Max Purcell: Wimbledon men’s doubles champion provisionally suspended after anti-doping breach
Two-time Grand Slam doubles champion Max Purcell has been provisionally suspended after admitting a breach of anti-doping rules.
The 26-year-old Australian has taken a voluntary suspension after admitting breaking World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) rules relating to the “use of a prohibited method”.
Purcell, whose major titles came at Wimbledon in 2022 and this year’s US Open, said he had “unknowingly received” an intravenous infusion of vitamins which was above the 100ml limit allowed by Wada.
Purcell said he alerted the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) – the independent body which enforces Wada rules – after the issue came to light when he received medical records last week.
“This news was devastating to me because I pride myself on being an athlete who always makes sure everything is Wada safe,” he said.
“I volunteered the information to the ITIA and have been as transparent as possible to put this issue behind me.”
