Tara Moore landed in a huge mess after traces of some prohibited substance were found in her samples. She has been on the tour for a long time and the Brit is still confused about how the prohibited substances got into her samples.

The 29-year-old is a Hong Kong-born British tennis player who has won nine singles titles and 17 doubles titles on the ITF Circuit. She hasn’t been able to do very well at the highest levels of professional tennis but won an ITF tournament in Australia at the beginning of the year.

However, in April the brit landed in huge trouble after her sample A showed traces of “Nandrolone metabolites and Boldenone and its metabolite”. The ITF has provisionally suspended her because of the anti-doping program.

Moore is still waiting for the results of her Sample B to come in but the situation isn’t looking for the Brit and she might even get suspended if her sample B also shows similar results as the first ones.

Tara Moore has been provisionally suspended till now and her suspension could turn permanent if her second sample also shows similar traces of prohibited substances that were evident in her first samples. Her A sample provided in Bogota in April “contained Nandrolone metabolites and Boldenone and its metabolite, which are prohibited substances”.

ITF says that Moore “now has the opportunity to request that the B sample is analyzed to see if that confirms the A sample”. The Brit had to give a walkover in her French Open 2nd round match on May 27.

Moore wrote on her Twitter, “I have never knowingly taken a banned substance in my career. I am investigating how the positive result could have occurred and look forward to proving that I am a clean athlete. I am deeply saddened by the provisional suspension and hope to be back on the court as soon as possible.”
