During the investigation, the player accepted the doping breach, and the ITIA also accepted his explanation.

Overview

  • The ITIA credited time served under Fancutt’s voluntary provisional suspension, concluding his 10-month ineligibility on January 18, 2026.
  • He must forfeit all results and prize money earned between December 3, 2024, and his first negative test on January 16, 2025.
  • Fancutt admitted to receiving over 100 mL of an IV infusion within 12 hours on December 3, 2024, and maintained the breach was accidental.
  • His sanction was reduced based on early admission and full cooperation after the ITIA found no intentional wrongdoing.
  • The decision follows Max Purcell’s 18-month ban and underscores intensified anti-doping enforcement of IV-infusion thresholds in professional tennis.
