A low-ranked tennis player from Brazil was cleared in a doping case by the International Tennis Integrity Agency this week after saying his positive drug test for an anabolic steroid was caused by eating contaminated meat while he was entered in a tournament in Colombia. The ITIA announced Thursday that Nicolas Zanellato can return to competition after sitting out for six months while he was provisionally suspended. The group that investigates and punishes doping and corruption in tennis ruled that Zanellato “bore no fault or negligence for (the) anti-doping rule violation,” based on “interviews, review of detailed documentation, and advice from independent WADA-approved scientists.”
