Nadal asks for all doping tests to be revealed

Fourteen-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal asked for the results of all drugs tests he has taken in his career to be released to the public in a letter to the International Tennis Federation (ITF) on Tuesday.

Doping comment fires up Rafa Doping comment fires up Rafa Nadal has never failed a drug test in his many years on the ATP Tour and has always vehemently denied ever using a banned substance.

The ITF acknowledged receipt of Nadal’s letter and confirmed he had never committed a doping violation, while inviting the Spaniard to personally make his records public.

“The ITF has received a letter from Rafael Nadal that includes a request to release his personal test results under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP),” the federation said in a statement.

Nadal has never failed a test under the TADP and has not been suspended at any time for an anti-doping rule violation (or for any other reason related to the TADP).

The spectre of doping in tennis has drawn increased attention in recent months after five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova admitted she failed a test for the banned substance meldonium at this year’s Australian Open.
