Kamil Majchrzak is Poland’s No.2 singles tennis player, only behind world No.10 Hubert Hurkacz – he recently revealed testing positive for doping.
Polish tennis player Kamil Majchrzak has revealed that he has failed a drug test and now the future of his professional career is uncertain. Kamil Majchrzak stated that he tested positive in anti-doping controls during October and November. Majchrzak, who reached a career-high in the rankings of 75 in February, made the semi-finals in Pune, India, this year as well as two quarter-finals in Geneva and Sofia.
The 26-year-old revealed the news on social media. “I have some incredibly sad and difficult news to share with everyone. I have tested positive in anti-doping controls during October and November 2022. Firstly, I have never ever knowingly taken any banned substance. At this moment, I have no idea what has happened and this is the biggest shock. I’ve started the most difficult fight of my life – the fight to prove my innocence and return to the sport I love”, he wrote. It remains to be seen what the concerned authorities take action against Majchrzak, for violating anti-doping guidelines.
Let us take a look at some of the reactions from fans on Twitter.
“Surely it’s not possible that all of the players recently testing positive have never knowingly taking banned substances?”, wrote a fan.
“Hope he’ll be found not guilty, I would be very disappointed if that’s not the case”, tweeted another fan.
“There are several players that didn’t have the intention to take advantage of a specific substance. That is what WADA should really care about”, read a tweet.
Another fan wrote: “Every player gets tested +/- 20 times per year. It’s hard to believe that they knowingly take some prohibited substances accepting the risk. Especially here where his tests came positive for two consecutive months. I feel so bad for him and Halep.”
