Boris Becker and doping in tennis: “I think there are much more black sheep than we know”

Former ATP leader and multiple Grand Slam winner Becker believes that there are many other cases of doping in the world of tennis, but they went undetected or helped some players avoid testing positive.

“I’ve heard that various measures are also in place. In some countries, players are notified or notified that they are undergoing a doping test. I don’t want to name the players and countries now, but it’s a “known secret” that there are double standards.

Of course, this is unacceptable. Everyone should be treated equally. Whether it’s a big name or a player from America, Romania, Germany or Serbia.

This is the only way to get rid of the black sheep. I think there are a lot more black sheep than we all know” – Boris Becker for Eurosport.

On January 28, 1991, at the age of 55, Boris Becker became the world number one. He earned $25,080,956 in tennis prizes alone, and won six Grand Slam titles in his career: the Australian Open (1991, 1996), Wimbledon (1985, 1986, 1989) and the US Open (1989).
