Jenson Brooksby, a 22-year-old tennis player from California, has accepted a provisional suspension from the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) after being accused of missing three doping tests over a 12-month period. Despite the suspension, Brooksby vehemently denied using any banned substances and expressed his intention to go to arbitration with the ITIA. His lawyer, Howard Jacobs, stated that there were no allegations of him taking banned substances and expressed confidence in the outcome of the case. Jacobs also represents Simona Halep, who had previously failed a drug test at the 2022 U.S. Open.Brooksby last played at the Australian Open in January, where he achieved an upset victory before being eliminated in the third round. Since then, he has faced personal and professional challenges, including splitting from his longtime coach and dealing with wrist injuries. Despite all the difficulties, Brooksby is eager to put everything behind him and return to the court.
In a press release, Brooksby maintained his innocence and stated that the provisional suspension does not imply guilt. He expressed frustration with the situation and emphasized his willingness to provide all the necessary evidence. According to his advisor, Amrit Narasimhan, Brooksby received a letter from the ITIA notifying him of a potential rule violation.
While awaiting arbitration, Brooksby remains committed to respecting the protocols of the anti-doping program and supporting the integrity of the sport. He is determined to prove his innocence and make a successful comeback to the tennis tour.
