Overview

• Max Purcell, a 27-year-old Australian and US Open doubles champion, has accepted an 18-month doping suspension imposed by the ITIA.
• The suspension stems from Purcell exceeding the 100 ml intravenous infusion limit during a vitamin treatment in December 2023.
• Purcell’s cooperation with investigators led to a reduced penalty from 24 months to 18 months, with credit for his voluntary provisional suspension starting December 2024.
• All results and prize money earned between December 16, 2023, and February 3, 2024, have been annulled due to the violation.
• Purcell will be barred from competing or attending events until June 11, 2026, marking a significant setback in his professional career.
