Swiatek over breaches of its anti-doping programme earlier this year.
