CAS Imposes Four-Year Ban on British Tennis Player Tara Moore

Adjudicators ruled that Moore could not prove that contaminated meat caused the banned substances to appear in her test.

Overview

  • The four-year suspension begins July 15, 2025, with Moore’s provisional suspension time fully credited against the ban.
  • The ruling reverses a December 2023 tribunal decision that had cleared Moore based on her claim of unintentional ingestion.
  • Moore’s sample from the April 2022 Bogotá WTA event tested positive for Boldenone and Nandrolone.
  • The Tennis Integrity Agency appealed in January 2024, presenting a scientific report that deemed Moore’s contamination defense insufficient.
  • The outcome underscores the strict liability standard under the World Anti-Doping Code and CAS’s authority in doping disputes.
