Djokovic reacts to doping suspension for Jarry: "He doesn't seem like a person who wants to break the rules"
Tennis News
Nicolas Jarry was provisionally suspended recently alongside Robert Farah for failed drugs tests and Novak Djokovic has weighed in on the situation.
Jarry was suspended at the Davis Cup Finals in November. These were for urine samples which tested positive for the anabolic agent ligandrol and anabolic steroid stanozolol.
Djokovic said that while he cannot say for sure he doesn't think Jarry would be the type to take performance enhancing drugs and that it is up to him now to prove this is not the case.
“I am not sure what is his case. I cannot say if he is innocent or not, because I do not know, but he should definitely try his best, if he feels that a suspension is not his due, to prove his innocence.” La Tercera quoted Djokovic as saying.
“You know, we try to keep the sport clean, absolutely. I support that we have to be tested as many times as necessary. And I don’t think Jarry is a doping type of guy. I don’t know him so well, but he doesn’t seem like a person who wants to break the rules. You see a very good guy who works hard and likes tennis. It seems not to be the case. Hopefully he can return to the courts soon. ”
