Dutch player Robin Haase had abnormally high levels of testosterone back in 2006 – report

Robin Haase of Netherlands revealed in an interview that when he underwent a drug test back in 2006, it was found out that the results showed abnormally high levels of testosterone. He added that he received a notification from ATP which advised him “to get a lawyer” and would have to get three more tests in the next two weeks.

The 26-year old explained his side in daily Volkskrant and he said that the letter he received also contained the text that “the abnormal level could very well be natural”.

Haase said that his succeeding tests still showed the same results.

“Every time my levels were the same, and I have not heard anything about it since,” he said.

“I have never been afraid of being pursued for this positive test as it was established that I hadn’t been doping”

“I have been tested a dozen times in 2013, but I think controls in tennis need to be better targeted.”
