Tennis: Murray wants tougher actions on doping
Murray authorities need to be proactive.
World number three Andy Murray has called for tennis to crack down on doping and urged the sport’s authorities to introduce more out-of-competition testing, according to ESPN. He believes the authorities need to be proactive in order to avoid the possibility of a scandal like the one that has engulfed cycling. “I think tennis at the top level has been pretty clean compared to most sports,” said Murray. “But that isn’t to say more can’t be done to make 100 per cent sure there are no issues. The out-of-competition stuff could probably get better. When we’re in December, when people are training and setting their bases, it would be good to do more around that time.”
