Jenson Brooksby will not be permitted to compete until the first month of the 2025 season after being suspended for 18 months by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) Tuesday for missing three doping tests over a 12-month period.

Brooksby had disputed his second missed test after accepting responsibility for absences with the first and third tests. But an independent tribunal found the American had a “high” degree of fault for the test in question after reviewing evidence presented by Brooksby, the Doping Control Officer (DCO) and additional witnesses.

“The whereabouts programme is a vital tool in maintaining a clean sport. No-one wants players to fall foul of the rules in this way,” said ITIA CEO Karen Moorhouse in a statement released with the decision.
