Is tennis catching doping cheats or ruining careers?

A system designed to uncover cheats in tennis has come under sharpened scrutiny in the wake of former Wimbledon champion Simona Halep being banned for a doping offence.

British doubles player Tara Moore losing two years of her career has also raised questions. She has recently returned after contaminated meat was deemed the source of her failed test.

Those at the heart of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) - the independent body set up by the sport's governing bodies to fulfil a mission of providing 'tennis you can trust' - insist it still serves its purpose.
