Rafael Nadal, the Spanish tennis ace, has landed himself in controversy yet again. The Spanish champion has struggled recently to control the discomfort brought on by a chronic foot problem. However, Rafael Nadal’s moral integrity might be questioned for his injections at the 2022 French Open. French tennis player Arnaud Clement gave his views about the Spaniard.

Since then, Nadal has admitted that the French Open is the only event where he would compete with injections. Even while it is legal to use painkiller injections in tennis and the majority of other sports, some elite athletes in the world have questioned his integrity. Cycling has a tight prohibition against injections because the sport has recently been marred by several doping scandals.

Arnaud Clement believes in Rafael Nadal

According to Eurosport (Google translated), Arnaud Clement, claims that Rafael Nadal did not use any of the banned drugs during the 2022 French Open. Top tennis players including Kamil Majchrzak, Fernando Verdasco, and Simona Halep have tested positive for taking illicit substances. In an exclusive interview, Clement said, “I never asked myself the question about Rafael Nadal, especially after the last Roland Garros, everything he did.”
