Former world number seven Fernando Verdasco has accepted a two month ban from the International Tennis Integrity Agency for breaching anti-doping rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Spaniard, 39, tested positive for methylphenidate at an ATP Challenger event in February.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The world number 125 had forgotten to renew his Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for the medication, which is used to treat ADHD.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ITIA said it “accepts that the player did not intend to cheat”.<\/span><\/p>\n

A TUE is an official medical document giving an athlete permission to take a medication that is ordinarily prohibited but for the treatment of a legitimate condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ITIA added in a statement: “His violation was inadvertent and unintentional, and he bears no significant fault or negligence for it.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Verdasco’s ban was reduced from two years to two months to reflect his degree of fault, meaning he will be able to resume playing in January.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has been granted a new TUE for the medication.<\/span><\/p>\n
