A few hours ago I tweeted some news that had just come over the transom from the ITF’s Anti-Doping Programme, declaring that Richard Gasquet has been found guilty of a doping offense, for testing positive for cocaine during the Sony Ericsson Open (a tournament from which he withdrew without playing a match, justifying to some degree his argument that the test should have been treated as an out-of-competition procedure, in which case the presence of cocaine would not have exposed him to suspension).</p>

<p>The good news for Gasquet is that because of the circumstances, the tribunal that judged him decided to reduce a career-damaging one-year suspension to a merely income-damaging time-out of two months and 15 days. Gasquet is receiving credit for time served from May 1. That means he’s eligible to be back on the tour as of mid-July - certainly in time for most of the U.S. hard court season. That’s a good thing, given the circumstances. For it seems the only thing Gasquet was guilty of was being young, foolish, and in touch with his male hormones (to which many of my French colleagues shouted, Allez!)
