Max Purcell, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion from Australia, has accepted an 18-month ban for breaching anti-doping rules. The incident, which began in December 2023, has had a significant impact on his life. Despite not testing positive for a banned substance, his actions of receiving intravenous infusions of over 500ml of vitamins violated the regulations. The International Tennis Integrity Agency conducted a full investigation, and Purcell's cooperation led to a 25% reduction in the sanction. This case highlights the importance of maintaining the integrity of tennis and serves as a reminder of the strict anti-doping rules in the sport.
