In August 2023 Sport Ireland reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Cocaine. Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete filed a statement in his defence.
The Athlete explained with evidence that prior he underwent medical treatment in a hospital and had used prescribed medication. Nevertheless Sport Ireland determined that his prescribed medication was permitted and that his medical treatment could not explain the presence of Cocaine in his sample.
Hereafter the Athlete admitted the recreational use of Cocaine in June 2023. Thereupon the Athlete failed to respond to Sport Ireland's communications, nor provided corroborating evidence that his use of Cocaine had occurred out-of-competition.
In October 2023 Sport Ireland established that the Athlete failed to dispute the asserted anti-doping rule violation within the set deadline. Accordingly Sport Ireland deemed that the Athlete has admitted the anti-doping rule violation, to have waived a hearing, and to have accept the proposed sanction.
Therefore Sport Ireland decides on 20 December 2023 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 3 August 2023.

Sport nutrition and doping in tennis: an analysis of athletes' attitudes and knowledge / Miran Kondric, Damir Sekulic, Ognjen Uljevic, Goran Gabrilo, Milan Zvan. - (Journal of Sports Science and Medicine 12 (2013) 2 (1 June); p. 290-297)
Abstract
Nutrition and doping issues are rarely studied in the sport of tennis. The aims of this investigation were to determine knowledge on doping (KD) and knowledge on sport nutrition (KSN), and corresponding socio-demographic-, sport-, and sport-nutrition- and doping-factors among an international sample of high-level tennis players of both sexes (43 females; 22 years old on average). In the first phase of the investigation, the KSN and KD questionnaires were studied for their reliability and validity. The consumption of NS is found to be very high, with almost of all the females and 80% of the males using NS at least occasionally. The athletes showed a low tendency regarding future doping usage, although most of them are convinced that doping does exist in tennis. Since athletes declared that their coaches are their main source of information about NS and doping, future studies should investigate what coaches actually know about such problems. KSN has been found to be protective against potential doping behavior in the future. Males are found to be more prone to doping than females. Therefore, in order to prevent doping behavior in tennis we strongly suggest intensive educational programs on sports nutrition and doping-related problems. Key PointsThe incidence of nutritional supplementation use among the tennis players is found to be very high, especially among the females.Although most of the subjects are of the opinion that the doping behavior is present in tennis circuit, we have found a low tendency regarding future doping usage, and high levels of athletes' trust in their coaches with regard to nutritional supplementation and doping.There are indices that the knowledge about nutrition is protective factor against potential doping behavior. It clearly reinforces the need to include a wide educational program on sports nutrition in tennis, but also in other sports.
