Update: Colombian Robert Farah also tested positive<\/a> and has been provisionally banned. This is a developing story, and we will update this article as more information comes in.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nicolas Jarry, the Chilean World #78, has been suspended from all tennis from today<\/a>. This follows the testing of a sample given at the Davis Cup Finals in November 2019.<\/p>\n

The urine sample provided by the 24-year-old was tested by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and found contain a substance on the 2019 WADA prohibited list. The specific substance is referred to as SARM LGD-4033, also known as Ligandrol metabolite and Stanozolol metabolite. These substances fall under the section of the WADA list for anabolic agents.<\/p>\n

Jarry was charged with the anti-doping violation on 4th January 2020 and has been provisionally suspended today (14th January 2020). The former World #38 has, so far, not made an appeal to the chair of the independent tribunal, but does retain the right to do so.<\/p>\n

The Chilean #1 released the following statement about the provisional suspension.<\/p>\n

Recent precedents for similar offenses<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia was provisionally suspended from tennis in June 2019 for a similar SARM-based result<\/a>. It is still unclear how long Haddad Maia is to be suspended for. Therefore it is difficult to predict the next steps for Nicolas Jarry in this case.<\/p>\n

Other recent cases that may guide the future for Jarry may include Maria Sharapova’s case in 2016. The Russian’s positive test for meldonium led to an initial two-year suspension from tennis. This was subsequently reduced to fifteen months after Sharapova was found to have committed “no serious fault”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Current British #1 Daniel Evans was also suspended from the sport, though this was as a result of recreational drug use<\/a>. The offense, therefore, was treated slightly differently as the drug was found to have no positive impact on athletic performance.<\/p>\n
