Tennis Player Jenson Brooksby Receives 18-Month Suspension for Three Missed Drug Tests

Despite Acknowledging Two "Valid" Test Absences, Brooksby Disputes Third, Plans to Appeal Suspension Before January 2025 Reinstatement

American tennis player Jenson Brooksby received an 18-month suspension after an independent tribunal found he missed three drug tests within a year.
While Brooksby accepted that his 'whereabouts failures' for two of the missed tests were valid, he disputes the high degree of fault determined for the third.
Despite the missed tests, Brooksby insists he has never taken a banned substance and has already undergone five tests since March 2023, all of which he passed.
Brooksby, previously ranked as high as No. 33, is currently at No. 301 in the rankings due to a prolonged absence from competition following surgeries for dislocated wrist tendons.
Brooksby plans to appeal his suspension within the three-week window provided, with hopes of returning to play before the reinstatement date in January 2025.
