Tennis star Imran Sibille has been provisionally suspended under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme. The International Tennis Integrity Agency has confirmed that the 23-year-old provided an in-competition sample while competing in an ITF World Tennis Tour M25 event in Catalonia on March 9 this year.

"The sample was split into A and B samples and the subsequent analysis found that the A sample contained cocaine," they said, in a released statement. "Cocaine is a non-Specified substance. Findings for non-Specified Substances carry a mandatory provisional suspension - in Sibille's case, this has been in effect from May 8, 2025."

The authority added that to date, Sibile has not take the option to appeal the sanction before an independent tribunal chair.

Sibille was previously a trainee at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca. Back in 2019, when still a teenager, he famously played Andy Murray in the Scot's first match on the Challenger Tour for 14 years.

The pair met at the Rafa Nadal Open, and Murray only needed 43 minutes to seal victory. He outclassed the teenager 6-0 6-1 in what was his first match back following hip surgery.

Sibille is yet to earn a card on the ATP Tour, and is currently ranked outside the world's top 1500. However, despite his low profile his doping breach is another unwelcome scandal for the sport.
