Jenson Brooksby is not enjoying 2023 at all. He had to undergo 2 procedures for dislocated wrist tendons on both arms and he now announced that he has been provisionally suspended for allegedly missing 3 tests (doping) in 12 months. He denies any wrongdoing. This was his statement released on Instagram.
“As of July 5th,2023, I will be accepting a provisional suspension due to an allegation of three missed tests in a 12-month period. The provisional suspension is not an admission that I have done anything wrong; to the contrary, I have denied this charge and am waiting for an arbitration with an independent tribunal. The protocols of the anti-doping program are in place to protect the integrity of our sport, and I respect and support these protocols.
I have never failed a drug test, and I have never taken any substances that I was not allowed to take. I have been tested numerous times, including 3 times after surgery in March 2023.
One of the alleged missed tests occurred on June 4,h, 2022, in St. Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, 2 days before the start of the ATP 250 in St. Hertogenbosch. At the time of that test attempt, I was at the official tournament hotel where I said I would be, and in my hotel room, and the time that I had said I would be there.
I look forward to providing all the evidence and explaining what happened to an independent panel of arbitrators.
This year has been filled with tremendous adversity and I am looking forward to putting all this behind me and getting back on tour.”
