Tennis: Kendrick to appeal drug ban

Suspended the 31-year-old American last week after he returned a positive test result for methylhexaneamine.

SAN DIEGO:
Banned US tennis player Robert Kendrick will appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport to shorten his 12-month suspension for doping. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) suspended the 31-year-old American last week after he returned a positive test result for methylhexaneamine (MHA) at the French Open. Kendrick wants his suspension reduced to three months, which would allow him to compete at the US Open.
