• Bookmarks: 23


MUMBAI (Reuters) – Peruvian player Arklon Huertas Del Pino has been handed a two-year ban for doping, the International Tennis Federation has said.

The 25-year-old was handed a provisional suspension in December after his sample, which he provided during a tournament in Lima, was found to contain cannabis.

“An Independent Tribunal determined that his violation was not intentional … but found that he could not sustain his plea of No Significant Fault or Negligence,” an ITF statement said late on Monday.

Del Pino, who has a doubles ranking of 337, will be suspended till Oct. 23, 2021 after his period of ineligibility was back-dated to the date of sample collection, the ITF added.
