The current US OPEN champion in the paired discharge Max Persell was disqualified for 18 months by the International Tennis Agency (ITIA) for a violation of the rules of tennis anti -doping program.

About it It is said On the ITIA website.

According to the source, the 27-year-old Australian found a violation of Article 2.2 TADP (use of the prohibited method), receiving intravenous injections of more than 500 ml 16 and December 20, 2023. The limit set by the World Anti-Doping Code and TADP is 100 ml over the 12-hour period.

ITIA sent the player a message about a potential violation of anti -doping rules (ADRV) on December 12, 2024, and on the same day the player applied for voluntary temporary removal, which came into force immediately.

After a full ITIA investigation, which included the collection of evidence and interview with the player, Persell has recognized his violations. Complete player cooperation and information exchange with ITIA made it possible to reduce disqualification by 25%.

The time spent during voluntary temporary removal is credited to the disqualification period. Thus, the Ban of Persell will end on June 11, 2026. The player will also be deprived of the results and prizes from the date of the first ADRV (December 16, 2023) to the first subsequent negative doping control, which was provided on February 3, 2024.

During the disqualification of Persell, it is forbidden to play, train or attend any tennis competitions allowed or authorized by ITIA (ATP, ITF, WTA, Tennis Australia, French Tennis Federation, Wimbledon and Usta) or any national association.

We will remind that the game day on April 28 at the tournament in Madrid has been canceled Due to the lack of electricity.
