The International Tennis Federation announced that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has

partially upheld the appeal by Robert Kendrick against the decision of the independent tribunal dated

29 July 2011.

The independent tribunal had determined that Mr Kendrick should be suspended from participation for

a period of 12 months, commencing from 22 May 2011 and so ending at midnight on 21 May 2012 for

the commission of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation under Article C.1 of the Tennis Anti-Doping

Programme (presence of a Prohibited Substance in player’s sample).

The CAS panel decided that the independent tribunal’s decision be set aside, and replaced with a

period of ineligibility of eight months, with the start back-dated to 22 May 2011, the date on which the

positive sample was provided. He thus will be eligible to participate on 22 January 2012.

Mr Kendrick’s results from Roland Garros remain disqualified, including forfeiture of the prize money

and ranking points won at that event. Mr Kendrick is permitted to retain the prize money won at the

UNICEF Open in s’-Hertogenbosch.

The full decision, with reasons, will follow in due course.
