There’s been a claim circulating that Coco Gauff has been suspended after a positive drug test. As one of the most recognised players in women’s tennis, any allegation against her naturally draws attention — but when we check the available information, this particular claim doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.
To begin with, there is no credible source from official organisations such as the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) or the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) stating that Gauff has been suspended for a doping violation. While there are reports of athletes voicing concerns about anti-doping protocols — and indeed Gauff has spoken publicly about how the system feels somewhat “scary” for players — none of them indicate she is under sanction herself.
In interviews, Gauff has expressed anxiety over taking anything that might put her at risk of a failed test. She has emphasised that she “gets scared” to take medications, and called for clearer and faster responses when players ask whether a substance is permitted. But again, these statements imply caution — not accusation or suspension.
In short: the statement that Coco Gauff has been suspended for drugs is not supported by verifiable evidence. It appears to be either misinformation or a misunderstanding. If you like, I can check the latest official records and see if there has been a very recent development.
