Marc Madiot believes Novak Djokovic should be banned after the Davis Cup incident

After Serbia’s elimination from the semi-finals of the Davis Cup, Novak Djokovic is back in the spotlight of the tennis world.

The world leader refused a doping test before the Davis Cup quarter-final match against Cameron Norrie, and the Serbian rather harshly corrected the agents, saying that they do not understand tennis.

After Serbia were beaten by Italy in the semi-finals of the Davis Cup, Marc Madiot, a former cyclist, suggested that Nole be suspended for refusing the test.

“In the range of alloying products, there are products that can be detected within an extremely limited period of time. If the test is not carried out before the start of the competition, the time of the competition allows for the elimination of traces of the doping product. Detection is possible within a limited time relative to consumption.

For this, pre-competitive testing was introduced. It’s surreal to be warned! This is no longer an unannounced test.

We have the right to test before and after the competition. He refused to qualify before the competition. If the anti-doping organization does its job, Djokovic should be suspended. He refused pre-competition testing and then underwent post-competition testing.

While cycling you are tested and if you refuse you get a positive result. If the test is positive, you will be fined. You don’t have the right to refuse testing, these are the rules.” – he said, reports News.ro.
