Tennis: Australian doubles ace provisionally suspended for doping

# Tennis: Australian star player Max Purcell was provisionally suspended for doping after admitting to a breach of regulations. The 26-year-old is a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, having won Wimbledon together with compatriot Matt Ebden in 2022, and the US Open with American partner Jordan Thompson earlier this year. The suspension means he won’t be able to play in next month’s Australian Open. Tennis Australia says the breach relates to a prohibited method rather than a prohibited substance.
