Jenson Brooksby has been provisionally suspended by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA). The 22-year-old American is accused of missing three drug tests in the last 12 months.
He accepts a temporary ban, Brooksby told the AP news agency on Wednesday. At the same time, however, he denied a doping offense: “I have never failed a drug test. I have never taken any harmful substances.” He wants to call an arbitration board.
