Marinko Matosevic, a former Australian tennis No. 1 who reached a career-high ranking of 39 in 2013, has been banned from tennis for four years after an independent tribunal found him guilty of five anti-doping rule violations committed between 2018 and 2020, including blood doping and providing doping advice to other players. The 40-year-old, now a coach, had initially denied all charges before admitting to blood doping on social media shortly before his hearing and criticized the International Tennis Integrity Agency's investigative practices as "corrupt."
