Jenson Brooksby claims to be present for the drug test after being allegedly blamed for missing it

After the provisional suspension for Jenson was issued, he posted on social media that he would have to accept the suspension, but he does not accept the charge. The tests which are told to be missed by him were supposed to be conducted 2 days before the start of the ATP 250, so he had to be present at the hotel where the tournament was happening.

He mentioned that he was present at the hotel the whole time he said he would be there. Further, he also added that he would be more than happy to provide all the evidence that is needed. He also called for arbitration with an independent panel and hopes that it will help him clear his name from this false blame.
