Following Max Purcell, another Aussie Tom Fancutt learns his fate from the ITIA

The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has confirmed that Australian tennis player Tom Fancutt has accepted a suspension of 10 months under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP).

Back in March, the Queenslander had entered into a voluntary provisional suspension, effective immediately after admitting to breaching Article 2.2 of the TADP (use of a Prohibited Method) by receiving an intravenous infusion over the accepted limit on December 3 2024.

The limit under the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC) and TADP is 100mL in a 12-hour period.

The ITIA had issued Fancutt a notice of a potential Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) on March 7.

Following a full investigation by the ITIA, which included evidence gathering and interviews with the player, Fancutt admitted to the breach, and the ITIA has accepted that the breach was not intentional.

Time served under the voluntary provisional suspension is credited against the period of ineligibility.

Therefore, Fancutt’s suspension will end on January 18 2026.

He will forfeit results and prize money from December 3 2024, to the first subsequent negative doping control sample, which was provided on January 16 this year.

During the period of ineligibility, Fancutt is banned from playing in, coaching at, or attending any tennis event authorised or sanctioned by the members of the ITIA (ATP, ITF, WTA, Tennis Australia, French Tennis Federation, Wimbledon and USTA) or any national association.
