Integrity and sportsmanship are some of the things that keep the spirit of the game alive among the fans. However, there are moments when players can use unusual ways to bring out the best of their games, the ways that go beyond the rules of the game.

After the recent developments over the Simona Halep case, the tennis world has now seen another aspiring star go down. According to recent reports, Bini has reportedly been suspended from the game after he failed to pass the doping test. This has come out as a shocker to many as the player after going to multiple checkups, got the ban.

Brazilian player Victor Bini was handed a 13-month suspension after failing dope tests

In a recent revelation, Brazilian tennis player Victor Bini has suffered a 13-month suspension for violating the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP). This comes after a drug test conducted during a tournament in Brazil on April 26, 2023, revealed the presence of clomiphene metabolites. This is a prohibited anti-estrogenic substance which comes under the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) prohibited list. After the substance was found present in his urine sample, he was not allowed to play the game.

Bini who has a career-high ATP singles ranking of 1631, admitted to the anti-doping rule violation (ADRV). He presented all the evidence and said that the source of the clomiphene was a contaminated bespoke supplement which was manufactured in Brazil. His submission included photographs of the supplement taken. After all the reports were confirmed, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced that he would not take part in any tournament and handed him a ban.
