Cilic free to play after dope ban cut
Print Edition
Marin Cilic’s ban for doping was reduced from a “too severe” nine months to four yesterday, clearing him play at the Paris Masters next week.
Facing a possible two-year ban requested by the International Tennis Federation, the Court of Arbitration for Sport sided with the Croatian player. Cilic tested positive for a banned stimulant in May but claimed he had not intended to ingest it in a glucose tablet bought at a pharmacy. The 25-year-old Croatian player was cleared to return from midnight yesterday. Cilic’s ranking, which has dropped to No. 47, is set for an immediate boost with the return of his points from events including the French Open, Wimbledon and the Queen’s Club, where he was runner-up to Andy Murray.
