British tennis player Tara Moore is banned for four years after her doping appeal is upheld
Moore tested positive for anabolic steroids boldenone and nandrolone in April 2022, but she was cleared in December 2023 after an independent tribunal determined that the result was caused by eating contaminated meat while she was competing in Colombia.
The ITIA appealed that ruling, focusing on the portion of the findings related to nandrolone, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in the ITIA's favor, saying the majority of its panel felt that Moore couldn't prove the sample was consistent with the ingestion of contaminated meat.
'For the ITIA, every case is considered according to the individual facts and circumstances," its CEO, Karen Moorhouse, said in a statement.
'Our bar for appealing a first instance decision is high, and the decision is not taken lightly. In this case, our independent scientific advice was that the player did not adequately explain the high level of nandrolone present in their sample. Today's ruling is consistent with this position."
The 32-year-old Moore is currently ranked No. 864 in singles and 187 in doubles, mostly playing in lower-level WTA Tour events since returning from her provisional suspension after the positive test. The ruling on Tuesday said that time would be credited toward her suspension.

Canadian YouTuber Lauren Southern alleges Andrew Tate strangled and raped her while she was unconscious
Canadian YouTuber and former far-right personality Lauren Southern has accused Andrew Tate of sexually assaulting and strangling her in a hotel room in 2018. The allegations were made in her newly released memoir, This Is Not Real Life , and further detailed on her Substack page. Southern says the incident occurred in February 2018, during a trip to Romania . She was there with British far-right activist Tommy Robinson to discuss a potential media venture with the Tate brothers . According to her account, Andrew Tate invited her to dinner, complimented her work, and later took her to a nightclub. She claims she had only one cocktail and a shot of liquor before becoming severely intoxicated and vomiting. Someone carried her to the bathroom, and she was later driven back to her hotel by Tate, who then carried her to her room. 'He asked me to sleep beside him,' she writes. 'I said yes. I was incredibly intoxicated.' She claims he kissed her unexpectedly, and while she briefly kissed back, she made it clear that she only wanted to sleep. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Protection Plan Suspended? McAfee Learn More Undo 'He wanted to go further. I said no, very clearly, multiple times, and tried to pull his hands off me,' she says. 'He put his arm around my neck and began strangling me unconscious. I tried to fight back. He repeatedly strangled me every time I regained enough consciousness to pull at his arms.' Southern says she did not report the incident to police immediately but later contacted UK authorities, who informed her that the case could only be pursued in Romania. She also visited a women's hospital for a medical examination about a week later. She says she kept quiet for years, feeling trapped by her anti-feminist image and the belief that she wouldn't be believed. Live Events This account adds to the growing list of legal troubles facing Andrew Tate. The British-American influencer is already facing 10 criminal charges in the UK, including rape, assault, and coercive control. His brother Tristan faces 11 charges. Both are also under investigation in Romania for human trafficking and rape related to their alleged operation of a 'sex cam' business. Tate has denied all previous allegations and has not publicly responded to Southern's claims. His legal team has not issued a statement. Southern ends her account by reflecting on the broader culture of impunity around powerful men. 'This wasn't a case of mixed signals,' she writes. 'I fought back. I was pleading.'
