Becker slams Murray for comments made in 2016 saying they were out of order

Andy Murray is currently enjoying his best stretch of this year. The Brit played two great matches and he is into the 3rd round of Wimbledon. There he will face a very tough opponent in Denis Shapovalov but Andy is up for the challenge. Boris Becker however slammed Murray recently for comments made back in 2016.

Quite a row erupted back in 2016 when Murray said:

"I have played against players and thought, 'They don't seem to be getting tired'. Have I ever been suspicious of someone? Yeah. You hear things."

In Becker's opinion those comments were out of order as he explained:

"We have random drug testing and unless it's proven, they are 100 per cent innocent.So to throw in a curveball and assume something because somebody has won a Grand Slam or is fitter I think is totally out of order. Andy is one of the fittest players on the tour – he often outlasts other players and nobody is questioning his ethics. It's a very dangerous subject. I can only repeat that tennis is clean. I believe 100 per cent Andy is clean."

On the subject Becker further added:

"Roger [Federer] is clean, Rafa [Nadal] is clean, Stan [Wawrinka] is clean, all these guys are clean. There was always a suspicion of Rafa and I find that so unbelievably disrespectful about one of the greatest players of all time. I can only speak for Novak [Djokovic] and believe me he gets tested a lot! That can mean twice in a Grand Slam."

On Djokovic and testing he said:

"In Melbourne he got tested in the first week and the second week. He would be playing a match at night and somebody comes to his hotel room at 7am to do a urine test and I think, 'how dare you.' But those are the rules."
