MADRID. — Rafa Nadal has asked the International Tennis Federation to publish the results of his drug tests following an accusation of doping by a former French cabinet minister.

The 14-times grand slam champion said on Monday he was suing Roselyne Bachelot, a former health, sports and social affairs minister, after she alleged the Spaniard had failed a drugs test.

The Spaniard wrote to the ITF asking his drug test results to be made public, British media have reported.

“It can’t be free any more in our tennis world to speak and to accuse without evidence,” media reports quoted the 29-year-old as saying. “Please make all my information public, please make public my biological passport and my complete history of anti-doping controls and tests.” — Reuters.
